Hi,<br>
<br>
Has anyone noticed this or tried?<br>
<a href="http://www.freeviewshop.co.nz/forum/index.php/topic,1011.0.html" target="_blank">http://www.freeviewshop.co.nz/forum/index.php/topic,1011.0.html</a></blockquote></div><div><br>Haven't tried it (I live in Australia so get SBS anyway!) Two things I'll point out to help you:<br>
<br>SBS 3 and SBS4 are just rebroadcasts of SBS One. The only HD content that SBS One HD has ever shown in the Ashes cricket. Everything else is just upscaled from the SD channel (including all local content).<br><br>SBS broadcast in the vertical polarity, while Freeview and Sky Digital are horizontal. This means that you won't be able to use the same dish to watch SBS and a NZ satellite channel at the same time.<br>
</div></div></blockquote><div><br>AFAICT from <a href="http://www.lyngsat.com/optusd1.html">http://www.lyngsat.com/optusd1.html</a> SBS is only on the Oz beams so you'll also need a pretty big dish - it's not going to work with a Sky dish. <br>
<br>Cheers,<br>Steve<br></div></div><br>
