[AusNOG] Choice says using Netflix is NOT Piracy

Tue Sep 9 11:25:55 EST 2014

Hi Ben,

Unless something massive changed with IQ, it's one way sat.

If I'm wrong and know more than I, I'd love to hear from you -just to sayisfy my own curiosity.

The new pricing goes live november 3. In anticipation for it they halved
prices this week just past (ended last night midnight.)

I have signed up for said service to see if its worth the $24 a month. Thus
far, with the IQ thing, its not "bad". however the on demand stuff requied
huge load times over slow ADSL. (cant they use the sat link since it seems
2-way).

To answer you question, everyone gets moved onto new pricing with the new
IQ box on november 3.

New channels, (like 50 new ones). Showtime is getting moved to its own
"game of thrones tax" group.

theres a giz article on it if you can google.
