Key to the free service for consumers is the placement of advertising in the content. For content that is not free, such as first run movies, a charge of between US$3.99 for 720 content and $5.99 for 1080p HD content will apply.
All that consumers will have to pay to get the free service is a MyTvPal set top box which will cost around US$350.
The issue for MyTvPal.com is finding the right data centre partners as well as retailers or a distributor that can sell their set top boxes in Australia.
Aaron Keogh the Content Director for the company said in an exclusive interview with SmartHouse, "We are able to provide our TV channel service worldwide. Currently we are providing our HD VOD service in North America only, however we do aim to provide our HD VOD service in countries such as Australia, Japan, Hong Kong, and the United Kingdom in the next 6 - 12 months."
