Has anyone tried this service? the price works out as $4 or $5 NZ



HOOQ is the brainchild of a convergence among key players in the entertainment and telecommunications industry. Powered by Singtel, Sony Pictures Television (SPT), and Warner Bros. Entertainment, it is a direct competitor of on-demand media streaming pioneer Netflix.
At launch, HOOQ will offer 10,000 stories – movies and TV series – ranging from Hollywood’s hottest flicks to classic Filipino favorites, with local content from Philippine entertainment giants ABS-CBN, GMA, Regal Entertainment, and Viva Communications Inc.
HOOQ will be available for download on any smart device, which includes computers, smartphones and tablets.
Legit and unlimited entertainment
HOOQ users may download and keep up to five movies in their HOOQ library, and they can change these movies “…an unlimited number of times,” HOOQ CEO Peter Bithos said.
But how affordable is the subscription to HOOQ?
“[So] we’ll have 20, 30 times the content of anybody else, in a customer experience that is custom-built for the emerging market customer, for the local Filipino, and we’re going to launch it here first in the Philippines. Unlimited subscription service, watch all you want for one simple price,” Bithos said during HOOQ’s Thursday night press launch.
“For P199 a month, you get the movies that you want, the television series that you want, and we’ll be launching it very soon,” Bithos said. Globe will soon be offering HOOQ as a bundled service with its GoSURF and Tattoo broadband plans.

I used Hola in Firefox and set country to Philippines to access the website. But as with other services that are geo restricted the usual vpn and dns trickery should be able to get it working.
