Hi everyone Is there an equivalent in Australia to the Sky+ / V+ box? Thanks KC

Hi anyone know if they have something like our sky plus in Oz. Thanks

Is there any point in taking Sky dish or box to Australia?? Do they work?:wacko: Thanks Sheena

Hello, bad bad day on th Oz front.... 1stly the muppet buying our flat just pulled out leaving us a little over two weeks to either find another buyer or let it out... 2ndly we had the first of our shipping companies over to quote and we found out that they will not ship our stuff until we have been granted the visa! 3rdly have spoken to my visa agent and have been told that although they were confident we should have the visa before xmas this may now not be the case as the Oz people are snowed under and the fact that my wife has a dutch passport may slow things up (don't understand why as she has lived and been educated in the uk since she was 2 and no one ever mentioned that before)... We have flights booked and an apartment in Sydney booked... the shipping is not the most problematic as we can always store it in the uk (20ft container £42 per week... not too bad)... the visa is a bummer as we will be in under the toursit visa for 3 months, if it doesn't come through in that time then we will have to vacate to NZ for a lot longer than orginaly planned / budgeted for)!! The major bummer is the bloody flat sale... renting it out sounds good but there is a whole load of stuff i will have to do to get it rentable.... no time!!!... ok... rant over... very sorry.... i do feel a bit better for it though.... sorry to be neg, i'm sure things will sort themselves out, shame it has to be a challenge though as all we want is to get to Oz! James... :sad:

Are you planning a reunion or bidding farewell to friends and family? Lion Television is producing a new feel-good reality series called Hello Goodbye, for Sky One. We are filming at Heathrow arrivals and departure lounges from now until January 2009. We hope to take a look at the lives and relationships that come together (and apart) at the airport terminals. Presenter Kate Thornton will meet and greet travellers to explore the stories of emotions bubbling in the crowds at the terminals. Perhaps you will be bidding farewell to your loved ones at the airport as you head off to study abroad or perhaps you are returning to Britain and will be saying a joyous ‘hello’ to family members at the airport. If you or someone you know is passing through Heathrow and would be willing to share your story we would love to hear from you. Please email linzi.small@liontv.co.uk or call me on 0208 846 2191 Kindest regards, Linzi Small Lion TV

Hi, I have a query to settle a current 'shall we, shalln't we' argument in our house.....has anyone taken a UK sky box and dish to Oz and been able to make use of it by picking up the UK free channels? We are in discussions as to whether to bother taking them and paying for shipment etc, but more importantly whether my OH will dare climb the ladder high enough to retrieve the dish! also, has anyone taken house phones (normal BT cordless)? if so, do they work in Oz? thanks Sam and Shaun

KILLER TOADS IN OZ .SKY 528 . 9 PM TO NIGHT.:chatterbox::chatterbox::radar:

I've recently returned to the UK from Dubai. A very good friend of mine has recently subscribed to recieve full Sky+ channels to his PC thence to a 42" plasma with brilliant results. He can record 2 programmes whilst watching 1. He overcomes the time difference by recording. I am due to come to Australia shortly and wondered whether anyone has experienced the same service? I intend to have it for when I arrive. Should anyone be interested email me and I'll forward the details. mailto:vendesi@btconnect.com:idea:

Hi guys - how can you watch footie and Brit TV in Aus - can you not get SKY or Setanta?:chatterbox:
