Disappointed with the level of HD for the foreign channels. The BBC looks awful on Flash vs the IQ5 on which it must broadcast on a higher bitrate because the picture quality is much better vs an SD FTA channel.
Apologises if this has already been asked/answered but is it available for Smart TVs from Samsung?
Wasnât in the Samsung Store when I looked earlier
EDIT: Given the platform is allegedly the same as Kayo/Binge, surely it shouldnt be difficult for them to get apps going fairly easily on these additional devices where Kayo and/or Binge already have a presence

CNA is in the press release. The CNA Apple TV app is also really good anyway.

Very disappointing line up, with lots of it being freely streamed anyway, and a lot not being true news channels.
Is this just live streams and catch up from just the channels they have? Would have thought at the very least youâd get a bunch of docos and some text news sources too.
Canât see anyone thinking this is worth $8.
For service which says it wants to appeal to progressives, not having MSNBC is a big omission.
In regards to CNN US, CNNI (to its detriment) simulcasts most of their shows these days anyway.
It does make me wonder whether Fetch have exclusive rights to it or not.
Perhaps Sky News should have a ârolling newsâ channel (as it originally was until a few years ago) separate from the main channel. As well as a Sky Business channel (business is one of Murdochâs specialties).

Sky News for rolling news coverage and Sky Nation for the editorial, and after 11pm it can just simulcast Fox News or something.

The service is still useless for Australian news after 5pm. You canât get that here.
Ohh itâs the Fox News and sky grievance platform. Woke and cancel culture. These right wing nut jobs offer nothing of value. Itâs constant whinging in an attempt to own the left.

Can anyone paraphrase the article can I can only view the first line.
Sounds interesting nonetheless.
Sunday Herald Sun reports that Georgie Tunny is joining Flash, to host a new segment called News Flash. Iâm not sure if this means sheâll be leaving the ABC.
