| 1375683 | 2014-05-23 15:16:00 | Up to about 6 weeks ago I used to be able to get Al Jazeera on channel 16. Now it doesn't come on. Does anyone have a idea why? | Greg (193) | ||
| 1375684 | 2014-05-23 19:38:00 | Looks like its down in some areas (freeviewforum.co.nz). In Wairarapa it was down there was a power outage. In Taupo the generator was hit by lightning lol wtf. I didnt see any lightning. Or hear thunder Also some prob in Nelson yesterday Are you usiing a Zinwell receiver or a TV with FV built in?? Looks like the ZMT-620 / 640pvr has had probs getting that channel |

I have the same problem with Al Jazeera, and I'm using a Zinwell ZMT-620 STB. I hope they fix it soon! Does anyone know the technicalities of why a single channel like this can't be received? It (ch16, Al Jazeera) is definitely found in the station scan. |

| 1375688 | 2014-05-29 05:37:00 | So what's on Al Jazeera? to my uneducated ears it sounds like the terrorist channel (sorry no offense meant). I wouldn't know if I can receive it as I've never watched it :) |

I wouldn't know if I can receive it as I've never watched it :)I used to think that too! Especially after El Quada used to use them to report various responsibilities. But in fact it's a respectable alternative to BBC news. |

| 1375691 | 2014-05-29 23:45:00 | The American administration hated Al Jazeera before and during the Gulf War because it was reporting what was actually happening, which didn't conform with the Bush/Blair lies. | Terry Porritt (14) | ||

A few weeks ago after doing that "APNA" appeared, an Indian channel showing a variety of entertainment shows, Bollywood movies etc. Some of them are quite cheesy but if you don't mind the singing and dancing they can be a laugh, and many have sub-titles anyway, although with the Indian penchant for switching between Hindi & English mid-sentence it's not always needed :-) During some recent carpet-relaying I finally installed a CAT6 cable from the Router to the FV box and there have been a couple of updates via this which improved the recording and booked program features. |
