So if you watch FetchTv via a Optus Plan then its possibly best to get the second box from Optus as well. Regards Peter Gillespie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Peter Gillespie peter im not buying one as a 2nd, i was just advising incase someone else was considering. by the way adding a 2nd fetch via optus is not cheap in my opinion. and for us it was better / cheaper to hand in our tivo to get the special rate on fetch hn do in that case. so would advise anyone getting a 2nd through optus to check and make sure deal getting as might be better to buy outright especially if discounted. you can run optus yes tv and shop bought fetch units. all you loose is multi room which we didnt want anyways. they still work just work independently of each other. but yes if wanting multi room either stick with both units as shop bought or optus supplied yes tv fetch units Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made this mistake buying them on eBay that weren't disclosed as Optus supplied boxes. I now can't use them (I'm not an Optus customer). We absolutely need the multi-room functionality.

Isn't it illegal to them to sell. As you wouldn't be able to activate ? Am not sure optus will provide a code to activate units they haven't supplied you. Can you lodge a case on eBay? It's easy to identify the optus units as they are listed as yes TV in branding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people end up surprised they can't use multi room when they buy their second box not via Optus. FWIW I'm not a big fan of leasing anything. Unless government subsidised its invariably a much worse deal IMO. Optus have just launched a whole leasing option for their mobile phone plans. Its completely senseless locking the customer into all the risk if the phone is damaged or lost and you end up after 2 years with nothing to show for it. Amazingly Optus also offer a standard PAYG phone option where you own - the phone outright after 2 years - its has all the options and benefits of the lease plan and none of the down side - its just a few ($5ish) more expensive each month. So far the only reason anyone at Optus has come up for why someone would go the leasing option is "Some people don't like the hassle of working out what to do with their 2 year old phone."

Multi room works on boxes bought in store (but all the boxes have to be bought in store). You just can't mix an Optus and store bought box. That said you should still be able to access recordings across any boxes just not subscriptions to pay channels etc. Regards Peter Gillespie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Marc Posted June 29, 2017 Author Administrator Share Posted June 29, 2017 I definitely can't access recordings from one box to another between a store bought and a yes branded box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
