    We don't get Sky in the UK, but this looks as near as you're likely to get

    Hi all,

    Sky is similar to, but not the same as, the UK. There are not as many channels (including sport and movies) but hey, how many can you watch anyway?!?

    Most of the time will be spent outside at the barbie anyway!!

    Mark.

    SKY TV is not nearly as good and far fewer channels. It is full of repeats and repeats of repeats.

    If you like US Crime serials then you will be made up. If you like watching lots (and lots) of Rugby - both codes - then you will be in Heaven !

    Premiership Soccer coverage is good, probably more games shown that in the UK.

    I have just cancelled the movies because they are so out of date and repeated over and over. Better to subscribe to a DVD store.

    Hello and welcome Pugwash. Nice to have someone on board from somewhere other than Akl or Chch (not that there is anything wrong with either, I`m sure).
    Have they put the roof back on your airport yet??

    Yes there are sky sports ... costs, I think, about $60 a month for the sports or film channels.

    The basic package is $44 a month. We ended up getting sky to get a better picture of channels 1,2,3.

    No Sky + yet but it's just been released in Oz so may not have to wait too much longer for it.
