Finally, we’ll all be able to tell when the show ‘actually’ ends and not be fooled by a BS estimate provided by the networks. More »
Remember that Windows-only desktop gadget from Foxtel that let you check the program guide? Well, there’s now a Mac friendly version. More »
The love-in between Microsoft and Foxtel – which previously brought us the Foxtel on Xbox announcement plus the live telecast of Microsoft’s E3 keynote on Fox8 – has just been reaffirmed, with Foxtel launching a TV Guide gadget for Windows PCs. More »
Those guys at IceTV seem to love Christmas time – on top of selling a whole heap of PVRs cheap the other week, they’re now letting current customers (either paid, free trial or returning) to renew their IceTv subscription for just $49, which is about half price (and works out at less than $1 a week). You’ll need to be one of the first 500 customers to enter the code: “santascoming” when you select the “top up my existing account” option. So if you’re an IceTV user, either for your PVR or your computer, make sure you get in fast to save some dollars this Xmas…
With only 24 more sleeps until Christmas, I guess it makes a lot of sense for companies to start offering discounts. IceTV today joined the discount party, offering some pretty decent savings through their online store, including up to $200 off the top of the line Beyonwiz PVR with a bonus 12 month subscription to the IceTV EPG. You can also pick up a Media Center PC from $399, or save $50 on a HDTV tuner for your PC or Mac. Check out the IceTV store for all the available discounts and remember that if you order by December 15, you’ll get everything delivered in time for Christmas.
For the multitude of people out there who use IceTV as their EPG of choice, you’ll be happy to know that you can now network your watching opinions through Facebook. By downloading the IceTV Facebook App, you can rate TV shows, comment, see what TV shows are popular among your friends, what shows are in your schedule to record and more.
The software’s in Beta at the moment, and they’ve got a forum page dedicated to getting feedback on the Facebook App. But if this sounds like something you could use, let us know how it goes in comments.
Why on earth is this still going on? I thought it was finished last year.
Here’s an idea Channel 9: Pull your fucking head out of your ass and stop wasting precious resources trying to screw over IceTV in the courts, and instead focus that money on some more quality programming.
According to the IceTV blog: Chief Justice Black, Justice Lindgren, Justice Sackville have together ruled against IceTV and the Federal Court’s previous judgment in the case originally brought against IceTV in May 2006, by the Nine Network regarding an alleged breach of Nine’s copyright.
Forgive my cynicism, but it’s almost like these judges must want this to just keep going on so they can collect their million dollar salaries and buy themselves a third 72-foot yacht each.
