Windows 7 Media Center now natively supports Aust EPG. I was TOTALLY suprised by this after installing Windows 7 Beta last week.

Now I’m extra glad i signed up for icetv (www.icetv.com.au) has a ton more features than the supposed freeview. i also got a yearly deal for half price at the time!

Hmm, can anyone say Ch7 TiVo. So are we supposed to guess when something is on. I am ready to give up on Foxtel (4min add breaks my a$%e) but if I don’t know what’s on I may as well stay with what I know. Why do they think they can rip us off here compared to rest of the world.

Blech. At this rate, the TV networks may as well just start donating cash to bittorrent trackers.

Here's a pro-tip to the business dim-bulb types at Freeview. Everyone else, whom I assume isn't some sort of brain damaged mouth breather like the please excuse the caps. THE MORE WAYS PEOPLE HAVE OF FINDING OUT ABOUT YOUR PRODUCT, THE MORE LIKELY THEY ARE TO USE IT. OTHERWISE THEY WILL JUST GO BACK TO GETTING IT ALL FROM THE INTERNET, WITHOUT HAVING TO WAIT FOR YOU TO 'GET AROUND' TO AIRING SHOWS THE REST OF THE WORLD SAW LAST YEAR.

There, that wasn't so bad was it. I bet the Freeview execs even went to business school and still didn't learn that.

What a way to screw over people that don’t even use Set Top Boxes and have it built into the TV itself. Fingers crossed Samsung released a firmware patch.
