    Great little device, and easy to use. Got one for free recently due to recontracting.

    • aussieaubs on 08/02/2017 - 18:52

      can you let me know what plan you went on when recontracting??? what the monthly cost was (I'm assuming home broadband (ADSL)

      • OverburdenedWarrior on 08/02/2017 - 19:10

        Yup, it's the Home Internet Large Bundle (1000GB Cable). I'm pretty sure it's $120 a month, but after a monumental stuff-up on Telstra's end I managed to get it reduced. (So, $110 + Free Speedbooster, which itself is $20 a month. As well as Foxtel discounts.)

        You should be able to grab the same bundle, but I'm not sure the Telstra TV offer is available without calling up. If you're already with them and have finished your current contract you'll have a better chance scoring a deal recontracting. (Probably best to do this over the phone.)

        Edit: Try checking up the plan on the website and see if it mentions anything about current offers.

        • Diji1 on 08/02/2017 - 19:41
          +1

          which itself is $20 a month.

          Only if you don't call them and get it for nothing.

          Also they reduce prices if you hardball them. For example I pay $109.95 for 1000GB (uploads metered) at 100Mbit.

          While you're busy thinking you're having a great deal by having the $20 speedboost marketing device which you can get for free they've left you paying $10 extra for something.

          The real Telstra suckers are paying $149.95 for 200GB (uploads metered) at 33Mbit (or less if they're DSL customers). Telstra has multiple combinations of marketing devices they use to "give" and justify spending more money for dumb shit like speedboosts - which they give customers that play hardball for free.

        • OverburdenedWarrior on 08/02/2017 - 19:59
          +1

          @Diji1: No, the free booster merely puts me back at parity with my previous plan that they moved me away from due to their stuff-up. So factoring that out, the $10 discount puts me at $110 a month, as you are. (115/2) (Edit: I read back my previous post and can see how you got to your first point, my mistake. Hopefully this one explains things better.)

          Next, the Foxtel bonuses bring the price from what was $135+ back to $99 without losing anything. (Platinum HD + Multiroom)

          On top of that, I've had all install costs waved every time I've had to move. (Never seem to get a property marked for self-install.

          Edit: + Credits for both inconvenience and as a gesture of good will in response to their mess ups.

          You make some good points, but luckily I know all about playing hardball with Telstra. (and all about how many ways they can mess things up!)

        • [Deactivated] on 09/02/2017 - 12:12

          I just re-signed today but on the $99 deal with 1000gig plan with foxtel Ent Pack + Sports HD free for 3 months.

          Outstanding offer.

          We were paying $130 a month before this for 500gig internet alone.

          I did but the Telstra TV for $89 for the bedroom though.

    Can also add 1-month FREE Foxtel Play. But as I viewed the other comments, it might be expired before your unit arrives.

  • wildstone on 08/02/2017 - 17:49

    Is this for a lack of better word, 'locked' in any way? Any limitations at all or is it just a Telstra branded Android box?

    • Lil B on 08/02/2017 - 17:50

      Don't know if you ever heard of a 'Roku' Unit, but this is the exact same but with Telstra branding all over it.

      • tonydav on 09/02/2017 - 09:07
        +1

        I've got both a Roku and Telstra TV. Personally for 90% of people I'd go with the TelstraTV.

        The Roku is difficult to setup due to the geo-blocking.

        Also, doesn't have a Stan app or the local TV catchup channels.

        On the plus side for the Roku, the plex app is the "real" one so much much much better than the side-loaded one on the TelstraTV. There's also a heap of other channels (including adult ones) that might appeal.

        I have both and like both, but if any friends ask for recommendations unless they're will to get their hands "dirty" I tell them to just go with the TelstraTV.

        • [Deactivated] on 09/02/2017 - 12:56

          Have you tried Geo Unblock? I'm reading about heaps of channels and even watching US Cable TV using someone's username and password sold on Craigslist wondering if anyone has tried it

        • OhPee on 09/02/2017 - 13:21

          I Have the Roku for the Plex (so good) and the NBA.
          Also allows me to watch You tube and 100's of useless channels.
          There are some gems in there though.

    • jasong on 08/02/2017 - 19:29

      I believe you can't load non Australian apps like Hulu or HBO Go, but for Australian apps it's fine

      • DrKazanovaKK on 09/02/2017 - 09:23

        You can side load them if they have the roku files available.

        • jasong on 09/02/2017 - 14:09

          I read you could only side load one at a time though, problem if you wanted say Plex + any other streaming service

          +1

          @jasong: I'm not too sure as I only have Emby installed because I got sick of the roku media player.

    • Trickey on 08/02/2017 - 19:30

      Yes the unit is locked. You have to activate it via a Telstra portal. Not sure if it's transferable after that.

      Better off just buying a newer Roku unit and be (mostly) hassle free.

      They are a great unit but I've had some hassles with some of the channels (apps), particularly the NBA League Pass app. As soon as it's loaded I get the blackout message and the whole app quits. It's never been updated and so I fell back to the Apple TV which still hasn't let me down.

      • [Deactivated] on 08/02/2017 - 19:45

        Yeah seems like this one is best value at the moment:

        https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/332079924046

        Unless you have a 4K TV.

        I'm thinking to try it out with VPN if anyone else has one I wonder if it does screen mirroring?

  • O O on 08/02/2017 - 17:51

    Offer only available online and for a limited time only to Telstra Home Broadband customers.

    According to reslo1, the deal seems to work with anyone besides Telstra Home Broadband customers, as long as you have a Telstra ID to activate the box. If you don't have a Telstra ID, the cheapest way is to buy a $2 Telstra Pre-paid SIM in order to create one.

    1. FYI - You don't need to be a Telstra customer and you certainly don't need to be on their broadband network. I'm with Internode and it works just fine for me.

      I signed up using my Telstra ID that I have for my mobile without any issue. I've also heard from people that its possible to get a Telstra ID without a service and that is all you need to activate the box.

      NOTE - Streaming Bigpond Movies and Presto will not be quota free unless you're on Bigpond.

    Good deal for those who don't want to do the Gumtree / ebay dance.

    Gonna set one up for the folks and split the cost of Foxtel Play for GOT and HD sports (be nice if Anytime goes HD before the F1 season starts).

    Don't have to be a Telstra broadband customer to buy or use these AFAIK.

    • spackbace on 08/02/2017 - 18:11

      Good deal for those who don't want to do the Gumtree / ebay dance.

      Is it 1 Netflix 6-month pass per device, or per Telstra ID…?

      So if you'd bought a unit second-hand, can you then still claim the 6 months free with your own Telstra ID?

      • sween64 on 08/02/2017 - 18:13

        • mudguppy1 on 12/02/2017 - 16:05

          this is true, reset, use different telstra id and redeem offer to same netflix account

        So if you'd bought a unit second-hand, can you then still claim >the 6 months free with your own Telstra ID?

        Good question.

        Can't imagine you can reactivate a previously activated unit with a new ID and still get the 6 months of Netflix (otherwise you could just keep deactivating and reactivating the same unit over and over again with different IDs and get 6 months of Netflix each time, although apparently there is a limit of 3 lots of Netflix codes per Netflix account?), but I could be wrong.

        Best bet is to buy brand new sealed ones from Gumtree or ebay, and use a different Telstra ID to activate each one.

        • mudguppy1 on 12/02/2017 - 18:01

          "Can't imagine you can reactivate a previously activated unit with a new ID and still get the 6 months of Netflix"

          This is exactly what you can do. (probably outsourced the implementation to the same mob who ran census 2016 and the clink robo debt)

      • Lil B on 08/02/2017 - 19:23

        Or.. if you are really, really bored go on either Gumtree or eBay and search Telstra TV and some people have pictures of the serial number. As stated before, if they factory-reset the unit they can get another trial too ;)

        Example

        P.S - I'm not responsible for anything.

        ;)

        • spackbace on 08/02/2017 - 19:29

          I don't know how the serial number works tho…? I thought you only get it when you sign into the device?

          +1

          @Spackbace:Ah, they must of changed it. Back when they first released it, you didn't need an activation code on your screen, only your devices serial number. What I was trying to get at, if you only needed a serial number, you could of just used any valid serial number and get offers.

      You can get HD Foxtel Play for all channels (except Fox Footy). No other device offers HD at the moment. Any usage won't go against your Telstra NBN download allowance. Picture quality is excellent and was very reliable during my one month trial.

      I think it also has Bigpond Movies if you are into renting movies.

      Other than that, probably nothing that your PS4 doesn't cover.

    • swalloweda on 08/02/2017 - 22:42

      You can't use Kodi, but I got a version of Plex on mine (RARFlix), and it works really well from my NAS. We ended up with 2 boxes for some reason, and the free Netflix works for both (as long as you sign up for anything but the basic"one screen"option)

      But if you're looking for the more dodgy Kodi stuff you're out of luck, I'm afraid. :(
      I've got 2 Kodi boxes but don't use them as the combo of TTV and Netflix works so well!

    Don't need $2 sim to create a telstra account. Just registered on website. The sim tried to make me sign up for a data/phone subs.
    You can just login to telstra tv app once registered and then activate unit that way. Ensure with wifi on your phone turned off if not a telstra broadband customer.

    Netflix worked for me and I had existing account.

    It's a great unit for price and you can cast to it as well. Local Aus TV apps are all pre-installed, so I would rate it highly for ease of use.

    Only downside was that it ran out of power with h265 1080 shows.

    It's Plex classic so isn't too polished but works a treat.
