How to convince my Mum to get Austar (pay tv)?

Question

Me, my dad and my little brother all want to get Austar, but Mum keeps saying no, I need arguments to convince her. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

If you want it then pay for it yourself. Austar is a lot of money and your mum would probably rather spend it on more important things like groceries or your education!

Answer 2

HAHAHA! I tried convincing my mum to get austar too!

my brother and two sisters also want pay tv but she says we don't need it. it's just entertainment and entertainment won't do us any good. my uncle has pay tv and we went over to his house one day. my mum saw how good it was and now we have pay tv!

everyone's happy!

Answer 3

I kept arguing with my dad to get it. Then one day when we were at the shops he just signed up for it(platinum). Just keep pressuring her and tell her you'll use it for educational purposes.

Answer 4

You could always go with the educational argument. There are heaps of doco's on Discovery, History, Nat geo, ect. Also there are heaps of things for your little brother to watch to and i'm sure there will be something that your Mum will like. I have seen heaps of ads at the moment where you get the first month free and I think you get every channel for that month. If money is the issue you could look into Select tv, although you don't get as many channels.  Austar is great for when there isn't anything on normal tv and you can always change your plan online whenever you want. Good Luck!

Answer 5

dont get it, its a waste of money (like $100 a month!) im sure your mother would rather have $1200 at the end of the year, and every show gets repeated like 4 times in one day anyway. its c**p, we are getting ours switched off.

Answer 6

I'm guessing she'll not get much of a chance to watch it.

Answer 7

Just tell her that out of the 100's of channels at lest 10 she would like. Pay TV has something for EVEY ONE!  good luck :)
