The free to air integration without an aerial sells this to me even before looking at other features. What puzzles me though is the marketing. The ads aren't communicating the points of difference.

[@c.s2001]

It’s good to see the friendship between you too.
Hope it continues for a Trevor LONG LONG time!

[@ashleyhm4600]

Really great show guys, I'm a long time fan, great topics discussed! Really like your show! 😁👍

[@philbo1]

I currently use an Apple TV and also a fetch box with hard drive to record free to air shows and play them back later to fast forward the adverts which I hate. Do you think bookmarking a live show to watch later on Hubble will allow you to forward the ads? I suspect not as this is the main revenue stream. If so I won't be getting one. I get the premium plans for all streaming apps so I don't get adverts either.

Was surprised you didn’t acknowledge last weeks podcast was stuffed up when podcast listeners couldn’t hear the Zuck comments. Thought you would fess up on that issue.

[@EFTM]

We reuploaded and fixed that

[@pl5065]

@@EFTM Thanks, I guess as my Apple Podcasts automatically downloads and keeps the last 5 episodes that even though I listened to it a few days later I didn’t get the updated version. Cheers

I have Apple TV and a Foxtel IQ4 via satellite plus Kayo/Flash. If the internet goes out, I can view Foxtel via satellite

great podcast as always. Good idea for when Stephen goes on long deserved holidays to do some interviews with the tech insiders that you guys always mention. Movie podcast if you could get david cambel or richard wilkins would be a winner too !

In Korea a child is considered to be 1 year old on the day they are born.

[@laoma4131]

Hubbi sounds good, I wonder shows drop off foxtel all together and not on other streaming services. I wonder are there shows still you can watch “live” but not stream on catch up. My mum loves her IQ.

[@pl5065]

If you sing happy birthday on the day the child is born, which birthday do you call the first birthday?? 🎂

[@c.s2001]

A lot of Asian cultures celebrate ( or used too) the birthday of a new born child. This only changed due to Western culture influences.
