No world release at same time for New Zealand.

It got to the red ratings part, and after that came up that there was a problem and to tune in to tonights one.

Does sky get a copy, or are they recieving it as they broadcast, which means more of a chance of something going wrong?

If anyone recorded it this afternoon, then need to set up another one anyway, as it just would've recorded one of those on set programs.

Well apparently the Simicast on Foxtel in Au went fine,
so whatever the problem was it appears to be NZ specific, ( hmm looks at Sky TV)

I was wondering if any other countries had issues, or just NZ.




Delete cookies?! Are you insane?!

Why didn't they just download it from torrents and show it?

The way that they work is to accept an incoming feed and then re-broadcast. The part that organises it is called the "MCR". There are heaps of steps in the process as the streams are relayed through a bunch of people. It's not just about getting a broadcast and retransmitting - they need to get sound balanced and timed-in etc. - chase people who aren't getting their feeds.

I've got a mate who is working there and will find out what happened.

They're advertising 3.35pm now at bottom of screen.

Hopefully leads to a whole lot of happier people, I just go and watch/do something else if not on.

It's only two channel sound. No 5.1, are they going backwards.

Wonder if that's what it is world wide.

They probably ended up torrenting it them selves.

Wow, stereo sound. I will be disappointed if that's what it's like tonight at 8.30.

Considering the Aussies got it just fine and dandy, can only assume its another cost cutting effort for SKy and Fellet.

I don't think this story is as great as many people think.

Far, too many characters.

It takes an age (series) for anything to happen to some characters.

The story would have been better with fewer characters!
