Can you get SKY News in Oz (Perth)?
 
Certainly not fussed with TV per se, but can't bear the thought of no Sky News or CNN. Sad I know. Plus have Sky Box here about to be redundant, or is it? Is there Sky TV over in Oz?

Thanks all

You have Foxtel/Anstar here, but there is a channel on it for CNN and one for Sky News - though its usually Aussie Sky, they have feeds of live UK Sky News from time to time.......I'm in Brisbane, and am currently watching the UK Evening News from Sky, while typing....surreal!! :)

Yep, just been watching it, although only at certain times of the day there is a direct feed but you can pick the headlines and summary up from Sky News Active - similar format that you get in the UK with 8 different sections - which runs constantly.

Good luck in your move over here.

It's not News 24, it looks like it but it's BBC World, which is different.
