Free to air is no longer viable. Having the option to watch movies even if they are not current without purchasing hard copies has finally come of age. I have had no issues and am enjoying the experience. Best thing would be not having to look to see what time my program comes on.

This Roku based device is easy to connect & set up & is quite intuitive to operate. An ideal addition to a non smart TV as it provides easy access to Foxtel, Netflix & regular TV playback channels. Streaming is fast & efficient with decent NBN & wi fi connection. Picture quality is good. We got this free when we renewed our Telstra bundle for NBN, so quite happy with that deal. That said, if paying for it the quoted price of $192 is not good value, as it should be cheaper. Reliable so far after 6 months use, so I'm pleased with the new Telstra TV.

Received our Telstra TV box one week ago, the streaming is very slow and glitchy. Unplugged the box to set up a new tv unit and the HDMI entry point came loose so now he box doesn’t work. Telstra is insisting we buy a new box for $192, because that is their “process”. Back to Apple TV.

Telstra Roku streaming of Foxtel next useless. Rewind 30 minutes and you lose picture. Cannot record, some AFL games have ads during play...very limited service with no Essentials basic package like Foxtel. Rewind is blind, cannot see where you are up to.
If Netflix can provide excellent streaming service why can't useless TELSTRA ....Just go to foxtel.

$99 per month for Internet and Telstra tv. What a joke this service is constantly rebuffering and lagging, the bells and whistles that apparently come with it ..Foxtel, Netflix etc you still have to pay for and the set up is painful. The afl app doesn't mean you can watch live footy either.. You have to go through the torture of signing up whilst on dodgy crappy internet only having to fork out another $40 to Foxtel to watch the footy.
If you can call it 'watching'. Most of the time it was frozen and buffering with pixelated image and not keeping up with live tv AT ALL. Netflix also comes out with a dodgy picture. Painfully slow and frustrating.
Hey Telstra maybe check to which areas have the correct coverage to run your piece of crap.

Although free with my internet plan, it is just very poor. Can't remove unwanted channels on free to air. Free to air slow to load, freezes, program info always behind time. Might make a good paper weight though. Just a frustrating experience in this day and age of technology. Just don't bother with it.

I love it, easy to navigate, quick, I have 2 the older model and the most recent. Both great the new one is faster but the unit is a little larger. I prefer the lay out over Apple TV. Netflix and your tubes lay out is easier to use on this and better then Apple TV. I love big pond tv because I can watch movies and it just gets billed to my account for me to pay at the end of the month.

I find this product very awkward to navigate. I can’t delete unwanted channels. It is very slow to respond to commands and seems to freeze regularly.It doesn’t rewind or pause live tv
I love the access to all the apps.
A lot of negatives but I’m sort of getting used to it

If included for free in a Telstra plan, this is a pretty decent way to get Netflix, ABC iVew, tenplay, etc on to a TV. It is essentially a slightly downgraded Roku box so it works surprisingly well. However, the box costs almost $200 outright, and for non-Telstra users a lot of features are deactivated for no reason. At that price, most people would be better off with an Apple TV (similar price), Nvidia Shield (slightly more) or Chromecast (much less) - the alternatives don't support TV recording but run Netflix/YouTube/Stan/etc, have more features (except the Chromecast) and don't stop working if the internet isn't coming through Telstra.

Signed up to ta new NBN home bundle - main objective was better cheaper plan than my old obsolete one. Said I had no interest in Telstra TV, but it was included anyway and the box eventually came in the mail. Looks like to connect it I have to bypass my very capable Panasonic hard disk recorder and watch free to air via the Telstra TV box through HDMI - so I totally lose my recorder functionality. Or do I loop the antenna through the recorder and then to the telstra box instead of the TV? Looks far too difficult and I don't think the rest of the family will cope with the complication. offered to send it back, but Telstra didn't want it.

What a waste of money.
Can't delete unwanted channels.
Can't mute.
Guide is always out of timing.
What a piece of crap.
Telstra you should be ashamed to release such a piece of crap.
At least the old tbox worked much better.
What a waste of money.

Slow, bad picture quality, ridiculously slow to connect to free to air TV. Keeps loading and repeating in the middle of advertisements, no live TV functionality - can't record pause or rewind live TV. In hindsight I wish I had signed up with Dodo and Fetch TV instead, which is far superior.

No technician has completed the cable job. It has been 2 weeks with bricks being cut out of the house as requested by him. Their liars, they have re scedulded 4 'technicians' now and they do not problem solve or assist..go to vodafone

Their a joke would not recommend to a dog

Telstra tv gives you quite a few options from watching live tv on the channel apps or buying a newly released movie online to watch, although it does take up quite a fair bit of your internet its good to put the news on and have it going on live stream,

I have the outdated Telstra tv but that doesn't matter. I find that this device is excellent for those that don't have a smart tv and aren't able to access Netflix, YouTube and other apps. It's quick and easy to set up and once it's done it's done
I haven't really used it much since buying a smart tv but definitely recommend.

Don’t have enough options. We want to be able to add to a viewing list, we want a viewing history, not able to record either. Quality of recording is intermittent. Don’t understand question about storage space if we’re not able to record programs. iview doesn’t give you expiry date so you have no idea how long it is available for watching
