Default SKY ONE in Auz??

Hi, can i ask which may seem a silly question, but can you get SKY ONE in Auz?? Basically i love a few programmes on there such as Dream Team and 24 and Nip/Tuck, so would be impressed if you could get it out there?, if not do they show these shows on any other Satelite Channels??

Many Thanks
Tony

Hi, just had to reply I absolutely adore nip/tuck, must be something to do with the fact that Julian McMahon is completely delish yum yum. Also love will and grace and charmed, again for the lovely julian. But I am glad that we will be able to see cutting it before we go, can we get british tv? If there is a god we will be able to tune in to our faves when we get to Oz, after all Julian is the son of an ex australian prime minister. P.S. I do have other interests.

24 and nip/tuck are on free-to-air tv, although they haven't started showing the latest series of 24

Yep, we Australians were never too sure of "Billy Big Ears" he didn't marry until later in life and it was rumoured around East Sydney that he was AC/DC and only married because he wouldn't get any further up the political tree unless he had a wife. So he married a Society Lady and then the populace wasn't too sure that someone else didn't fill her in.

The Q of Billy' predelictions hung over him long after his death.

Still that's all rumour, ain't it :-)

Sky one is basically Fox8 here. Its the 'Simpson/Futurama occasionally interupted by other american programmes' channel.

All the other stuff you mentioned is bound to be on foxtel as well. I don't watch any of that trash.

Now whens Naked News on?

Damn missed it...

Tvshows.org rang some bells, I heard some bad stuff about tvshows.org, plenty of threads in scam reports about it.

if you google tvshows or tvshows.org you come up with plenty of references to it being a scam with some weak info on how to use bit-torrent and other kazaa type sharing software to download from file sharing services.

So it would appear its a little dodgy at least, and scam at worst.

If anyone has used it with great success on here would be good to get a balanced view?.
