Important pack changes
What’s happening to the Entertainment Pack?
The Entertainment Pack is being phased out in 2017. You can stay on this pack if you wish, but if you remove it,
you can’t add it again.
What’s in the Ultimate Pack?
Upgrade to the Ultimate Pack for all the Entertainment channels and more. The Ultimate Pack includes all four
Skinny Packs: Vibe, Variety, Knowledge, and Kids.
If you prefer, you can also add just one or two Skinny Packs rather than the Ultimate Pack. If you try to add all
Skinny Packs, we’ll prompt you to get the Ultimate Pack as this is more cost-effective.
If you have the Entertainment Pack, you’d need to remove it before you can upgrade to the new Ultimate or
Skinny Packs.
For more info on available channels, go to: fetch.com.au/packages
Do I need one pack to add more packs?
Before, you needed the Entertainment Pack to subscribe to some packs. Now, you don’t need a prior pack
subscription to add more packs. So you don’t need one Skinny Pack to add another or the Ultimate Pack to add
a World Channel Pack.
Can I downgrade from Ultimate Pack?
To downgrade from the Ultimate Pack to one or more Skinny Packs, you’d need to remove the Ultimate Pack
first. You can then add just the Skinny Packs you want.
