Make the most of your new TV this summer with bonus offers

December 18th, 2012

Unless you’re into cricket or tennis, summer television viewing can be a bit of a challenge.

The holiday season is one of the only times of the year that we have the opportunity to relax in front of a big screen TV, so some brands are offering gifts to help enhance your viewing experience.

Samsung + Foxtel

Samsung is offering access to selected subscription television channels thanks to two months of free access to Foxtel on Internet TV.

Up to 30 Foxtel channels – including Nickelodeon, Fox Sports, National Geographic and MTV – are available for viewing when you purchase one of the more than 20 eligible Smart TV models.

Because the channels are accessed via the internet, there is no installation, no additional unit and no lock-in contract required.

The offer is available until January 7.

Panasonic + Quickflix

If settling in for a movie or TV show marathon is more your style, then Panasonic may be able to help you out.

Purchase a Panasonic VIErA SMART TV or Panasonic Blu-ray or HDD recorder before December 31and customers will also receive a bonus three months of Quickflix streaming.

Quickflix offers users access to a library of hundreds of the latest movies and TV shows instantly, including the best from HBO and the BBC.

With the ability to organise your existing files and play back content in virtually any format, the Boxee combines searching, networking and viewing all into one small unit.

The offer ends December 24.

Krissy Davis

All the way from the land of the flightless bird, Krissy brings a part of New Zealand culture to the Appliances Online content team. And although she is adamant she does not say 'fush and chups', she can't deny her continuous use of the term 'sweet as' and her ongoing argument with her team on the correct name for jandals (thongs). One thing is for certain, however, her passion for her kiwi slang is matched with her love for sharing news, hacks and buying tips for all things appliances! Krissy's favourite appliance is the Tefal Cook4Me multi cooker, as she believes it's ok to let an appliance do all the work for you.
