They should have had this a Freeview channel only seeing we are all paying for it. Looks like you have to pay for it with your taxes and then pay sky to watch it....WTF?

gather tvnz wanted it on both but sky wouldnt wear it.

so could apply the same taxpayer logic that sky used to get tvnz 6/7 on sky ie that sky subs are taxpayers too

TVNZ are paying PAY TV rights for rebroadcasting the content.

That money is going back to the NZ on Air Tax payer funded content.

Why couldn't the money go back to TVNZ to supply AC3 audio on it's HD channels on FV.

Wonder if the creation of this channel on Sky only was part of the wheeling and dealing that took place to get Prime on Freeview?

Id rather se it on both platforms than just on Sky as you have to pay to see taxpayer funded channel. Any TVNZ products should be free....

same excuse sky used about tvnz 6,7 taxpayers and them having to get a freeview box to watch taxpayers funded channels.

Well then you could argue that you had to buy a tv to see it then.....Dont need a box if you have a new tv.
Id rather buy a box than pay forever to see it.....
So it should be on both but it isnt....
