552014 2007-05-22 07:45:00 Hi, I have heard you can get UHF channels for free sometimes, I guess if a person can get Prime then you can get them?

Going to satellite. I read this, www.freetv.co.nz
Is it true that you can get intl channels for free?

We currently have sky and have intl channels via that way and pay around $65 for a month, I just have the intl channels, so no Sky Sport, News or Movies. If it is possible what has your experience been with the channels, are they comparative good shows on vs wtv.co.nz ?


Thanks.

Hi nomad

well currently i have to admitted that WTV has improved alot since when it is first started. Well i haven't got those channel out of that from the freetv.co.nz, however if i so focus on the China drama, then of course it will be good.. but for me, china drama are not good for me, i like the channel 307 for me...

Sure, try my site www.apsattv.com for some examples of what you can get or www.vetrun.com for a Free to satellite enthusiasts forum.

As for are they modern, XING KONG on Asiasat3 is showing American Idol (in english) and they are a week ahead of TVNZ..

Apstar 6 has about 40 fta chinese channels available on a 1.8m dish.
