Quickflix is like Netflix for Australians, launches next month

[rec]

Quickflix already has a DVD-by-post service, but on the 10th of November Quickflix will launch its digital distribution platform on PC and Mac. It's already available if you have a "smart" Sony Bravia TV.

For $15 per month you get unlimited access - as many movies as you can handle. Or as many movies as your internet plan's data allowance can handle.

Will they do tv shows as well?

[Aegis]

sweet i haz one o those TVs.

and Feary - the BROWSE TV menu item on their site says yes

[feary]

Awesome, time to go buy a smart bravia

[Aegis]

just need ethernet wiring in the house now :/

also need 'node to mirror this shit

[Lothar]

They (edit Node) wont likely do this(edit unmeter quickflix) as it competes with their Fetch TV service and its VOD capabilities unless there is some dosh in it for them .

[Aegis]

wont likely do what? the thing that the OP is stating that they ARE doing??

Ahh nvm, chips clarified you were talking about 'node. But then, in theory, iView also competes with FetchTV.

[ResLo]

iview doesn't compete with FetchTV cause FetchTV is shit and ivew is not.

[rec]

Just looking at FetchTV - anything that requires a propriety set-top box for on-demand video is a piece of shit.

[ResLo]

Even ignoring the box the channels available are shit.

[Lothar]

But for how much the service costs for the STB which has 2 (if not 3 I cant recall) FTA tuners in it that can record to its 1TB drive is good for what it is.

Looked closer into Quickflix it appears that the DVD's / TV shows get physically delivered to you - too much hastle. Would much rather a service online of which I can dl what I want.

So you didn't read the first post at all then?

[Lothar]

No

[feary]
