Just a word of caution about Sky; their parent company is trying to monopolize the market here in NZ. They
're buying up FTA terrestrial stations and then refusing to broadcast them over Freeview HDTV's terrestrial service. They've already bought two that I know of; Prime and Triangle TV.
Also, the NZ government will likely be launching an investigate into them, within the next 12 to 24, over allegations of anti-competitive practices.
Bill, that's your personal view on the subject and shouldn't be stated as fact.
Some people in new Zealand feel differently than you do. For example, all working New Zealander's contribute part of their tax to subsidise FTA channels. Is this tax distributed fairly? The governement doesn't think so because they are pulling their blanket taxpayer funding from TVNZ. When 700,000 tax paying New Zealanders subsribe to Sky you could argue that these people are getting a raw deal because their broadcasting tax funds do not go to Sky...not a cent!
What the NZ government is actually investigating is a better and fairer way of distributing taxpayer funds to all broadcasters. This may include forcing TVNZ (and other broadcasters) to re-broadcast all their FTA channels on Sky.
Please try and consider other points of view the next time you post comments like you did.
If you something to say, next time just do it, without trying to admonish someone else. I don't know you from a bar of soap.
