I would imagine that the satellite *we* can see here would not use the same codes and therefore even if you got a signal it couldn't be unscrambled. Foxtel/Austar transmits Sky news anyway, if you can bear to watch its amateurish presentation!

I have a program called Democracy Player, which scans new release feeds for my favourite shows (UK *or* US) and automatically downloads them for me as soon as they come online. It's the wave of future ...

Right then I demand a refund
We got sky+ after specifically asking them if we could use and recieve sky in oz.
Their technical department assured me it would be possible!!!
They'll tell you owt if it means a sale

Dish sizes needed UK for ex-pats. As you can see Australia is WAY to far to get anything at all. ie not on the map
