The streaming wars are heating up, with Freeview announcing an offering.

FreeviewPlus is the latest product to join the likes of Netflix and NEON.

It'll allow viewers to watch traditional television channels, and their on-demand content.

The announcement comes in the same week as Netflix's New Zealand launch, which has caused competitor Lightbox to drop its pricing.

Streaming - the delivery of television content over the internet - is expected to change the broadcast landscape over the next few years.
