TV on your phone - is it really the way of the future or just clever gimmickry? We looked at both major services to see who’s better, who costs more, and should you even be interested.

Freeview and Foxtel are currently vying for our attention, but I'd say Foxtel's biggest threat is the internet. Like me, many people spend $50 to $100 on internet access each month in lieu of getting pay TV.

iSuggest, Record Me, 12 new SD channels, 15 new HD channels, new plan pricing, IQ formatting changes and more time-shift options are all expected to be phased in over the next month.

From watching iView on your mobile to live Australian TV while overseas, to Freeview, Foxtel IQ2 and TiVo, Stuart Andrews and Zara Baxter perfect the menu for takeaway TV.

We asked Foxtel why the iQ/iQ2 still continues to cut off shows that go over schedule, and they’ve responded with this work-around. However, their proposed solution is not the long awaited cure-all.

With the recent changes made possible by the iPhone 3.0 OS, Mobile Foxtel is finally unleashed onto iPhone handsets. But the big news is the improved video stream.

There's a host of upcoming free-to-air channels, known as Freeview - coming to a digital TV near you. And if we're lucky, Foxtel has told us they will transmit them too.

Foxtel's iQ2 problems are hopefully now a thing of the past, if today's announcement proclaiming a program-by-program recording option is anything to go by. Judge for yourself.

With the recent announcements of fixed buffer times, program by program recording, improved EPG scheduling and now online downloads, we're happy to see Foxtel finally embracing the online world.

Previously, Foxtel iQ and iQ2 subscribers needed a working home line to order movies. Now, in the age of Naked DSL and mobile phones, Foxtel now let you order movies from any phone device.

Foxtel’s upcoming HD set-top box stakes a claim as the must-have accessory for HD TVs.

Foxtel viewers were quick to alert English cricket commentators to a cricketing mistake, after they missed it on their own replays

An explosion in high-def Personal Video Recorders with VoD services, like the TiVo and Telstra's T-Box, is making it harder and harder to justify paying for Foxtel each month

It's not quite Foxtel IQ and it's isn't TiVo either. The T-Box lets Telstra users watch movies and TV from the Bigpond site, as well as record and watch digital TV

You told us and we listened. The good battle has been fought for our loyal readers and Foxtel is coming to the table next year with a new fix to address the common buffer problem that makes iQ2 users so mad.

Own a TiVO box and you'll soon be getting free movies, as TiVO starts testing the waters for Internet downloads. They say it's better than Pay TV, but we're betting Foxtel users may disagree.
