For those that missed it or want to see it all again, jump on board for the special encore of #GoSouth! The full 12hr journey will screen from 5:30am on Fri 19 April (Good Friday), & the 3hr ride will screen from 7pm later that same night. With thanks to @NZonAir 🚂#SlowSummer https://t.co/R6PezcaGU2

NZ On Air should really mandate some technical standards for shows it commissions and the way they have to be broadcast at home. It's really absurd that the only way to watch this in a decent quality is to cross your fingers and hope an illicit source is made available.

Given that no FTA channel offers HD to all the population (Freeview HD reach is only 86%), thiis really isn't practical. Additionally, the 11 shows with viewership of less than 10,000 first run viewers were on HD channels. "Of the 11 shows with the lowest first-run audiences broadcast in the year of July 31, 2018, 10 of them were shown on Māori Television in Three’s weekly Māori current affairs show." from Mediaweek.

I'm probably out of my depth when discussing how NZoA funding is setup, but there should be some requirement to have it available to view online if they're going to spend nearly $300k to fund it.

Thanks for linking the site. Not sure if I'm the only one having problems getting it to play though.

Had problems too. Wouldn't work on Chrome on OS-X for me. But then I don't normally allow any site to run Flash.

With Firefox clicking on the video I was asked if I would allow Flash to run, and allowing Flash made it work for me.

Not very 2019 of Prime...
