Foxtel from Telstra

Although still happy with my Telstra T-Box, which Telstra pulled from sales last year and replaced with Telstra TV (stupid thing), I suspect T-Box services will end in the near future – don’t know ??? Today I was browsing the Telstra Foxtel offers when a Chat online popped up, OK Joy lets chat LOL. Advised her that none of the Telstra Foxtel packages appealed to me and that I want to build my own like on the Foxtel website, Entertainment + Movies + Doco...s for $56 bucks. She pointed me to a special online offer (see picture) where after signup I could fiddle with the packages to suit myself…BUT…that required credit/debit verification (no to that) and still includes Sport – which I don’t want. OK…Joy transferred me in-house to Honey (nice name LOL) and we went around the dance floor again resulting in a – done deal !!!

The Sports package is part of the online offer (offline for me) and yes I can remove that at a later date but she’s saying why would I ?

Install – free
IQ2 – free
Entertainment + Movies + Docos - $56 (same as Foxtel)
plus
Sports for $4 = $60 bucks
with
Friday 12th install

I will then remove Foxtel from T-box to recover $40, basically a $20 changeover – happy with that

Days getting longer

Wow...5.30pm and the chooks have only just gone to bed, the days must be getting longer!

Sunset this evening 17.37 EST

Garage CCTV system

Preparing for our annual council waste collection, here the chooks are very busy rummaging through some of the pruning's.

Memories

Some good memories here for the oldies and in many ways a better life for all in the fifties & sixties. Throw in a few more briquettes before settling down to watch the telly. And yes...lots of yarn adverts, some years later someone gave me one of those knitting machines to repair and found the problem but parts not available - sound familiar

CCTV system for garage

CCTV system - setup my spare Cocoon 4 camera kit in the garage to monitor the backyard, in particular our chooks and the bloody cat from over the back fence. Mind you have not actually see the thing in the yard since I put up wire mesh along the back fence and also have my DIY motion activated sprinkler ready to set up.



Camera 2 in the coop is done, still deciding  where the others will go and make rain covers for them.

 

Checking on the chooks

Waiting in the car for ET while out shopping so checked in on the chooks back home.

CoopCam

Nicer day today so finally ran the camera cables to utilise the second 4 Camera CCTV-DVR system that's been sitting on a lounge seat for some months - bloody weather. Setup one camera to spy on five ladies :-)



Stay tuned...more to come on this.

Just put the chooks to bed.

.Good night girls.
