Australia’s free digital television service, Freeview has today launched a new app called Freeview FV that will deliver free-to-air [FTA] content on the one platform. The app will deliver streaming from 16 channels, along with playing catch-up content for users to watch for free from when and where they want.
A joint venture between FairFax and Channel Nine injected $100 million into Stan, an Aussie streaming service that was only just an idea, not one piece of tech had been created.
Netflix has come out swinging at those who use proxy servers and virtual private networks (VPNs) in order to gain access to overseas catalogues in order to watch content that is unavailable on their own local platform, a practice that gets Netflix into trouble with television and movie studios and distributors.
