    Good News for Australian & New Zealand members!


    On my Samsung S5, When I got it from Spark NZ late last year, it already has a TVNZ app on it and TVNZ is support it. Xbox needs more TV apps. Australia has 'em. TVNZ wholly owned by NZ, is like the biggest television company here apart from Sky TV. I'm
    surprised they support Samsung, but not Microsoft, and yes Microsoft has several offices in NZ. I am happier that Netflix and Microsoft said the program is coming over here, usually it's only a US and UK thing.

    And also New Zealanders, Voice Commands is now unlocked, but in order for it to work without changing to Australia or pretending to be from the US/UK, select NZ locale, and in the language setting, select English (Australia). There is no English (NZ). If
    you select none, you will be locked out from using voice commands, select English (Australia) and NZ locale, and go have fun Good News for Australian & New Zealand members! :). It's OK for New Zealanders to pretend we're from Australia I guess because of the little time difference and good rapport between
    our governments. Me and my family went to Sydney late December had a blast. New Zealanders can actually live and work there pretty much straight away without applying for a visa I think. Though Australia gives you a special visa because of the relationship
    between us. In Australia, things are much cheaper and wages much better than in NZ. NZ's minimum wage and youth wages is peanuts compared to Australia (but it's better than US/UK). When I visited Australia, NZ$1 = AU$0.94-$0.96 cents, yet Screamride is $49.99
    there and $69.99 here. Our ISP is Spark NZ they're the biggest ISP in NZ and the second biggest mobile network company in NZ (biggest MOBILE provider is Vodafone).

    I can't wait until Foxtel is dead. It took me 3 years of having it to realise how terrible it is.

    Oh wow, thanks for that revelation Genchy!

    It looks like I'd still end up hating foxtel or what other provider got the rights first then!

  5. I like watching a foxtel show, when someone says "In the future" and a timeline appears that we've already surpassed.

    Foxtel is alright if you wanna watch the same stuff over and over. It's good we are finally getting Netflix but Personally I prefer just buying what I wanna watch on DVD.

    How do you peps feel about Screamride? It came out today and playing it on Xbox 1. I finished doing some recording and about to upload to Youtube. Screamride is one of my most anticipated games for this year. Looking forward to Ori and the blind forest,
    and Final Fantasy Type 0 HD and Final Fantasy XV Demo all due out this month. I read Netflix may release on the 24th of this month for NZ XD. I use a Hauppauge HD PVR2 which I got January last year I've gotten a couple of friends involved in my Xbox videos.

    Hello Aussies and NZ bro's, You're still better off with a U.S netflix account. There are "services" online that will do this for you, or you could set up a U.S address.

    Glad that NZ is now being recognized by the xb1

    ^ Thats what the "Services" part of my message meant, I didn't really say that well. Currently it's about $12 to get "help" with netflix, straight out direct is about $9. Just out of interest, our mentally challenged Government will never be able to lock
    us out of anything for too long. Out of interest, I work for an American company in Aus, My email address is in the U.S, my street address is in the U.S.

    Foxtel is doomed in this country, people will hang on as long as they can't afford the bandwidth for Netflix through telstra who incidentally own half of Foxtel. Free to air is fooling itself,,,,,,,,,,,
