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

If you have an older "dumb tv" this box works well, if you have a newer smart tv, no real benefit at all.

Pro's, small, easy to set up, quick on our NBN connection with a very clear picture, user friendly interface.

Con's. nothing really, it pretty much does what it says

My father in law recently got the whole set up for his new house and he was taken advantage of a little.. we bought all new smart TV and the guy on the phone was adamant the Telstra TV addition was still needed...

It’s not. Foxtel and Netflix etc are all
Built into the TV.. so there’s now a box just sitting there! a little disappointing as their internet service is great but being told you NEED this is a little false.

We eagerly set up our new Telsra TV box only to find it doesnt offer anything our Tbox did. We Cant watch free to air TV or record programs! #usless piece of junk. Packed it up and reinstated our Tbox. Pretty disappointed. Dont understand why Telstra changed to a box that offer nothing?

Although the TELSTRA TV box works great I thought that they were sending me an actual TV and was somewhat disappointed when all I got was a small black box! TELSTRA has taken more than four days to connect our FOXTELL even though they said it would only take 48 hours!

Doesn't work on my samsung tv. It lags which makes watching shows impossible. Good thing it was free because it is useless. Might be ok if it wasn't for the lagging. 12345678910......
That's all I have to say so this better be over 50 now. Blah blah blah blah happy?

The Telstra TV is Free in your Internet plan. It's reliable as it's only a smart box. I have FoxSports and Foxtel Now subscriptions so I use it a fair bit to watch Sports Live. The Video Quality is high, it can stream videos from my PC and it has a nice design to it. It is a Roku Device from Telstra that is great in my opinion.

It is clunky, lags and isn't intuitive at all.
I wasn't a fan of tbox but even it was far superior to this.
Even an el cheapo modern TV has similar features better executed than this junk.
Captions keep turning on, guide returns to the wrong time, very limited number of functions accessed by remote buttons.
I would have asked for my money back if I had paid for it.

I was sent one of these as a "favour" by Telstra due to them not supporting the T Box any more. I cannot watch FTA TV via the unit. I cannot record on this unit. The interface is clunky and the it is as slow as treacle
It's a good thing Telstra provided this for free as the only thing it's good for is using as a doorstop

Told in blep that peoples needs are changing and this is in line with that desire ...its not cant find channels cant record clunky, slow directs you to netfliks or shows whats on foxtel they don't want you to fast forward thru adds so stopped the service. No one to vent your anger at... told guy at Telstra but he does not use it so not interested I hate it and am going if possible go back to a better and older system stinks.

• Whole experience is incredibly laggy (I'm on Telstra Cable with Speed Boost)
• Free to air navigation is terrible and not intuitive. Actually, the whole UI is woeful.
• On-Demand and Free content are all mixed in together, so unless you're subscribed to everything you're going to continually head down dead-ends.
• Can't remove the Bigpond Movies app.
• Can't set the device to hide content for services you're not subscribed to.

The interface with combined free-to-air tv and on-demand tv is a great idea and the layout of the apps are beautifully designed. However there are no instructions on how to access and switch between the two modes of television, and how to select channels in free tv. Furthermore it has trouble loading free-to-air tv; this takes forever and by then we give up to watch netflix instead because we have missed the show we originally wanted to watch.
No issues with the storage space yet as we haven't storaged anything yet nor have we recorded anything yet.

Not able to record free to air / not able to pause or rewind free to air / unable to choose channel directly on remote / sound lags when using catch up tv - looks like an old spaghetti western / pain to get to anything directly / images appear fuzzy on many shows

There is a need to constantly monitor the volume.with the the tv remote as it fluctuates constantly. It has an annoying function which asks if you are still viewing. If you are not quick enough to respond, the program will close. A bit of refinement required. Apple TV far superior.

The good: Runs the major apps like Netflix, Stan, Youtube etc. Generally reliable and easy to navigate, even for kids.

The bad: Freezes at times and requires rebooting. Cannot add other apps outside what it offers. Telstra TV movies are pretty expensive and limited range available (no discount for Telstra broadband customers).

I am very dissappointed in the performance of the unit. I have an apple TV that is easy to use and navigate to find shows. Reviews of the Roku unit overseas are very good but Telstra has dumbed downed the apps on their unit to the state where they are almost un-useable . The Telstra TV was easy to set up so it might be appropriate to those who are not tech savvy and don’t expect much.
