Does any know if you can get sky news uk down here 24/7 I've seen it on sky nz before 7.30 this morning and on my motorola box the red button option show sky news uk available but there red button option does not work when I push it.  I've got a couple of linux boxs coming down and will arrive early next week but I'm missing the uk version.

The answer to your question is both yes and no. Yes Sky News International is available in this part of the world if you have appropiayte hardware, but no it's not carried on Sky TV.

The red button service also doesn't operate here, it's a MHEG5 service that's only for Australian customers.
