So half an hour of SKY UK news and half an hour of Discover or Nat Geog. will do me nicely for my $36.95 a month!

As Wol mentioned, after a while you think it's Ground Hog day.

So imagine my delight to move to Australia and discover not only free tv, but free tv in English!

Now I'm bombarded with NCIS or CSI or 'All New' something or other and our only salvation is the ABC and Midsommer Murders. What is it with Australia's devotion to American crime shows?

Funny thing is, my dad gets fox and when I visit him I get to watch all the programs he loves, which are the ones I saw more than two years ago in the UK on sky! :D

You will need broadband and it took me a while to fart around with it getting it right. I now get all the shows from "home" that I like.

I went to uni in Cardiff and we had the same problem!! We used to watch Pobel-y-cwm for a laugh - it was a Welsh version of Neighbours wasn't it?
How much does S4C suck?!!!!? I'm sure even Welsh people hate it!
That really made me laugh, fantastic!!

This is the one you want but the membership is limited to 25000. Just keep trying and eventually it will ask you to set-up an account as it did with me yesterday.
