Who doesn’t love a good expo? If you’ve never heard of it before, E3 is short for “Electronic Entertainment Expo”.

It’s fair to say that home entertainment has come a long way since the humble VCR! The advent of digital entertainment brought about a lot more than just better picture quality – now, thanks to the internet, there’s no longer a need to make a sneaky pyjama-run to the local video shop to pick something up for a cozy night in.

Fetch TV uses the internet to deliver premium channels to your TV at an affordable price. Movie buffs and TV series fans aren’t left in the dark, either – the Fetch TV & Movie store brings the video shop to your living room with thousands of new releases and classic favourites available to buy or rent (not to mention a curated selection of 30 movies included each month at no extra cost).
