Entertainment lovers we’ve got some mighty fine news to share with you!
While you may be familiar with the Fetch Mini, you may not have heard about the Fetch Mighty. Those who already have the Fetch Mini know all about the huge features jam-packed into the tiny set top box. Now without further ado, we’d like to introduce you to the Mini’s bigger sibling – the Fetch Mighty set top box!
The Fetch Mighty has all the Fetch Mini has to offer, plus MORE! We’ve packaged up the BIGGEST and best features you should take note of. When you take up a Fetch Standard subscription with iiNet, you can upgrade to the Fetch Mighty during signup.
One of the biggest benefits of the Fetch Mighty is its massive 1 terabyte hard drive. Along with this it also has the ability to record up to 585 hours of standard definition TV. Not only can you record up to 6 shows at once while watching another but you can also Series Tag a show to ensure it records every episode so you don’t miss a moment!
The Fetch Mighty’s ability to record combined with the Fetch mobile app means that if you’ve left the house and forgotten to record something, you can simply jump on the app and remotely set the recording for when you need it – how handy is that?
The Fetch Mighty includes Free-to-Air TV, Catch-Up TV, and add-on premium channel packs that you can subscribe to for just $6.00 per month, as well as a huge selection of the latest shows in the Fetch TV Store. You can also access your Netflix, Stan and hayu subscriptions** with ease by linking your account in the Apps menu. The Fetch Mighty also supports 4K, giving you access to Netflix and YouTube 4K content!^^ When it comes to the big screen, there is also a huge range of movies to buy or rent from the Fetch Movie Store and 30 pre-selected included movies anytime in Movie Box.
Looking for entertainment on the go? Download the Fetch Mobi App and you’ll be able to watch premium channels, TV shows and movies on your device. You can even use your phone as a second remote for when the main remote is nowhere to be found!
One of the coolest features of the app is the ability to download and go. If you’re headed out and keen to finish a movies or show that you’ve already purchased, simply hop on the app and select download. You can now watch it anywhere, anytime on your device, even when you’re not connected to a mobile network! Just keep on eye on the stops during your commute so you don’t miss your stop!
Get it for FREE on iOS and Android.
Fetch Multiroom means no one misses a show and the whole family is happy. Multiroom allows you to enjoy your premium channels with just one subscription^. You can watch movie and TV shows you have purchased on your account on any box, and watch your recordings in up to three different rooms! If you like to mix it up, you can even start a movie or show in one room and continue it in another room! Better still, if you record a show on your Mighty, you can watch it in another room on the Mini!
Keep in mind that each additional set top box will need about 3Mbps of bandwidth so be sure to check your broadband speed to see if you have at least 6Mbps.
With a huge range of features and a mighty great price, don’t wait! Check out the Fetch Mighty and deliver even bigger entertainment to your family.
T&C’s
*A Fetch service requires an active broadband account with the iiNet Group.
**Buying content gives you access to that content via your Fetch service. You have access to purchased content for as long as you have your current Fetch account. You will lose access to all purchased content if your account is cancelled or deactivated. Netflix, Stan and hayu streaming memberships required.
^ Additional $59.99 setup fee applies and a $10/month Fetch Standard Multiroom subscription is required for each Fetch Mini in a Multiroom setup.
^^ 4K content requires a 4K TV and eligible broadband connection.
Hi, I have two accounts with iiNet: an ADSL2 and an NBN account at separate properties. If I buy a Fetch Mighty can I transfer it between properties and use it at both?
Hi Criag,
Sadly, no. The Fetch unit, either Mini or Mighty, is tied to the service it was provisioned against, so its not possible to move the unit to different locations.
– Leo
Hi Erin, does this instrument stream live HD-TV via the NBN network and without utilizing an external antenna?
Hi Jeff,
You’ll need an antenna to access Free To Air TV content. Otherwise, all other programming is delivered via your internet connection through Fetch.
– Leo
We have had a fetch box for a few years now and pay $10.00 per month for it. Do we ever pay this thing off or can we get an upgrade to this later model. What are the options.
Hi Tony,
Sounds like you have a rental unit. this is always the property of iiNet though you are able to upgrade via a purchase of a new Fetch Mighty or Mini.
– Leo
Hi Erin. I have an older Fetch set top box. How would an upgrade to a Mighty work?
Hi Neil,
The upgrade is easy and depending on the previous unit you may have, we may not even ask for it back. The best way is to give our team a call on 13 19 17 – Sales will be able to arrange a new unit for you via purchase.
– Leo
i have been with you for over nine years and i rang about the fetch plan you have for new customers $59.00 @ month with the nbn…..and was told i would have to pay an extra $5.00 @ month on top of the plan i have now….why do long term customers have to pay extra
Hi Merrilyn
Sounds like you’re on a grandfathered (no longer offered) plan, so you’re likely looking at a small price change. Have a look at what you currently have, versus what an upgrade and paying the extra amount might give you – usually the minor increase in costs comes with more benefits!
– Leo
When will the Fetch boxes support Amazon Prime?
I HAD 2 FETCH BOXES AND EVENTUALLY GAVE THE SERVICE UP BECAUSE WHEN THERE WERE PROBLEMS, AND I HAD QUITE A FEW, THE ONLY WAY IINET COULD FIX THEM WAS BY DOING A FACTORY RESTORE, WHICH MEANT THAT I LOST ALL THE PROGRAMS I HAD RECORDED. THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY WAY TO TRANSFER THE RECORDINGS FROM ONE BOX TO ANOTHER
Hi Mark,
Sorry to hear this!
There is no way to transfer recordings from the Fetch box, due to copyright concerns. A Factory restore is a last option if a box is faulty, but this will remove all recordings, setting the unit back to factory standard.
– Leo
I had two Fetch Mighty they were fabulous only lasted two years that I paid for . Then when the second one broke I got told that the mighty box was faulty and they would only send me the Fetch Mini Box Whitch doesn’t have recording
and the Fetch Mini was difficult to set up , I have missed many shows on free to air because of no recording .
Hi Janene,
Sorry to hear this! It sounds like you had either a Generation 1 or Generation 2 box, not the Fetch Mighty (which is only as recent release). Have you had a chat to staff about seeing if a change from a Mini to the Mighty is possible?
– Leo
I have been interested in this product for awhile. Will this use the Internet to record shows and if so how much if recording shows and watching them.
Hi Sandra,
The Mighty has a massive amount of storage for a PVR – 1TB. This means you can record hundreds of hours of shows without issue. It’ll use Free to Air where available and use the internet for streaming shows. Data amounts vary but bank on around 1Gb for a movie.
– Leo
Not so happy! No subtitles with any Fetch Movies so of no use to me on that score. Why this discrimination against the deaf?
Is the fetch mighty wifi? The power adapters are useless with our current fetch box.
Hi Hayden,
Yes! The Fetch Mighty does have Wi-Fi capability.
– Leo
i got the mini from IInet and it stuffed the remote for my TV, now useless
Because I wanted to record I had to go and buy a mighty and set up a subscription with fetch because IInet did not support it.
Hi Brian,
Sorry to hear about the remote difficulties, hoping the team were able to lend a hand in straightening this out. We are sadly only able to provide fetch through set top boxes we’ve provided which may have been the cause of the trouble. Very glad to hear you’ve found an alternative that has worked for you though.
– Josh
Hi what is the set up fee actually for?
Can you please break it down for me.
Is the fee for the purchase of the box?
Hi Tim!
Great question! Essentially, yes. The hardware purchase is what constitutes as the setup fee.
– Josh
Hi, I am very interested in this product. I have been a customer for many years.
My concern is:
My current NBN Connection thru iinet suffers from packet loss so watching shows via the internet results in freezing and then you miss the rest of the tv show or movie.
Packet loss is a problem.
I assume this will also effect the Fetch, is this correct ?
Hi Darren,
Cheers for the comment! I would most certainly recommend raising the packet loss issues with the support team on 13 22 58 to try have that resolved first and foremost. It would very much depend where the packets were being lost along the way as to how your experience would play out, however, we can certainly lend a hand getting you back up and running smoothly again. We always want the best possible internet experience for all our customer’s and would love to see that your connection troubles are sorted to make your future fetch service as beneficial as possible.
– Josh
I have a fetch mighty and it is a very good product. Unfortunately the earlier generation models were very unreliable and I also had two, with each failing after 12 months. I remain hopeful that the robots that build those early models have been sacked and that the quality control at the assembly plant has now been improved.
Hi Jeff,
The mighty has certainly earned it’s name in my books! Sorry to hear that you had so many issues with earlier iterations of the set top box. If you ever do have any troubles, please always feel more than welcome to give us a shout on any of our social media platforms (Facebook & Twitter).
– Josh
Is the Mighty system compatible with NBN Skymuster?
Hi Beat,
Cheers for the comment! Sadly at this time we’re unable to provide fetch services on NBN Skymuster services. As there are very strict fair use policies put in place by wholesale on data allocation for satellite services it would hinder the usability of the service, this of course is not something we want. Sorry.
– Josh
Is this something similar to foxtel. It’s something that I would be interested in if it has similar shows as gospel is definately out of price range.
Hi Olivia,
We’d absolutely encourage you to have a look at Fetch, if you’re considering an alternative to traditional Pay-TV options!
– Leo
I’m a 10 year plus member with IINET including it’s previous incarnations.
Is the fetch offer available to me and what are the costs involved?
Hi Michael,
Yes, this is available to you – the costs are as what is listed in the article.
– Leo
Do you have to pay for Stan and Netflix or is this included in the price because I went to watch Netflix and it say’s that I have to pay for this service
Hi Marise,
You will still need an active Stan or Netflix subscription – Fetch gives you an alternative way to access these services, which is handy if you don’t have a Smart TV, or a TV attached to a device like a PC.
– Leo
Can i record shows on Pinoy Channel on a Mighty Box?
Yes, you can!
– Leo
Hi I’m interested in upgrading to a Mighty. Can the cost be paid on the monthly bill until the cost has been covered or is it only an upfront payment possible.
Thanks
Hi Gayle,
Fetch Mighty is only available via an upfront payment at this stage.
– Leo
Do you have to buy the mighty or can you rent it like I do with the mini ?
Hi Duart,
There’s no rental option for the Mighty at this time.
– Leo
Hi, I already have fetch tv, but I only have the fetch mini and would like to upgrade it to fetch mighty. How do I do this?
Hi Maria!
You can call Sales on 13 19 17 or, you can add the Mighty via Toolbox!
– Leo
I have a Fetch Mini through IINET and have been given a new M605T Fetch set top box. Can I swap them over please.
Hi Bob,
If the Fetch set top box is a retail unit, or branded as being from another reseller, then sadly you won’t be able to use it with your iiNet Fetch service. Only an iiNet-branded Fetch service can be used with an iiNet-supplied Fetch subscription.
– Leo
Hi IInet team,
I have a Fetch Mighty that I purchased at the Good Guys, which is working well. When I signed up to the NBN I went with IInet (despite years of below average ADSL with the same) because there was a free Fetch Mini included in the deal at sign up. I had planned to use this Mini to add onto my mighty and use the Multiroom function.
Only receiving the Mini did I find out that an iiNet supplied Mini can not be used to do Multiroom with a retail purchased Mighty. This was never mentioned by iiNet when selling the deal, although I did find it buried deep in the FAQs on the Fetch website after the fact.
iiNet are now constantly asking why I have not set up the Fetch Mini, but there is no benefit to do so so that I can pay a second subscription that can not record. (Can’t help but feel I was tricked)
My question is, can the IiNet Mini be “unlocked” or should I send it back, or maybe just bin it?
Hi Tim,
This is a very good question and this is something we’d like to help with. Could you please e-mail your details to: iionline@iinet.net.au, describing your situation and we’ll arrange for a staff member to make contact and lend a hand.
– Leo
Lovely to hear about these offers biggest problem is that my iinet service is s…!! Never even got close to 6mbps download speed, barely make 3 which shows in the quality of picture I get. That coupled with the wrong bills and getting marketing phone calls 2 minutes after I plugged in the phone despite asking for a silent number means I am very disappointed with the service so far from iinet.
Hi Anthony,
This isn’t what we want for your connection and there must be a reason why this is occurring. Please e-mail your details to iionline@iinet.net.au and we’ll be able to jump in and lend a hand. If we aren’t able to fix it, we’ll at least be able to tell you what is going on here!
– Leo
Do you have a channel pack which includes cycling eg Tour of France coverage ?
(not interested in football rugby tennis etc)
Hi Allan,
Our BeIN Sports pack covers our addition sports offerings (see: http://www.beinsports.com/au/) and we also have ESPN and ESPN2 via the Vibe package as well.
– Leo
Apparently Eurosport is provided in Canberra but not elsewhere, is this right and can Eurosport be included with Fetch.
Hi Mike,
Eurosport and Eurosport News were available to TransTV (ACT) customers many years ago but this was discontinued in 2014. Sadly, we don’t have access to Eurosport at this time.
– Leo
Hi
What’s the cost of the fetch mini
Hi Laura,
The Fetch Mini is $59.99. You can find out more information, here:
https://www.iinet.net.au/tv/fetch/
– Leo
Hi – I have also been considering this for a while and sounds like a good offer.
Two questions:
1. Is some or all of the streaming content for the additional Fetch channels in HD?
2. Is it possible to not subscribe to the extra channels and effectively only pay for the box with no additional monthly fee? Might then add channel packs later
Thanks
Hi Neo,
Fantastic questions! You can absolutely sign up for simply the base fetch service with no channels attached all the apps for Netflix and Stand will still work A-Okay. If you do decide down the track that you’d like to test the waters with the additional channels, they can be added or removed any time. Some channels sadly don’t offer High definition however those that do, provided your bandwidth allows, will stream automatically in HD.
– Josh
I would like to have a list of movies that you have. A catalogue of the entertainment.
How come I cannot get Closed captions on Fetch tv for English language programs. I know how to switch on the Closed Captions but it only works for non English programs. I have some hearing issues.
IF you get the mighty, are you able to subscribe to Optus Sport?
Hi Luis,
Sadly no – Optus Sport is an Optus-only product. We do have the BeIN sports package as well as the ESPN/ESPN2 channels to view!
– Leo
How much will it cost to upgrade and existing G@ STB to a G3 on existing ii-net NBN
Fantastic question, George! Have you been having issues with the Gen 2 Set top box? We do have upgrade paths to the Fetch Mini Set top box available. However at this stage we are working on an upgrade path to the fetch mighty for a smooth transition. We’d be happy to arrange a call to lend a hand if you’d like to shoot us an email with your availability to iiOnline@iinet.net.au we’ll arrange for someone to get in touch to discuss further.
– Josh
Hi
If I get a Fetch Mighty will it still be of use after the subscription ends?
Hi Michael,
As long as you keep the Fetch service active, the Fetch Mighty will still keep functioning.
– Leo
If I get a Mighty Fetch from you to replace the GenII Fetch box we have currently failing, what differences would there be if I subsequently cancel the $10/mth? We basically only use the box to record free to air programs.
Hi John,
Cheers for taking the time to comment on the article! The main difference will be that the $5 rental charge will no longer be a factor on your monthly invoice as the boxes are purchased outright. The Fetch Mighty also comes with 30 pre-selected included movies each month through the movie box application.
– Josh
Leo I spoke to the staff and said I wanted the same box that recordered the same as I had and paid for iinet staff informed me I would have to pay three to four hundred dollars for a Fetch Mighty again I didn’t think the company should expect customers to pay for the unit over again because it broke and needed to be replaced..
Hi Janene,
Thanks for getting back in touch to update us on your situation. Sorry to hear there’s been some difficulty reaching a conclusion with the set top box. If you would like to shoot us an email to iionline@iinet.net.au with your availability, we’d be more than happy to arrange a call and escalate the matter with the team.
– Josh
Hi,
I have fetch mini box only.
Had sound watch Luther series and now no sound.
Why ?
Have tried other tv shows and movies and sound is okay.
Can anyone please help
Hi Rob!
This is a really odd one, as it sounds like it is affecting one program on one channel only. This suggests that the issue is not with the connection but with Fetch and the program itself. Feel free to e-mail us directly with your details and making sure that you mention your post here, to iionline@iinet.net.au. We’ll then have a staff member from our Fetch team get in touch to help.
– Leo
Can the Wi-Fi function be disabled? I do not want Wi-Fi or Bluetooth signals in my house.
Hi Graeme,
The Fetch Mighty is designed to receive a wireless signal and when configured to connect via ethernet cable to the modem, the wireless is disabled.
– Leo
Just wondering if the $209 set up deal is still active? I’ve been using a Mighty I bought from Internode, and it’s failing – less than 18 months old but Internode only offer 12 months warranty – so I’m in the market for a new one. Cheers!
Hi Adam,
The $209 Fetch Mighty deal has ceased.
– Leo
I am an existing iinet ADSL2 customer who already has a fetch mighty retail unit. When I upgrade to NBN which will be available in 2 months, if I choose a package with the Fetch Mini STB, will that iinet unit be able to connect via my existing Fetch account?
Hi Mark,
Yes, you’ll be able to use the Fetch Mini unit on the existing Fetch account.
– Leo
I have nbn through iinet, and a fetch mighty that a friend gave me which I have not yet set up. Am I able to use the fetch mighty to record free to air tv without subscribing to fetch initially?
Hi Matthew,
Great Question! Fetch services and set-top box user interface will usually need a subscription to function. If you’ve picked up the box from a mate, it’s best to confirm what provider he was using it with. Fetch set-top boxes at the moment are not able to be transferred between providers, so the service will need to be activated with either Fetch directly or through the set-top boxes respective provider.
– Joshy
I already have a fetch mighty and a fetch minni. I am happy with them. I purchased them from you direct.
