Fetchtv The Future Of TV Now Available To All IiNet Customers

Online, October 28, 2010 (Newswire.com) - iiNet launches fetchtv1, a streamlined version of FetchTV available to all customers
$99 set-up fee removed for new FetchTV subscriptions

Australia's largest broadband competitor, iiNet, today launched fetchtv 1, a streamlined version of FetchTV that is available to all iiNet broadband customers, regardless of broadband speed.

Like iiNet's market-leading fetchtv 2 service, fetchtv 1 customers get access to the latest release movies from the most comprehensive selection of major Hollywood studios in Australia, access to all local digital free to air channels, and an IPTV set top box with one terabyte of storage.

"iiNet fetchtv 1 means all our customers can now access movies on demand and quota-free. Coupled with Fetchtv's state-of-the-art set top box, we think this makes compelling value for only $14.95 a month," said iiNet's Chief Technology Officer, Greg Bader.

"With three digital tuners and one terabyte of storage, not only is it possible to record two free-to-air TV channels while watching a third, there's enough memory to store hours of your favourite shows."

iiNet fetchtv 1 customers can access the MoviePlex service, which has a huge array of the latest releases and library movies from the major Hollywood and independent studios.

"Movieplex brings the video store to your lounge room, with the added bonus that you get to keep new releases for 48 hours. You can pause, rewind, fast forward, even stop and come back to it later. It's completely up to you. Best of all you'll never pay late fees again," said Bader.

To coincide with the launch of iiNet fetchtv 1, iiNet has waived the $99 set up fee for all new fetchtv subscriptions. For a monthly subscription of $14.95 (fetchtv1), or $29.95 (fetchtv2) iiNet customers can join the home entertainment revolution.
