Default Satellite or Cable

Hi there

Moving to Brizzie on 12 May. Have sky tv over here but have no idea what is cost or options for similar in Oz. I have heard that quality of tv is not great but would appreciate advice on alternatives. Also, how do we get them set up.

Cheers in advance

The first thought that I had was "why worry about the TV, we'll be doing so much outdoors stuff that we probably won't bother".

...and then the missus chipped in with "but will I be able to watch Eastenders, Jonathan Creek, Coronation Street, Big Brother, etc."

arrrrghhhh.....

Is it just me that doesn't live for TV

Having said that I have no doubt in my mind that we will be signing up for the full very expensive Foxtel package within 24 hrs of landing in Aus !

Groan.....
