Boxee Box is a device that streams Internet content to your television via an active Internet connection. The Firmware update, which includes many improvements to the Boxee Box web browser, now allows for ABC iView content to be played back correctly and with captions, as tested by a Media Access Australia staff member.
In June 2012, the Broadcasting Services Act 1992 (Cth) (BSA) was amended to include caption quotas for subscription television for the first time.
Two acts of Parliament, the Broadcasting Services Act 1992 (Cth) (BSA) and the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Cth) (DDA) have driven the growth of captioning on Australian television.
The initiative would see 1% of all TV ownership transactions from 2010 to 2015 allocated to a not-for-profit fund that would finance the transition to complete accessibility on all distribution platforms.
