Telstra TV is a great device in theory, but the UX is riddled with bugs and is so slow. I dumped mine after 3 months and bought an Apple TV instead and just use the FTA’s BVOD apps to access live TV

Telstra TV has always been available to mobile only subscribers. I used one when it was the only way to watch Foxtel online in HD, and I simply logged in with my mobile only Telstra ID. I have never had broadband with Telstra.
