Telstra today revealed it would launch its Linux-based T-Box integrated media centre set-top box from mid-June at a stand-alone price point of $299, with a sledload of free and pay-per-view content available and an associated revamp of its broadband plans in the works.
The device – built by IPTV specialist Netgem — includes two digital TV tuners and a 320GB hard disk for video recording functionality, as well as a flexible internet video platform that is designed to function as a conduit for a variety of content from Telstra’s burgeoning Media division, as well as third-party services such as YouTube.

More Telstra humbug!
It's a pity hearing the disaster-prone name of Telstra being associated with "Linux". It's sure to end up giving "Linux" a bad name.
These clowns even manage to sound optimistic as this latest Telstra train-wreck steams out of the station and, no doubt, straight over the nearest cliff.
Naturally, their luckless customers are getting locked into using Telstra's dodgy BigPond network so they'll be thoroughly nobbled before they even get started.
It'll be like a Foxtel that doesn't work and twice as expensive. Avoid it like the plague!
