Television Shows Now Available on iTunes Australia

A technical point: are TVs sophisticated enough not to care about frame rate? It would be great if movies were 24fps files and the TV adjusted its frequency accordingly (e.g. 72Hz or 96Hz). To hell with NTSC and PAL etc. We've had enough of such limiting things. Let it go! Please! PLEASE!

I have been getting movies & TV shows from the US store for a while now and it plays back fine on my TV.

I wasn't clear so sorry about that. What I meant was not how it plays on your TV, but keeping the integrity of the way the feature film (or TV show) was shot. It shouldn't matter what frame rate the file is, even if it isn't 25 or 29.97. The TV should take it (and iPods already do).

Modern TVs and blu-ray players support movies at 24 fps.

Have you considered moving to an 8mbit plan with another ISP? You may take a hit in the speed (depending on what you sync at) but it might be cheaper / get you more quota compared to what you are on now

You could always move to iiNet. Free traffic to the iTunes store.

Seriously, go out have a look at other ISP's pricing, plans and service quality and then make a decision. You will most likely find you can get more quota, better service and a much better experience over-all if you aren't with Telstra.

this is exactly what i have been trying to tell dad, to change over to a provider that is half the price for exactly the same plans, if not better.. he keeps saying that because we have our 2 mobiles, house phone and internet plan with telstra its "too much of a hastle" to change over internet addresses etcetc. i wish he would just wake up and change, we would save that much money.
