I'm happy with normal broadcasts....
Until this monopoly is broken, Australia is going to continue to lag behind the rest of the developed world in terms of entertainment at least....]]>May 2nd 2008 3:35AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/02/australias-foxtel-preps-hd-service-iq2-hd-stb-for-june-launch/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/02/australias-foxtel-preps-hd-service-iq2-hd-stb-for-june-launch/Now they're going to sell HD at an even higher cost to Joe Consumer, who will lap it up without complaint, who will be paying so much each month that it would fund a replacement 50" TV every 3 years.
And this from a company that has now intruduced commercials onto pay TV using the rationale that it would "...help to keep the costs down"!

Well done, Foxtel. More power to your business model that rakes in the dosh.
Australians, you're little better than sheep.]]>May 2nd 2008 6:46AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/02/australias-foxtel-preps-hd-service-iq2-hd-stb-for-june-launch/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/02/australias-foxtel-preps-hd-service-iq2-hd-stb-for-june-launch/May 2nd 2008 7:37PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/02/australias-foxtel-preps-hd-service-iq2-hd-stb-for-june-launch/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/02/australias-foxtel-preps-hd-service-iq2-hd-stb-for-june-launch/brian]]>May 19th 2008 6:03PM
