Does anyone have it?
I have Foxtel, I am moving house and thinking of t-box instead of Foxtel.
I only have it to watch pies games.
Can anyone let me know what you think of it please?
Thanks |

I got one and I love it. Can watch match replays (available 12 hrs after match completes) and CTV videos at any time I want (once the kids are in bed)
Can subscribe to Foxtel if needed on the morning of the game and you can unsubscribe the following day and it only charges me like $1 on my telstra bill for the 2 days of foxtel with sports package.
Is only SD quality and need about 5mbps so you don't get no freezes or buffering (works well over wifi even though telstra dont support foxtel over wifi as long as you have the speed). If you have cable you should be fine, if adsl2 and not close to exchange (within 1-2km) run speedtest to check you download speeds. _________________ Human behavioural studies suggest people who use a lot of swear words tend to be more honest & trustworthy. |

Had one.
It shift itself and they gave me another.
Took that one back and told TELSTRA to shove if where the sun don't shine
Useless piece of crap.

I got it because fta reception here is rubbish. Had it 3 months and no complaints. Make sure the tech sets it up fully so you don't have to ring Telstra! |

It's pretty good not so sure about live games never used it for that but all the AFL related videos on there as well as being able to rent movies and watch FTA through is pretty decent. We were given that and a T-Hub because they were screwing up our bill and this was a 'thank you' we didn't pay for it but pay for the use of it. _________________ Ðavâgé

I've got one, have had for a while. It's out the back, foxtel is in the front. I bought the unit outright so no rental or ongoing cost. It connects via the wireless and works fine. I don't use it for foxtel channels cos I have that already, have used it for the movies on demand a few times and it worked fine. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

I had two faulty ones when I first bought, the third worked.
It's okay. If I had my time again, I wouldn't get it.
Foxtel on T-box does have the football but it doesn't have all the channels that 'real' Foxtel has. No Walking Dead for starters.
The movies I find are old and it's hardly updated.
I rarely use the T-box anymore as I actually don't watch that much TV. |

Thanks for your help.
Download speed isn't great so I will stick with Foxtel I think. |
