A source close to Austar has seen fit to send us some (as yet unconfirmed) details of the upcoming HD MyStar service in Australia. It sounds pretty decent…
`Foxtel today have completely revamped their online presence, giving subscribers the ability to remotely manage their account online, as well as sample clips from selected Foxtel programming in full screen.
When my nephew first learnt to balance on his short little legs and wander around, he had an obsession with remote controls. You could think he was quietly resting in the middle of the day, and all of a sudden the TV would go on, the volume would start going up and as you rushed to check whether your house was haunted, you’d find him there pushing buttons. Well, Foxtel must have had him in mind when they came up with the idea for the Mini-Mote – a smaller remote dedicated to browsing through the children’s channels on Foxtel.
Not content to sit back and watch TiVo take all the headlines in the PVR department, Foxtel snuck out a quick one-two at the Telstra Investor’s Day last week regarding their upcoming IPTV offering and a service called iQ2Go.
The IPTV service, which uses the currently disabled ethernet jack on the back of the iQ2 box, will let users download video on demand over the internet, and will be launched in the first half of next year. Of course, we’ve known that IPTV was coming to Foxtel sooner rather than later (why put an ethernet port in the back if you’re not going to use it?), but this is the first definitive timeframe we’ve heard.
The service will be available to all iQ2 subscribers, but at the moment they haven’t worked out any agreements to have content unmetered, meaning you’ll probably end up paying for the content twice.
But the more exciting news was the announcement of the iQ2Go device, which will let you take programs stored on your iQ and play them back on a portable device.
