Fetch Mighty

Over the last 6 months our Fetch Mighty box has been intermittently losing many of its features, the most annoying is its software failure to hold recording requests. Our 2nd Fetch box overheated and ran hot as an oven. I paid for the latest mini model but its software was incompatible with my 5 year old Mighty box. The mini box was returned for… Read more

a refund so then I purchased a second hand Fetch Mighty box to run in the second room. I asked Fetch to add this box to my account BEFORE the closing date (29/10/26) when all eligible boxes would be covered by the new “once only” $29.99 fee to extend the service for another year.

This assurance was given to me in an email. After a delay of about a week the reply from Fetch : “You will start the Fetch Access subscription ($4.49/month) after you add a device to your Fetch account after September 4th. Since this is a second Fetch device, a Multiroom fee of $4.49/month will also be included.” In my humble opinion this is just a money grabbing exercise as both Fetch Mighty box boxes had no fees applied to them since they were purchased new over 5 years ago.

Completely unscrupulous company. I have bought two Fetch Mighty boxes in the past decade outright at retail stores and now they're trying to extort money by threatening they are going to disable the remaining working unit I OWN outright to record FREE to air. How is that even legal???????????? Minus stars if possible! Show details

I bought fetch paid $1 activation fee to record free to air tv now they want me to pay a subscription so I can record FREE to air tv and watch movies that I have bought from them

Shame on you Telstra – Absolute c**p can’t believe Telstra would go anywhere near this garbage product, Telstra “ what were you thinking “ somebody needs to be sacked.

Usually turn tv on and have no reception through fetch unless I unplug and restart fetch unit.Can’t get binge. Often can’t get Prime unless I unplug and restart Fetch unit. I was happy with our old Telstra unit and hate this terrible fetch system . Show details

If you are thinking of buying a Ferch TV box, don't! I put up with constant rebooting issues. Out of nowhere it decides to reboot itself. My record was 4 times in one day, but the average is once a day. My ISP Aussie Broadband will not take… Read more

responsibility for it other than to say it needs to be reset. A hard reset will wipe all my recorded shows I dillegently collected over the years when I paid for a an additional channel pack. Why should I lose all of those tv show, movies and various tv series without being compensated when the issue is with a product they're charging me for, and there's no phone support, it's all emails. It's a joke! Fetch TV is a poorly designed and built piece of rubbish. Don't buy one!

I enjoy being able to record 6 shows at once, which means I can build my own library and skip all the repeats. Plus, the 4K quality on the newer apps is a big quality jump for me. Show details

I personally love the Knowledge Pack for my David Attenborough fix on BBC Earth. It’s basically wall-to-wall nature docs that you just can't find on the other big streaming apps. Show details

I went with the Mighty because I wanted the 1TB hard drive to record sports and documentaries while I am at work. The interface is really snappy and the movie rental store has a huge range of new releases that are easy to rent with the monthly credit that comes with my subscription. Show details

I paid $599 for the Fetch TV box with a $1 activation with lifetime use, now Fetch TV have changed their mind and want to charge a monthly subscription or a one-time fee $29.99 non-recurring extended service levy until 30 June 2028 which will change the Terms and Conditions or they will brick my Fetch TV box from being used. I only bought the… Read more

Fetch TV box to watch free to air TV and free internet TV. The last firmware has caused issues watching certain local free TV via the internet.

Many crashes and hanging over the years, had to replace the hard drive. Paid $500 for the unit with a $1 lifetime promise, now Fetch want to charge $29 for service for another year (service? What service). Dodgy company and would not do business with them again. Show details

Thieves, plain and simple. $600 bucks to buy the bloody thing with a promise on the box that the $1 activation fee was the only once off payment, PERIOD. Now the leeches have changed their T&Cs and said "As technology, content services, and security systems evolve, older devices become less able to perform and function as intended over time. … Read more

Supporting older hardware makes it increasingly challenging to deliver the latest features and high-quality entertainment experience cost-effectively to all customers." However the issue they have pointed out will all go away and everything will be fine if we pay them a $29.99 fee. If not, they will forcefully brick the device rendering it useless.

I own two Fetch boxes, they were purchased to allow me to record free to air programs, they were never purchased for movie or subscription services, they now want to charge me a fee to use these boxes, is this even legal?

They are threatening people that the fetch mighty gen 3 boxes will be bricked of you refuse to pay $29 fee, after customers who brought them outright and paid up to around $1000 say these customers are free loafers. Mighty gen 4 boxes will be next. So many times I got messaged running low on bandwidth and the issue was them not my connection and they expect you to pay for these streaming channels Show details

We purchased a number. of these boxes over the last few years . they worked fine, although updates were trying to demand too much from the hardware. Now Fetchtv has decided to shakedown loyal customers to demand a $30 fee or they threaten to completly disable the customers devices. What a disgraceful marfia like action.. Thousands of these will… Read more

end up in landfil because fetchtv refuse to unlock them for cusotmers to make useful as PVR’s, and demand money to keep them going. They basically changed the T&C years after the purchase to gouge $$$ NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM FETCHTV .. If I could give zero starts, Fetch would have it.

Greed is not the only problem. In the past Phone customer service was very helpful, now there is no longer any phone support, only via email. I need to re-activate my boxes after the FETCH site removed my boxes for some reason. So far no response to Chat or online enquiry. Not only that but a ticket raised on the Chat enquiry has been sent to… Read more

another person's email account, not mine, not the one I logged into the Fetch site and put into the chat box. Have no idea how that can even happen. I went back to the Chat and they raised another ticket but sent it to that other email - not mine. Only because it was sent to a relative that I even know that happened. Also, while on the Chat I was advised to sign into the FETCH site online and open up a Chat session. As I pointed out to the Chat Bot, I am already signed in and am now on the Chat. I have no faith that they will even re-activate my two boxes. I will let you know if they do, but I think I have just lost Fetch forever.

You get 1 month FREE.Well i think that is a pretty sad case that youre company Fetch Tv steal money from people $26.99.because you option people IN to an account without asking if we want it.and we are told we can option out after you RAPE money from our account..Youre multimillion dollar company,l hope you choke on your Greed. With no refund I will be canceling Fetch. Sincerly Geoff Show details

So Fetch has just been sending out emails that the 'mighty gen 3' is nearing its outdated period and has informed that you won't be able to stream Netflix or Prime in 2026 and so would need to purchase the next model up ($550-$600) BUT you would have to pay a subscription fee of $4.99 per month for the privilege to use Fetch - this is an absolute rip off. Shame on you FETCH - you've just lost another customer due to your greed

Run. Do not use fetch. You will regret it. since they went independent, they become completely useless. STAY AWAY. And they have no phone number, their support via email is useless.

Wish I could give minus stars! Fetch mighty is absolutely terrible and I can’t believe they have the nerve to charge some people money. It constantly drops out while I try to watch anything and everything. When you look at how to fix an issue it always points you at everything else and away from their useless piece of rubbish.

If i could give zero stars i would i hate fetch with everything in me it freezes non stop when it does it takes ages to fix it does it when ever but its become more frequent now like weekly i spent money on this crap to not work now I have to spend even more money to get something else its upgrading always so annoying do not buy one Show details

Absolute junk, typical Telstra .No support at all. Anything they promote you just know it’s not up to standard like the mobile service. Since going to google I’ve had no issues at all. Show details
