Canberra-based TransACT has launched a bundle of services which includes IPTV and video on demand.
TransACT has been in the VOD game for a long time, running some of the first Australian trials some 10 years ago.
Available only to NSW and ACT customers, the offer includes a PVR, enabling access to all the FTA channels plus a range of "cable TV" like content.
A subscription gets you "over 50" channels including the usual suspects - ESPN, BBC World News, MTV, TCM, National Geographic and Disney.
More interesting is the offer from the "Download Channels".
These look like a selection of channels from the Movie Network ( currently offered by Foxtel).
Then there are the "Entertainment on Demand" channels, which appear to be a streaming offering, including " Docos on Demand", (no information available), ABC on demand (a limited selection of archived ABC product) and the curiously named " Luxury on Demand" - bios of artists, chefs and designers, plus "over 100 classical and jazz concerts".
Apparently some Australian content is lurking in the Movie Network channels.
I will be following this up.
