Morning Judy. Are you wanting to keep Foxtel for the van or transfer it to a new premises? It may also depend on whether you are in a contract period. If you move it to another premises, they will just transfer the contract and account to the new place, but will no doubt charge you for re-installation. If, however, you want to keep the decoder and take it on the road (which is something they will NOT agree to), the only problem I found was where do they send the bill as it is meant to be sent to the premises where the service is installed (or a PO Box). While you can check your account owing online, I tried to have them send the bill to an email address only which would have also saved me the $2.50 per month statement fee, but they still want to send a paper bill. I have found Foxtel pretty inflexible. While our account is actually in my wife's name and I am nominated as an authorised person, they will accept upgrade requests from me, but will not process any requests to downsize the package, move to a new premises or cancel the service. Good luck!

If you deal with Foxtel online, you wont receive any mail or bills in the mail. They all come online and you can give Foxtel a Direct Debit, saves you paying every month manually. You could also put a redirection on snail mail at your local Post Office to a family member or someone you trust.

Now you can take the Foxtel dish and Decoder and use them your Van. Remember the Decoder is 240 volt so you need to be plugged into power. You can also buy a stand to put the dish in. Yes Foxtel wont approve but they don't know where you are with the dish and decoder. As long as you keep paying, you'll never hear from them. I know of several people that do it.

I have been taking my fox/austar stsystem with us when we travel for the last 5-6 yrs. I once rang them with a fault forgetting where I was, when the guy found out he just said I don't wan't to know and fixed the fault. They want your money and are happy to turn a blind eye.
