Tivo, T-Box, Xbox, Foxtel: TV options are on the up

The media went into a frenzy this week over two announcements relating to Australian television and the ability to record it. Tivo’s corporate backer is rumoured to be pulling the plug and Telstra’s T-Box will be able to receive Foxtel in the coming months, just like an XBox 360 can now. Add to that new IP-TV technologies and services and the future of TV looks pretty good.
