When Foxtel launched their iQ2 box back in 2008, the HD PVR had an Ethernet port on the back that the PayTV network promised would be unlocked in the future.

One of the concerns with 3DTV in Australia is actually getting the content onto your expensive new television. It’s not enough to just watch a handful of animated Blu-ray films and Avatar over and over again, is it?
