For the past couple of days I have been able to use the new Telstra TV , a streaming player which will be released and available for Telstra customers from the 27th October.
The Telstra TV is an easy to use streaming player that allows Telstra home broadband customers to watch the most popular streaming services, rent the latest blockbuster films from BigPond Movies and catch up on their favourite TV shows on their compatible TV through the stations catch up services.
Telstra TV provides access to services including apps for Presto and Netflix, as well as a number of television catch up services including SBS on Demand, PLUS7 and 9JumpIn with Stan arriving in November.
