[AusNOG] FetchTV + Netflix

[Ross Annetts]

Hopefully ISP's start supporting more than one fetchtv box per 
connection. Looked into this with Optus recently and the only option to 
get an additional fetchtv box was to have one through Optus (packaged 
and unmetered) and another one with subscription direct with fetchtv 
(additional monthly fee and metered).

Regards,
Ross
