Wednesday, December 14, 2011 at 10:14 AMI tried out the SBS on Demand and Youtube apps last night, both work really well. I’m especially impressed by SBS though, the layout of the app, and the available content is perfect.

Wednesday, December 14, 2011 at 12:19 PMABC and SBS is metered by Bigpond on PC so I would expect the same on Xbox. I think most ISPs meter them.

Wednesday, December 14, 2011 at 2:13 PMMany of the US apps work in Aus. Pretty nice. NineMSN needs to be higher quality – seems like 240p sadly. Yet to try out SBS videos as nothings on right now that interests me. Can’t wait for ABC iView :D Sneak peek here: http://www.xbox.com/en-AU/live/ABC/

Wednesday, December 14, 2011 at 2:15 PMoh…whoops was meant to say that iView is uncapped on iinet – not sure about the Xbox 360 version although much of Xbox Live is uncapped on iiNet so it should be. Foxtel is uncapped on bigpond – that’s as far as it goes I think.
