FetchTV picks Orca Interactive for IPTV delivery

iiNet has launched its long-awaited IPTV service based on resale of FetchTV and branded fetchtv 2, soon to be followed by fetchtv 1.

iiNet has revealed that FetchTV will be providing the content for its long-awaited IPTV service.

Optus is partnering with wholesale IPTV service provider, FetchTV to jointly develop a converged IPTV service that will be available over is fixed broadband network and on smartphones and tablet devices.

Ten months after it kicked off a trial of the service and almost a year after it was launched by rival iiNet, national broadband provider Internode has launched the FetchTV internet video service on its network, pricing the offering at very similar rates to those offered by iiNet.

Internode has formally launched its version of the FetchTV IPTV service offering video-on-demand, time-shifted television viewing and a range of TV channels. The launch coincides with a redesign of the FetchTV user interface

The fetchtv IPTV service is now available from another Australian ISP. Westnet has announced it will offer the service to its customers as an add-on.

iiNet has reduced the minimum contract for its fetchtv IPTV service and added a new range of free content.

Internode has reduced prices for its fetchTV IPTV service by one third, just two days after the launch of the rival IPTV service from Quickflix.

Twenny bux a month for iiNet's IPTV and digital TV PVR service: cheap compared to Foxtel, but there are some high upfront costs.
