Australia’s third largest ISP announced its partnership with
FetchTV, confirming it will be the first ISP to deliver the world-class digital TV service directly to Australian lounge rooms over an iiNet customer’s ADSL2+ broadband connection.
The partnership means iiNet customers will soon be able to access Free-to-Air digital channels, a range of subscription channels, a PVR and an Electronic Program Guide; all completely quota-free as part of the iiNet Freezone.
On top of all that, the FetchTV service offers unmetered VOD content with a basic subscription. The VOD content includes a continuously updated library of movies, TV shows, documentaries, kid’s programs and more. The service also offers Pay-Per-View new release movies - ready for instant viewing.
Truly the icing on the cake, iiNet’s FetchTV offering includes market leading features including 3D TV capability, in-built single and multi player games, access to a selection of social networking web applications and even the ability to receive messages regarding your iiNet services to your TV screen via the set-top box – all for a very low monthly cost.
iiNet will now offer customers broadband, phone and TV from a single provider, with all their communication and entertainment services included on one convenient monthly bill.
Trials are set to take place over the next month or so, iiNet’s TV service will be available to customers shortly thereafter.
