This is the major issue, and which is why Netflix will be so
important to watch since they are the most neutral service.<br>
It could just be that they get zero content from channel 7 and 9
though.<br>
<br>
I noticed FetchTV was losing the Discovery set of channels as of Feb
1.<br>
Presto doesn't seem to have any Discovery content either.<br>
Does anyone know what is going on there? Did one of these new
players get exclusivity?<div><div class="h5"><br>

<div>The reason - the programming (or lack thereof) - I found
there were more things that I'd want to watch that aren't on
this service than things that are on this service. Maybe
they'll add more stuff (and broaden what's available) over
time - but I don't see that each channel selling online access
to their own content on their own paid service being
particularly valuable. I'd much rather pay for a service that
takes contents from multiple channels/networks and makes it
all available to me in one place.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It's widely acknowledged by everyone BUT the content owners
that the reason that people pirate their content is that they
make it so damned difficult to access that it's easier to
pirate it than jump through the hoops of acquiring it
legally. In my mind, at this stage, this service doesn't fix
that unless all you're interested in is content that
Fox/Channel 7 have rights to.</div>

<div>I've just signed up to give it a test. I love one
question on the signup "I don't want my information
passed to our Foxtel Partners (Telstra and News Ltd)." -
Love it - TICK!</div>

One note at the bottom of the news article was
interesting: "The joint venture between Foxtel and Channel
7 is still awaiting regulatory approval via the ACCC."
Waiting approval but launched?
