| 568311 | 2007-07-15 10:45:00 | Installation cost nothing and their is no contract to sign its a special that telstra have going at the moment. The monthly cost for phone tv without movies and 5gb internet plan at 2mbps up and down all up cost $120 a month but because we got an extra digital decoder its $145 a month. Have to say Telstras digital tv is way clearer than skys satellite. I also made the picture even clearer myself today using the s video lead, when telstra install their decoders they don't have scart inputs on them they just have your normal yellow red and white sockets in the back of them. Because my dvd recorder has scart inputs only the guy had a scart plug with your normal red white yellow and s video input on the back of it and he inputted them into my dvd recorder but i wasn't that overly happy with the picture quality so i plugged the s video plug into the decoder and the other end into the back of the scart plug and all that signal comes out of the HDMI plug from my dvd recorder into the HDMI socket on the tv and WOW what a huge difference in clarity everything looks so crystal clear and glassy looking strikingly beautiful picture. I realise this is not the clearest i can get but it will do until telstra get some better decoders in the future with HDMI outputs in them. If you go for the analogue decoder for your second, it's only an extra $10 a month |

| 568313 | 2007-07-16 00:12:00 | For those who have telstraclear i got some mail today informing me that the package i currently have is to increase by $4 on the first of august,I think this will apply to all customers. | Hitech (9024) | ||
| 568314 | 2007-07-16 09:03:00 | No doubt it's the Sky content on it that's increased. | paulw (1826) | ||
| 568315 | 2007-07-16 09:31:00 | you are right it has but not all of it telstraclear still charge $1.99 for sky digital music and $5.95 for a pay per view movie which is still cheaper than sky itself. | Hitech (9024) | ||
| 568316 | 2008-06-14 05:33:00 | After a tech visit to check out the same locking up problem as "plod" we were advised that the signal level was too low in our area . We knew this was the case as many moons ago, after the initial set up, the problem was there but not the channel crashing bit . Many months later and after many tech visits the signal level to our area was increased to around the 45% mark . All the problems went and we had no problems for months until a storm hit the area which resulted in a total crash of the TV and Broadband . Since that storm and them getting things sort of up and running again, our decoders signals never came back up to the same level and the locking up is now back plus the added bonus of a couple of channels crashing . Another visit from a tech told us what we already knew and tried to tell them on the help line, that the signal to the area was the problem, but getting the signal back up to the past level didn't sound that good either and we still now have two problems not just one . I was not amused by the letter advising us that there would be an increase in the costs for them providing us with this service . "Nows not all Good" Oh well, hope their upgrade sorts out these issues . They have known about them long enough . |
