Mobile Foxtel Now Available On iPhone

First Look At Foxtel Downloads
October 1st, 2009 at 2:02 PMAccording to the Foxtel Download help the Mac isn’t supported because “the Mac operating system doesn’t support Digital Rights Management (DRM)” – obviously untrue – it’s poorly worded because what they later say “If DRM is supported for Windows Media Player on Mac OS in the future, then we can begin to plan to offer the service to Mac users” – what they omit here is that, of course, there actually is no Windows Media Player for OS X so they don’t intend to support it at all…
I’m trying to run it with XP on VMWare but the app won’t register my “computer” with Foxtel, wondering if they actually tested this on a virtual machine at all – “However you can use FOXTEL Download on Apple Macs running a full Windows emulator”
Foxtel Readies New Channels, Download Services
September 25th, 2009 at 12:39 PMIt’s a pity that the download service is already broken before it’s been launched. Contrary to the marketing material in the Foxtel magazine (can you say “truth in advertising”) downloaded content will have a limited lifetime (I’ve heard 7 days) preventing you from watching it “when you want”.
The download service is also only available for Windows users, it’s a pity that Foxtel’s developers weren’t informed enough to offer a solution built on either Adobe AIR or Microsoft Silverlight – both capable of playing DRM crippled content on multiple operating systems. It’s also interesting that the stock shot used to promote it was of a guy using a MacBook.
I love the suggestion in the Foxtel magazine: “On your next holiday, you can download the kids’ favourite shows so that they can watch them in the back of the car” – let’s hope that download was immediately before you jumped in the car and that you have a Windows PC strapped to the back of the drivers seat so that the kids can actually watch it.
Talk about a IT & product ignorant marketing department.
Best Australian iPhone 3GS Deals
June 26th, 2009 at 11:28 AMIs Optus still offering a 12 month contract option? The URL that had that data yesterday now responds with a page not found error. Check iPhone pricing on Optus now and you only see 24 month plans. Unclear about whether there’s still an Optus tether tax from new page.
