Best way to watch TV

published

This is a fantastic unit. I am very satisfied with the product. Unit is very reliable with no drop outs, provided your WIFI connection is good. Telstra TV offers a great range of television programs for free and if you want you can subscribe to different apps if you want movies or something specific. The best function is that if you miss an episode of your favorite program you can catch it back up. My personal favorite is the NRL and AFL apps. I never miss a game. The unit comes as part of your package with Telstra.

Remote a dud!

published

I was amazed with the voice control on my TelstraTV3 remote, until it started playing up. Then other buttons started playing up. Three weeks later my remote totally froze. After contacting Telstra, l was informed the new remotes have a bug in them that the manufacturer, Roku, have not fixed as yet. I will be sent a new modified remote (no fancy extras) in 3 to 5 working days, so can only watch free tv till then.
My opinion is, the manufacturer has tried to put too much into one small remote and hence we have serious issues with it. Has anyone else had similar problems with the new fancy remote?

Does the job

It’s a good product however it sometimes buffers and just from region to region. It’s sometimes pixelated on screen which can be frustrating if trying to read something of importance

Could be better

published

I live in a unit where there is no access to a Foxtel Dish and can't have one installed because of Body Corporate issues. I therefor required a Telstra TV Box so as to be able to watch Foxtel and at the same time be able to access Live TV and the Live Netball App. Whilst the latter pleases me, the reliability of the Box does not. It often has to be unplugged and restarted due to glitches in the system. It is not the WiFi causing the glitches as other appliances are continuing to work perfectly. The sound is poor when working via an App and is twice as loud on Live TV. I find the Telstra TV Box very frustrating and believe that there needs to be an upgrading of the system. I would not recommend Telstra TV anyone.

Unreliable. Just like their NBN service

published

I have had the Telstra TV for over a month now and whilst I do love the concept it constantly need to be unplugged and plugged back in a again. Live TV freezes daily. Live TV looses sound and pixelates. Apps are extremely slow to load, and sometimes the preview (screen grab/icon) does not match the program. Youtube (which was the main motivation for getting the Telstra TV) run laggy and jumpy. Our internet spped is over 30mbps, so it's the Telstra TV which struggles to process HD clips.

A real life Turd ornament for your lounge room. Every house should have one.

published

This one of the worst services on offer. There are very limited ‘apps’ you can activate on this 250g plastic Turd ornament. The only other thing bland enough to compare Telstra TV to is a bag of plain flour, but even flour is useful.
Slow, clunky and useless.
A true monument to Telstra inability to understand user experience.

Utter Crap!

published

Received this when we upgraded to NBN. On the surface it looks great, but when you try to watch anything, it buffers, or you get no sound, or ...and here’s the hilarious bit... it says it cannot connect to the internet... I got sick of the buffering and the grainy picture while watching a movie on Amazon Prime, so I stopped the device, turned on the PS4 and the movie loaded with a clear picture and no more trouble!
