Shocking environmental attitude by Telstra!

published

Shame on Telstra for asking customers, when cancelling this service, to dump their TV app and associated NBN apps, to end up in landfill and further poison our environment! Not only that, but I was also charged a hefty sum for cancellation of this service!

Be careful not to breathe too closely to the remote. You might accidentally change channels.

Remote has bipolar.
Do not like remote Sam I am, do not like it no no no. Do not like how when I look at you, that you feel the need to change my show.

Quality of sound on Telstra TV3

published

We find it hard to pick up what is being said on Netflix shows through Telstratv3. Bought a sound bar but that made no difference so wondering if others have had similar problems

Absolutely rubbish, only have it as locked into a contract. Full of glitches, always resetting it trying to get it to go

published

Full of glitches, normal free to air tv barely works due to the glitches. Always resetting and starting again. Telstra is terrible for service, will never be using them again.

This is a negative 5. a pain in the neck

published

This is a negative 5 ...it is a pain in the neck. It never hooks up ever first go .. have to pull plug from unit every time (ok90%) but it is so annoyingly unreliable. Either Netflix, movies and other series and features never load up.or it's live tv that doesn't andvif tv does it comes up no program on every station or you can't scroll to next program.. it's like having a tv back in the 80's with no remote and having to get up to change the station but it's one of those tv's in the year 2020 it's a killer. Hate is not a strong enough word.

A pond without Disney

published

Australia's biggest network and the much hyped Telstra Tv has some great features but is slow to keep up- if you want Disney you will have to pay Telstra for all Disney shows. There are better options like Apple TV it chrome cast. Do your research

Worth it

Definetly worth it, My favourite thing about it is that if you change providers you can still use the Telstra tv...better than some other providers I'll continue using it x

Worth getting!!

published

I don’t like normal tv so having the Telstra tv is amazing, it’s got every app you need from Netflix to Foxtel to 10 play, you can watch live tv and everything is in one spot, great not having to switch remotes every time you want to watch something different. I haven’t tried out the record yet but navigating is really easy, easy to use, it’s great.

Bad quality product

published

I received a Telstra TV 3 system two months ago. It works about two days out of every three. It may improve one day but it is painfully unreliable now.

Not worth having

published

Not much more than a gimmick. Have used for last couple of months and now back in the box,. Found it was often laggy and sometimes not responsive. Generally works well with apps such as Stan and Netflix, but is extremely poor with live TV. On live TV it often fails to recognise voice commands, is unstable and does not provide functions that are often used on the normal TV remote. Yes, it does work...... but it's not worth it. The normal TV remove might need a couple of more button presses but works more reliably. Biggest frustration and let down was with live TV functionality. Best feature was voice command - when it worked.

Not reliable

published

Telstra needs to look into the quality control of this product. It feels like they just made something and put it out there into the market without any testing. I guess I'm not the only one having problems with the reliability.

Great when it works (Telstra TV 3)

published

Love the functionality, but hate the unreliability of this device. I’m onto my second remote and it is also starting to fail. Have to constantly reset the device as it just freezes up (particularly switching to live TV). Live TV also blurs during fast movement. So frustrating! Best not to waste your money.

Garbage product. Don’t buy

I bought this product for mother’s day, she was happy until the “smart” tv box stopped responding and just couldn’t play anything without switching off. If I could’ve I would have got one from Ebay

Love this product. Can't live without it

published

The products features are excellent. It performs really well. It is really reliable.
I love that I can pause live TV and having a dedicated Netflix button on the remote is great to quickly change from the TV to Netflix. It is easy to navigate

Finally upgraded to streaming and the Telstra TV is great. It was easy to install and now I have access to Netflex, Stan, You Tube, Free to Air shows, it's fabulous. And it is simple and easy to use. Thank you Telstra.

They told me we needed it...and they were right!!

published

This slimline little piece of tech has added a new dimension to our TV experience. Easy to set up (and reconnect due to poor NBN) it has everything from your regular TV shows, to Netflix, to On Demand and my personal favourite at the minute, hours and hours of You Tube! I do find Live TV a bit clunky to scroll through sometimes and to be honest have only scratched the surface of what is actually capable of. I would definitely recommend this unit to anyone wanting to enhance their TV experience.

This box is designed to be constantly on and as expected it is Telstra central. By central I refer to it advertising tv shows or movies you pay telstra extra for. The remote has dedicated netflix and foxtel buttons. If it wasn't part of the telstra package I would have returned it. Modern smart tvs offer better options than this box.
