I was going to write a facetious remark about only if you think it needs the holiday, but I wont, coz the simple and unfortunate answer is no coz it wont work there, Oz telly is very limited in comparison to whats available in the UK, but as you are going to be living an outdoor life in the sunshine you wont have time to watch the telly anyway!

Think of Oz tv as Baby Sky in its infancy ...and you wont be disappointed!

LOL!..me too! but I put my sarky head in the cupboard and decided to be helpful coz if you dont ask you will never know ... dont worry it wont last!

My ozzy husband suggested you take a sattelite dish the size of the isle of Wight with you and bounce it off other sattelites and you might just get Channel Five!

My brother took his to Oz and it works perfectly with FOXTEL. He says it is much better than the box foxtel give you.

Thanks for the replies even the sarky ones

lol. I had heard that you can use them instead of the box foxtel gives you and as I have two brand new sky boxes would be a shame not to bring them.

Brilliant news! thanks for that Carolyn (chicken clicked in thanks!) we have two here in the UK which we were just gunna dump.. will take them with us now instead. I had heard Foxtel were looking at using a similar system to Sky+ but didnt know they were already using it.
