[AusNOG] Here we go - Presto is now live.

[Nick Stallman]

This is the major issue, and which is why Netflix will be so important 
to watch since they are the most neutral service.
It could just be that they get zero content from channel 7 and 9 though.

I noticed FetchTV was losing the Discovery set of channels as of Feb 1.
Presto doesn't seem to have any Discovery content either.
Does anyone know what is going on there? Did one of these new players 
get exclusivity?
