Foxtel has finally expanded the reach of its Foxtel Go app beyond iOS, but rather than targeting Android generally, it has released the app only for Samsung devices.
Foxtel and Samsung have teamed up to supply a new line of television sets with built-in Foxtel hardware and we have one thing to say: it’s about time. Obviously not everyone in Australia uses Foxtel, nor does everyone even live in supported areas. However, there’s no harm in including a little extra functionality for those that do. Also, the new partnership shouldn’t add anything to the cost of making the TVs, as everything will be streamed over-the-web to Samsung’s internet-capable Smart TVs.
Amidst a flurry of legal battles and cries of copyright infringement Paramount movies are set to become available for rental over YouTube for users in the US and Canada. While video streaming services are hardly a new thing in North America this is still another example of society’s gradual but inexorable shift towards digital downloadable media.
The Australian Television market looks like it may be in line for one of the great innovations in internet TV, Hulu. Of course, there are other great internet TV innovations, like NetFlix (US only), Fetch TV, BitTorrent, YouTube and others, but in this post we're going to focus on Hulu as it is unfamiliar to many Australian users, and it is brilliant.
