Optus is beefing up the number of streaming television channels offered for its MeTV PVR (turned online media streamer), with a choice of four foreign-language packs.
From this week, the company will offer streaming foreign language channels to its MeTV customers. The channels are divided into four different packs, targeted at different audiences: Chinese in Mandarin; Indian in Hindi; Korean; and a combined group for Singapore and Taiwan.
