I thought everyone would what this, as most of us here like technology. :eek: We would want it if it was worth the cost and it was value for money, but more than likley we will get a crap serive, pay through the teeth for it and not everyone will be able to get it and the reception will be garbage. a bit like broadband really. If they are having problenms with HDTV working over here what hope do they have with freeview. I get HDTV sometimes, when the rain and wind are not battering my tv arieal :D |

| 463293 | 2006-06-16 03:06:00 | Yes but what is the good of having a fantastic picture of a load of especially and particularly American crap but not excluding British crap as well, like they say you can't polish a tu*d. (* = r) |

Then we all have to deal with there constipation = Backlog and its stinking the whole place out . I know its off topic but I couldn't help myself . |

| 463296 | 2006-06-16 07:03:00 | Wish we could join this Aussie Pay TV though, look at the keen pricing compared to Sky: www.selectv.com I read somewhere a while ago that one of these networks may consider to enter the NZ market. Cannot remember which one though... |

| 463297 | 2006-06-16 08:57:00 | Couldn't agree more with Plod. For ages we've read moans here about the non-arrival of digital TV. And now we're told it's coming, what happens? More moans. It'll cost too much... The programmes will be dreadful... Our TV sets will be outmoded... etc... Or did I miss something in the information release? Perhaps there was an edict which said it'll be compulsory? |

| 463299 | 2006-06-16 10:18:00 | Wrong in five years time tvs that arrive in the country will have a digital tuner built into them this will then mean you can do away with a set top box and just plug your sky or freeview cable into the back of it. | Hitech (9024) | ||
