If you do not want to pay, you can watch great free channels on the internet, like ABC iview, SBS On Demand, 7plus, 9Now, 10 play, and YouTube
What do you need to start watching?
- Good internet: You need a fast internet connection at home so your movie does not pause.
- An account: You will need to sign up with your name, email address, and bank card details.
Tip: Watch out for free trials!
- Try before you buy: Many streaming services offer a free trial period for new customers to try it out first.
- Remember to cancel: When you sign up for a free trial, you still have to put in your bank card details. To avoid being charged money, make sure you cancel the trial before the free time ends!
