iiNet pumps up its tv service

03 April 2012 - iiNet, Australia's foundation tv service provider, has announced it is packing even more entertainment and value into its subscription television service with the introduction of the iiNet Freezone app and reduced contract periods for new customers.

The Freezone app for tv gives customers access to a wide range of content including extreme sports, music and live events sourced from iiNet's content partners. The app is available now and free on all tv Entertainment subscriptions.

The reduced contract terms allow new tv customers to access the service without the burden of a two year commitment. Customers can now sign up to the tv Entertainment package on a six month contract and the tv Starter package for twelve months.

iiNet's Chief Product Officer, Stephen Harley, said the expanded tv offering demonstrates iiNet's commitment to bringing real competition in the subscription television market.

"We were the first to introduce tv to Australian broadband customers and now we're working towards having a service that offers more and is continuously evolving," Mr Harley said.

"For new and existing iiNet customers who have been thinking of trying tv, the reduced contract periods and expanding content and movie libraries mean there's no better time than now."

iiNet's expanded television offering follows the announcement that the movie rental library has grown to more than 1000 latest release and popular titles after tv finalised agreements will all major Hollywood studios and local distributors.
