As to future development of it, you would have to ask the developers of it for that.
For the T3 though there are alternatives. HbbTV is starting to appear (also marketed as Freeview Plus) and that will offer catch up services, etc. The services are still being setup and trialled by the broadcasters so your mileage may vary on any hardware never mind the T3 but iView is either there or coming (sorry with testing beta releases, I have lost track of which firmware includes it
).
To try it, look for the HbbTV icon to light up in the infobar and press the Blue button.
Thanks.
I did search, and found the topics saying that it was not working for iView. I knew that. None of them answered my question.
I'll see what happens with hbbtv. I had no idea how to activate it - how is one supposed to know that the blue button drives it? So at the moment really the only way to get catchup TV for SBS / ABC on T3 is to try this very beta feature that will add new features admittedly, but doesn't actually yet work fully (a search told me that), when just about every 'smart' device (TV, bluray, tablet, phone, media player, etc) for the last 3 or 4 years has been able to play the way that works?
Just seems a little odd given wording like this on the T3 website:
"...can access content from all around the world through a variety of iptv and streaming plugins." At the moment my 4 year old BluRay player runs rings around the $600 beyonwiz for IPTV, as does just about every other tech device in the house, including the old AC Ryan media player that I am trying to replace with the Beyonwiz.
Please somebody please point out to me what I am missing...
It all seems a little underwhelming right now.
