Hey, that's the Technicolor Skipper : http://www.technicolor.com/en/solutions-services/connected-home/video-devices/ott-set-top-boxes/skipper

Already used by those providers in Europe:

hmm im keeping the hell away from foxtel. but this is also good for androidtv as there is no current atv solution for australia without importing.

i wish fetchTv launched an androidtv box though...

Telus in Canada has done this as well with a different box, labelling it Pik TV

Anyone pick up on the reference to an OTA tuner built in? I believe that means DVB-T broadcast standard. Australia refers to it as Freeview.

Quite a bargain compared to Airtv product in USA which costs $129 with optional ATSC tuner. Airtv unit is also sourced from Technicolor and based on similar SOC.

So only $30 when it comes to the US!
