[QUOTE="Rentakill, post: 180569, member: 175156"] Hi Channel Hopper Good question. The answer to that would probably due to the population here in Nz. There is a Digital Terrestrial service running in the Main centre of Auckland, but not officially.. Only as a Test for possible Future plans for when they have to switch off the current Analogue VHF/UHF services. Actaully the terrestrial service in Auckland was origianally set up for when Auckland was the host for the last Americas cup, mainly for service to all the million dollar yauhts that were parked along the viaduct basin. Terrestrial digital would be the way to go in Nz, as the current Transmission chain throughout the whole country has around 95% coverage, and is off very good plan and structure. Another problem is the amount of services that can be put in front of the population here in Nz, after all there is only around 5 million in population.. 1.4Million in Auckland alone. Getting european services to our end of the globe usually inviolves a dedicated or other separate sevice provider to get the feed here.. If we had a view of your Astra fleet, then things would be a hell of a lot cheaper to set up. Up untill the last few years our local skies have been fairly empty with regard to Sats.. Although there is a few coming online now. Most of our international services we receive would be mainly off the AsiaSat flleet which are located about 5 deg above our horizon. Those Asia sats have fairly good coverage of Europe and have a slight overspill into Nz, but are very hard to receive due to there geographical location. The next providers would be off The Pas 2 and 8 sats, followed by a few off the Intelsat birds.. These are fairly easy to receive, but are usually temp feeds and are encrypted in PowerVu.. I hope this answers a few questions on our status downunder Cheers Ren [/QUOTE]
