[mythtvnz] OTish Online TV via Telstra 'Ziln'

[Alick Wilson]

They say 'Another first for New Zealand Internet'. It's not true, TVNZ on
Demand does much the same and has been around for some time.
 
I checked out Ziln:
- full screen high quality (768kbps) on 24" 1080 LCD monitor is rather poor,
well below SD quality on 46" LCD HDTV.
- traffic is not zero rated on my broadband plan (TelstraClear cable) and
and overage cost is about $1 per hour (~ 300 MB/hour). 
 
I also checked out TVNZ on Demand:
- full screen high quality (700kbps) on 24" 1080 LCD monitor is rather poor,
well below SD quality on 46" LCD HDTV.
- traffic is not zero rated on my broadband plan (TelstraClear cable) and
and overage cost is about $1 per hour (~ 300 MB/hour).
- traffic is zero rated on Orcon.
 
Given the per hour cost, I have little interest in either of these services
as a replacement for terrestrial or satellite TV.
 
Both of these services use Adobe Flash Player.
