FAQ

You got questions, we got answers.

How can I find out what's on FOX8 or more information about my favourite shows?
For schedule information up to seven days in advance, click ‘Guide’ in the top navigation bar or if you would like to get a little more down and dirty with your favourite programs click on ‘Shows’ for all sorts of stuff.

How can I obtain a copy of a show I saw on FOX8?
Unfortunately FOX8 is only permitted to broadcast programs. Selling or giving away programs would be a breach of our contract which makes our caged lawyers very angry. That said, most distributors do sell many of their programs on video/DVD or sell program merchandise. Try searching on the internet.

Are FOX8 shows closed-captioned?
Many of the programs on FOX8 are closed captioned. We are working to caption more and more of our programming so stay tuned. Turning closed captions on is easy with your Digital Set Top Unit. For instructions please refer to your User Manual or go to the FOXTEL website.

Why was WWE RAW or SMACKDOWN shorter here than in the US?
Sometimes we will broadcast a WWE program in a shorter slot than in the US. This happens because we play fewer commercials than the American broadcasters do. The only time we make edits to a WWE program is when overpaid lawyers tell us to.

How do I become Australia’s Next Top Model?
Auditions for Australia’s Next Top Model Series 6 have just been completed and the finalists will be announced soon, so keep your eye on FOX8.tv for more details.
