Even more compressed bandwidth on channels that won't be watched and they can put the basic price up another $3 or so..

With the closure of MTV New Zealand Sky negotiated the introduction of Nick Jr.
And, from other discussions, RT is probably Russian Television which is an unencrypted channel on the satellite.

I guess because instead of adding channels that no one watches they could add useful content or improve the quality of current channels?

totaly agree
Sky stated they have no band width to add more HD channels but they added prime to HD for commonwealth games and a bunch of new channels
Apparently HD is equal to 4 crud vision channels
So some one telling a lot of porkies it seems!!!!!

Umm I was wondering why you would say no one would watch these channels. I know that practically any parent of young children would love Nick JNR my kids have watched it for years on Telstra's Cable TV service.

It offers parents a alternative to all the violence filled cartoons that screen on the regular Nickleodean Channel as well having several educational shows designed for young children too.

I don't have Sky and prbably never will it's just so much easier to choose which shows I want to watch locally and internationally and get them accordingly no having to wait for a few weeks or more than often several months before (or if) the screen here in NZ.

Did they kill some PPV movie channels to do so? Or do you think they created bandwidth by magic?

Nick Jr will end up being one of the most watched channels in my house. Plenty of people will be watching it.

For billions of years since the outset of time, every single one of your ancestors survived, every single person on your Mum and Dads side, successfully looked after and passed onto you life. What are the chances of that like?

And that's one of the reasons I don't have Sky. Crud channels not worth the money.. Plus one can still comment or have you become the new Sky moderator??

Nick JR is too late for us, our kids are almost teenagers. The other kids channels are watchable only half the time, rest is witches/vampires/fighting/derogative. Our kids actually choose to watch kids programmes on Shine and classic DVDs like Tom & Jerry.

Regarding picture quality, unless your HD TV is top-of-the-range with good upscaling, the best connection for SD content is s-video. It inherently is bandwidth limited (i.e. filtered) and does not have colour space issues (which you have with component video). I'm watching Sky in SD on a cheap Konka 42" HD LCD from 3m away. Sure Sky SD content is not excellent, but it is not as bad as people make it out to be. Just need the right connection. Sky over component video works fine on a CRT, but definitely not on a cheap/average HD TV. Colour space is wrong, colours bleeding, etc.

You can never have enough Volvos!

Because you NEVER ever have anything constructive to say, just bleating on how bad it is. We don't have Tivo/Freeview but I dont go over into those forums and carry on how abolutely terrible they really are. Half of NZ have Sky and most of us are VERY happy - Get over it son.
