With the Telstra TV streaming player, Telstra home broadband customers can watch the most popular streaming services, rent the latest blockbuster films from BigPond Movies and catch up on their favourite TV shows. Telstra TV provides access to 15 services including apps for Presto and Netflix, as well as a number of television catch-up services including SBS on Demand, PLUS7 and 9JumpIn, said the service provider.
The operator said that BigPond Movies and Presto will be unmetered, but data usage applies for other usages.
