The Network Ten Xbox app gives Xbox Gold Live subscribers instant access to a library of more than 25 programs including Offspring, The Graham Norton Show, Bondi Vet, Bondi Rescue, The Living Room and Totally Wild, meaning Xbox owners will never miss a moment of their favourite local and international hit shows from TEN, ELEVEN and ONE. Additionally, people will be able to use their voice and gesture commands to navigate the app and its content with Kinect for Xbox 360.The app will also feature updated news from Ten's afternoon and nighttime news programs.
"We are thrilled to be adding Network Ten programs to the Xbox platform and further expanding our content library," said Jeremy Hinton, Interactive Entertainment Business Lead, Microsoft Australia via press release. "Our aim is to provide Australian Xbox LIVE members with the best and most popular television content, alongside movies, music and games, and now they will be able to access some of Australia’s highest rated local and international shows."
The new app will go live on the Xbox 360 Dashboard this Wednesday, July 10.

Oh and btw it's an app.
Can't even take a dump these days without it being an app.
How come I don't need an app on my tv to watch tv? Bet they'd like that wouldn't they. Imagine if Apple/Microsoft were around when TVs were invented - I wouldn't enjoy watching TV at all.

my $50 bluray player has all the catchup services free, and this should be the same with the xbox,
Posted 12:38pm 09/7/13
shows on catch up rotation for a limited time.
my pipes are so slow sometimes even iView stutters and plays it's own catch up as i chase that little grey line......buffering.....buffering.....buffering
I've used both SBS and ABC via Xbox, an annual gold membership is only $50.
oh i also use Crackle via Xbox which is ok, when not ......buffering!

i have a samsung bluray player which does some Internet magic, but I found it too clunky compared to, you know, doing something while wearing wicketkeeper gloves while in a tank of molasses, so don't even have it plugged into the Internet at the moment. I keep thinking about plugging it in again to see what TV on demand services are available; particularly interested in movie-on-demand stuff.

It doesn't do them well as it was one of the first generations to have the functionality, but i'm sure the newer tv's are great.
My ps3 does the same.

Having started watching the blue rays I can't go back to compressed stuff now, and streaming 20+ giggers for a couple hour film wont fit down my puny pipe!

There is a free Quickflix like app called Crackle or something like that, which has a bunch of movies similar to Quickflix (mostly older titles) but it is ad supported so every 10 minutes or so you get an ad interrupting your movie (usually the same one too so it can get annoying fast).
There is also a Plex app, I don't use it myself so can't say how good it is. From what I've seen of the smart hub it's pretty good, runs smooth and that includes the apps I've tried. I don't use it too often though since I have a PC hooked up through HDMI and Unified remote on my phone to control it.

yer, as above, its got some bigpond hookup, and quickflix;
plus other apps you can download.
i dont watch moofies on demand though, but it does play all of the medias that i have in my dlna archives. (annoyingly you need to rename mkvs)
