1:13PM Nick Broughall | I just received confirmation that the ABC iView service for your PS3 coming later this year will be unmetered on Internode. I’ve put the question to iiNet as well, but they’re yet to come back to me. Although realistically, if Internode can do unmetered PS3 iView, iiNet probably will too…

11:29AM Nick Broughall | We’re all about the iView love here at Giz, but sometimes you just want something more than ABC programming on demand. Something like Hulu. But if you’ve ever tried to access the video on demand service, you’ve probably gotten a big fat rejection notice on your screen based on where you live. Gus over at Lifehacker’s put together a really good piece on why you can’t access all that free US TV programming, as well as ways that you can’t work around it. Definitely worth a read.

11:17AM Nick Broughall | Here’s yet another reason why the ABC kicks the commercial networks’ backsides when it comes to getting their audience – they’re launching a second kid’s channel on iView.
