Hello,

I was just wondering if it is possible to receive Channel 7 Australia in New Zealand? I googled and it seems you need just a satellite, a satellite receiver, and the correct settings. Can anyone tell me specifically what I need? I currently have a LG TV with Freeview built-in plus an unused SKY satellite on the roof (i think its an Optus D1 or something).

Thanks.

The best bet is to pick up the V8 WORLD feed that TV3 uses, its still live but doesn't have any Channel 7 advertising and such.

Its a bit hit and miss, they *usually* do it on Optus D2 but at times it will be on Optus C1 and D1, also sometimes they use 4:2:2 encoding which a number of receivers can't process.

If you keep an eye on this forum link it will help find the feed when it becomes available usually within a hour or so of a race/practice/qual
