Introducing the Telstra T-Box™ - Product Overview

[trickymicky131]

Why doesn't Telstra advertise that the T-Box does not perform properly on the Next G network. If you only use an existing mobile plan, the T-Box is slower and constantly trying to stream, virtually making it useless to watch. If you are thinking of buying one outright, think again as the only thing telstra will recommend is that you outlay more money to swap to a better connection- a complete waste of money

SHORT being the operative word

DONT BUY T-BOX IF YOU ARE EXPECTING 1080p resolution!!! IT ONLY SUPPORTS 1080i and 720p, so if you are yoused to your regular HD tv then dont be surprised when you can't get full high definition using a tbox! im really annoyed right now and if you can solve my problem @telstraknowhow then please do!

@inthemix is right Telstra rates are way to dear, allowances way to low and they cannot even get me anything better than ADSL2 on my phone lines with any reliabilty. Watching TV this way would be terrible. Have to say though its impressive.

You have to be a Bigpond user to get a T box.......FAIL

im sorry but how about telstra lower your internet prices to be actually competitive with everyone else then people might actually buy this crap...

ive had tesltra adsl and there is no way this will work effective withou tany lag.

[TelstraKnowHow]

@INTHEMIX74 We're offering more competitive rates through our new bundles, we'd recommend ADSL2+ ones where possible - this gives the most ideal experience with the T-Box

[INTHEMIX74]

@TelstraKnowHow no where near it im sorry , but your latest offer is 49$ for 25 gb..thats not competitve .. considering tpg , primus, places like that you get nearly 200 gig total download for the 49 a month... thats competitive.

ive had telstra adsl here and i get the same service from primus and

telstra but primus is a hell of a lot better in regards to downloads and price.

Australias internet is to sub standard for this service..

@TelstraKnowHow i just want to know something i cant seem to find out online. I know you can offload downloaded content FROM the t box to an external harddrive, But can it do the opposite? can i download content transfer that to my usb key and watch it through the t box?

[TelstraKnowHow]

@qmelian At this time, the T-Box does not support content transfer or content play (other than programs that have been recorded on the T-Box) from an external USB stick or external Hard disk drive.

[qmelian]

@TelstraKnowHow Seems like something it should support, or what? any plans to add that as an update that you know of?

[TelstraKnowHow]

@qmelian Absolutely - however at this time we can't confirm any definite plans to incorporate this feature.
