Just checked, and it's half working.... By that I mean no listings, but able to change channels via using the channel up /down button.

Have you watched the one in Brazil where the cops take the young lad around the back of a car and slot him.

I have banned that show in my house. Hannah Montana is the fave of the moment although a not too shabby Billy Ray Cyrus is in it so I kind of watch it out of the corner of my eye while loading the dishwasher

Default Re: No Foxtel in the whole of Australia right now

I really have never seen the reason to have foxtel, is it really the end of the world? I didn't come all this way to watch telly all the time and the kids are doing quite well without it. Most of my friends have it and are talking of having it taken off as they are constantly playing repeats.
We are used to watching what some of you call "American rubbish" like CSI etc, so am quite happy with normal telly. Now the summer is here we won't be watching much anyway.
Sorry if I have upset everyone, but not being a slave to the tv was just one of aims when we got here.
I never watched Corrie or Emmerdale in England, so don't feel the need to watch it here.
Most brits make getting foxtel one of the first things on their list to get installed here.
This is not a dig at anyone, just can't see the point.
