    AustralianIT reports that the PC service has been delayed by “three or four days” while Quickflix uploads more titles (the version running on Sony Bravia TVs has already gone live). The eventual aim is to have between 500 and 700 titles on offer.

    It's live, but it's poop - seems they aren't interested in new releases yet. Featured films are currently Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Harry Potter And The Philosopher’s Stone, The Iron Giant and The Muppets Take Manhattan.

    Looks like in 2012 they're going to offer a pay-per-view streaming service. This means you'll simply pay a fee to watch a new release movie. FetchTV/BigPond charge $6 for this, so it'll probably be in the same ballpark.

    Quickflix Adds HBO To WatchNow Streaming

    The appeal of a streaming service such as Quickflix WatchNow depends heavily on offering lots of choices. So the news that it will “soon” offer content from premium US cable channel HBO is a welcome development that might see more people take up the service.

    Quickflix’s announcement mentions HBO titles Entourage, Sex And The City and The Sopranos. It doesn’t include more recent HBO hits such as Game Of Thrones, which suggests there’ll be a lag on content appearing. That’s already the case with movie releases, though Quickflix has said that pay-per-view options will appear later this year.
