BigPond Internet TV channels = pathetic
BigPond Movies and TV shows on demand = pathetic
BigPond videos on Demand = pathetic
Plus YouTube = pathetic

I am amazed at why some people are buying the T-Box

Yes, how people fall for the clever marketing con ... many unhappy T-Box customers writing in to Whirlpool, people returning them. Others report how they order one BUT supply is poor and online orders being back up would be frustrating!

In my humble opinion, the T-Box will never ever be as good as Fetch TV (Internode's IPTV solution - also offered through iiNet and Adam) Lots of good reasons to go Fetch and not the PATHETIC line up offered on T-Box!!

Our dear friend in Bris recently got one, I think she is happy with it so far

BUT, more worrying is that Whirlpool has had to dedicate a forum to the T-Box now, and you guessed it many threads are titled T-Box Problems (Connection, Slow & or stuttering playback etc)

We will be moving to Fetch TV (via Internode of course) later during this year ... This will be far superior than the stupid T-Box, in my humble opinion

oh nice.

The Telstra T-Box has people posting that they want to so "throw this bit of junk box of electronics at the Wall"

And do a search on Facebook, there is a dedicated band of "Likers" in the I Hate Telstra T-Box f-b page!

Hahahaha yeah many Telstra hating facebook groups

No crappy T-Box for us ... just signed onto a starter deal to Austar

Pretty happy with the final decision in the end!

DILEMMA: what to do with tbox


Trusty Five Step Solution
1. Grab hold of Tbox
2. Take out to Shed
3. Find freshly Sharpened Axe
4. Strike a Mighty Blow into the Tbox
5. Open Wheelie Bin and deliver carcass

Well, that is what I would do!



And more unhappy Tbox owners here;

And the latest in the saga of the brown covered T Box

Firmware updates crash sound, series recordings AND remotes freeze

Great product to deal out to the masses
