Foxtel Play

Foxtel Play is a subscription-based IPTV streaming service allowing subscribers to view live pay TV channels on compatible devices. It replaces the previous Foxtel on Internet TV service.

Foxtel Play is available on the following platforms:

• PC and Mac, through a custom Silverlight-based app
• Xbox 360
• Samsung Smart TVs (2012/2013 models), through a Accedo-based HTML widget

Support for other platforms in the future seems to be indicated due to the presence of code for LG Smart TVs (very likely) but also perhaps Sharp Smart TVs, Sagem Smart TVs, Sony Smart TVs, Opera Browser, Boxee Box, Toshiba Smart TVs, and the PS3.
