Foxtel gets official with quad-tuner iQ2 HD DVR


Foxtel's HD+ services may have launched a few days back in Australia, but that's not stopping OpenTV from pushing out a release trumpeting the arrival of the iQ2. As you could likely guess, the set-top-box is powered by OpenTV's Core2 middleware, but frankly, that's not the part we're interested in. Merely hearing the words "quad-tuner" just gets our juices flowing, and with nearly "double the recordable capacity" of the current Foxtel iQ, we'd say it's a surefire winner for Aussies looking to delve into the beautiful world of high-definition.

OpenTV gets inside 100 million set-top-boxes and TVs


For those unfamiliar with OpenTV, it's best known for its interactivity software that sits within a whole slew of DVRs on the market and in homes today. Recently, the company passed the rather impressive 100 million milestone, as its technology has been integrated into "more digital set-top boxes and televisions than any of its competitors" since deployment began in 1997. It goes on to boast about its involvement with enabling DISH Network customers to complete polls and play interactive games, and while we'd assume the next hundred million will come a bit quicker than the first, we'll certainly pause and dole out kudos for making it this far.
