Good news for the 500 TiVo boxes still connected in Australia

If Australians realise they can access Netflix (n times the Quickflix library and cheaper with better technology) what is compelling about Quickflix? How can Quickflix compete – I fail to understand.

@Benross, 100% agree. Can see some merit in Chromcast or similar cheap devices to connect dumb TVs to the world of connected devices. The future is software based, with our existing phones, tabs and PCs…NOT with a dedicated device such as TiVo just for TV.

Netflix is excellent except it does not have HBO, since HBO is my favourite TV I’ll stick with Quickflix
