Streaming Device with Free to Air TV

What streaming device does OzBargain recommend?
I've got a Vodafone TV which I'm really happy with, was looking to get a second one but looks like they're now discontinued. I would go the Google TV + Netflix deal but ideally I want something that has a FTA TV input. Help is appreciated!

  • Don't all the FTA apps have a live stream option?

    • I'm not sure. Maybe I'm just a Luddite, but I do like being able to quickly flip through all the channels using just 1 remote

      • Most devices support HDMI CEC, so you should be able to use your tv remote to control them. I know I can do this on all my TVs, and with both Amazon fire stick and nexus player.

    • Yes, but not all FTA channels have live stream apps.

      An example: The cricket is not being streaming by Ch7 on any of their apps.

    I think the Voda TV is the best device and great value
    I am sure you can find one - new or used
    There are a couple on ebay

    • Yeah I agree 100%! And cheap too.

  • Foxtel now box

  • Telstra TV

  • I have an older model, dual tuner HDHomerun box attached to my home network.

    It lets me stream free to air tv to any device in the house.

    Throw in a Plex subscription and you can stream to your phone when you're away from home too.

  • Similar question to OP. The antenna in our house is terrible; but I have very good internet. Do these devices stream all FTA channels so I dont need an antenna any more. Also, are they a once off payment or a subscription is required?

    Download an iptv player and use matthuisman's AU iptv m3u list to play all the channels. Tivimate is the best iptv player imo.

  • Used Vodafone TV if you can find one.

    Alternatively, a Foxtel Now Box, however you'll be required to login with a Foxtel Now account. Not difficult though, sign up for a trial and you'll just lose access to Foxtel channels once the trial expires.
