T-Box users will be able to watch and record Digital TV, connect to popular sites such as YouTube and other social networking services, download music (from the BigPond Music store) and the latest movies on demand.

BigPond TV offers a mix of NRL, AFL and other sporting content. Users will be able to record it all, just as they can with a TiVo or Foxtel IQ2 box.
