Choice TV is hardly a substitute for TVNZ7.. It's more of a sub for TVNZ and MW normal channels..

It's disappointing ChoiceTV's timekeeping is slipping and they're managing to run entirely the wrong programming in a timeslot instead of what's listed in the EPG. One item I set to record got me the wrong programme, the other almost had the end cut off.

I've also noticed the details in the EPG not matching the show - Penn & Teller aren't known for renovations
