Hi!
Posted the below article on FetchTV a couple of weeks ago to another
list, thought people here may be interested in the read.
<snip>
Just ordered this through Internode so taking the time to read up on the
FetchTV service, there's plenty to read.
Firstly, those who may be interested in the FetchTV service will be
pleased to know that the Smart Apps - can't specifically comment on the
iPhone version <smile> - seem to be particularly accessible.
Second, a little sighted assistance seems to be required to go through
the initial setup procedure which is screen based but once that's out of
the way then you should be good to go.
The User guide - whilst containing many helpful tips - is going to need
some translation as it contains many diagrams so I'll undertake that
project myself unless anyone else has done it <smile>.
The FetchTV box can record up to 3 Free-to-Air shows at any one time or
you can watch one whilst recording two others etc.
You're able to access subscription channels through the FetchTv service
though this really wasn't a requirement for me, they're there if I want
them.
You can watch Netflixh through your FetchTV but as yet I don't know just
how accessible this would be and in any case, I have other accessible
ways of watching Netflix already so its not a major concern.
And finally, you can use your FetchTV box as a media server thus you can
share all that you've recorded with your Windows PC, Mac or other
devices such as your Blu-Ray player etc.
I should have the FetchTV unit some time next week and hope to be able
to tell you more about it then but I guess I should answer the question,
why did I bother buying a FetchTV box?
I had word that the Windows Media Center App is to be discontinued from
Windows 10, no doubt Microsoft have there reasons.
Its a pity as Windows Media Center is a perfectly accessible way to
watch your favourite TV shows, look up items in the TV guide, Record
your favourite shows and so on.
