I want to list all the upcoming movies or documentaries, on TV in the next week . I could choose which to record. Nope. Can't do that - you have to plough through the EPG. I don't think you can store recorded programs in categories (drama, comedy, etc) either. Only earlier models of Humax could do lots of clever cataloguing.
With 1TB of storage many programs can be stored. How do you sort them? Just wait till you trying looking through all the randomly stored progs. You can only sort by date and Channel. I don't see the point. Not as bad as Humax though - who are all tricks.
Note: Not Wireless. cable only.

They understand loyalty and gave me a very reasonable package never had problems with Optus TV when I have had a question were friendly and fixed quickly

Avoid at all possible costs. I went with OPTUS as I can't stand anything owned by Murdoch. To sum up I would rather go without pay TV all together.

This was a poor experience. Delays with install. Charged for months of no service. Average programs. More Ads that free TV. Optus are truly rubbish.

Two years of misery & system replaced twice have to reboot daily now not working will cancel after xmas
program content is appalling shows from 10 years ago on high rotation old movies charged as new
promised call backs to rectify never happened just rubbish.

The programs are constantly repeated, on the whole they are not that interesting after a while . Would love to see something more intelligent, i do like animals but most documentary are to do with them . Kind of tired of Hearing about sharks etc . We pay for it you would think that they would change their programs more often. Argh

I have had optus cable tv for several years, but i am going to disconnect soon. Movies are being repeated an enormous number of times, when the same old movie is being shown on another channel it becomes a "premiere". The number of commercials is mind boggling. The contents is uninteresting. Expensive. I am very disappointed, feel ripped off and cheated.
Occasionally interesting documentaries.
Commercials, commercials, commercials. Contents endlessly repeated.

After many many loyal years with optus tv and having our top end package constantly changed without consultation or options - this latest change is the worst! Less channels - in particular the severely culled movie channels - but still the same cost. Again! As usual as the cost gets higher the service goes lower. All the while their glitzy promos try to tell us that optus have done something great and we are getting all this fab new stuff, etc etc! Give me a decent competitor and i will be there!! Please!!!!! On the upside, i have started reading more books again - so maybe i will just dump the service... Hmmmm - sounds like a good idea!

Expensive, less options, less value for money

I joined optus many years ago, was ok to start with, but lately nothing but repeats, how many times do we have to see the same show, week after week the same shows, series - they don't start at the beginning and work through the episodes, they play the same episode over and over, programs being shown are possible 3 to 4 years old so we have to watch then for 3 to 4 years over and over, have not seen a current program for years, come on Optus get your finger out and give us value for our mighty dollar.
Now days finding not many things to say I enjoy about Optus
The continual repeated programs and continual interruptions with ads.

I joined optus when they first put their cable past here when I had a Gold Package, then they cut down the number of channels I had in my package, changed it to something else and uped the cost and the cost still keeps going up and the service is going down.Nothing but ads,bad shows, the same shows that are on free to air and now we are getting more and more cop shows,soopy daytime serials from a hundred years ago. It's just not good enough for the cost of the service
Some of the shows are ok
repeat after repeat and now more ads then on free to air

Had Optus TV since around 1997. They used to be good until they 'merged' with foxtel. They didn't seem to care anymore. And for good reason, they recently closed down their TV offering (obviously due to what foxtel has done).
They used to have good pricing when bundled, and the reliablity was very good.
We moved to Foxtel recently as Optus TV started changing some things for the worse and soon after stopped offering the TV to new customers.
The channel packages could have been organised better though, that one thing that I would have liked :)
Good if you had it bundled.
Closed down.

I have had optus tv since august last year and i have never had any problem whats so ever,I couldnt live without it now.The package's are a good price most are cheaper then foxtel and the difference is that optus is cable and foxtel dish.Cable is more stable in the way if you have bad weather its does'nt get affected.Love how you can order a box office movie instead of going to the video shop makes it easy that way.Very clear picture.Channels for all ages this is a family favorite in my house.
10/10 from me cant live without.
Excellent package,Good value and its cable cant beat that.
