      I like the SBS channel... some cool stuff on there sometimes.

      advert are crazy in Oz........ most of them are filmed on a phone camera by uni students on drugs.. crazy annoying adverts.. carpet stores that have closing down sales for decades.

      This is what Oz tv will do to you, no joke you cant resist it.....

      Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable.

      Some good some bad. I work FIFO which means I get to see day time tv. Think 30 mins blocks of someone trying to sell you a vacuum or some such crap. The plus is sbs, abc do some decent things and we get grand designs which I love and some of the better cooking shows such has Hugh FW and Heston.

      If coming to WA. Adopt Oz rules football as makes it a lot better on Thursday, Friday, saturday

      You can but it costs 'Access to BBC iPlayer content in Australia costs AU$9.49 a month, or AU$89.99 a year'
      or you can bypass that system and use a VPN or ip changer to access it for free - this may or may not be illegal though...

      Free to air tv in Australia is appalling, it's so bad it's almost an art form.
      "Never seen that/happened to me in Australia, but it I saw it/it happened to me all the time in the U.K" Please feel free to cut and paste as many times as you like.

      I have Foxtel and record all programmes as I detest Adverts especially since Foxtel is paid TV. Can also access the free to air so I also record them although a movie on Channel 7 consists of twenty minutes of ads, 5 minutes of programme, exageration, well may not lol
