SBS On Demand lands on Foxtel iQ3 & iQ4

SBS streaming app joins Netflix and ABC iview as Foxtel continues to provide the best of TV and on demand all in one place

Foxtel today announced that the SBS On Demand app would be available to its customers

with the iQ3 or iQ4 set top box from tomorrow.



The move broadens Foxtel’s already significant streaming footprint and means customers

now have access to content from three of Australia’s most popular streaming providers:

Netflix*, ABC and SBS.



The arrival of SBS On Demand brings a host of streamed content including SBS-produced

news, documentaries and entertainment as well as curated international drama and

movies. This includes complete seasons of shows such as Years and Years (season 1); The

Handmaid’s Tale (season 3); The Young Pope (season 1) and The New Pope (season 1);

On Becoming A God In Central Florida (season 1) and SBS’s award-winning local drama,

The Hunting (season 1). SBS On Demand also offers complete box sets of fan favourites

such as The Bridge (seasons 1-4); New Girl (seasons 1-7); The X-Files (seasons 1-11);

Harlots (season 1-3); You’re The Worst (seasons 1-4) and Borgen (season 1-4).

Foxtel’s Chief Product and Strategy Officer Alice Mascia said: “We are pleased to add the

incredibly popular SBS On Demand app to our iQ3s and iQ4s providing customers an even

broader range of content directly on their Foxtel set top boxes while also giving SBS access

to an highly engaged TV audience.



“The addition of SBS On Demand comes at particularly relevant time for customers as they

settle in at home supporting social distancing measures. Since its launch last year, feedback

from customers on the New Foxtel Experience has been exceptionally positive with more

than one million homes now experiencing the best of TV and on demand all on one place.”

SBS On Demand General Manager Chris Tangye said: “SBS On Demand is home to some

of the world’s best and most distinctive programming, providing a truly unique collection of

content for Australians. With everything from culinary adventures, global cinema, compelling

drama, thought-provoking documentaries and trusted news and current affairs. There

couldn’t be a better time to be bringing this to more audiences through Foxtel iQ3 and iQ4 as

we all look for opportunities to escape and be entertained, as well as informed.



“Foxtel audiences will also be able to access SBS On Demand’s extensive multilingual

offering, including many locally-made programs available with subtitles through our Arabic

and Chinese Collections.”

SBS On Demand will begin arriving for iQ3 and iQ4 customers from tomorrow morning and

will download automatically to set top boxes putting its content, along with Netflix, ABC iview

and Foxtel’s own live and on demand programming, at customers’ fingertips.
