Post subject: Australian Network

I know this has been discussed, but I am getting conflicting advise.

I have satellite TV, but no Australian Network, it went missing several weeks ago, as seems to be the case for most others.

Can you somebody confirm that I have to get a new satellite box in order to get Australia Network. Some people are suggesting that I still won't get Australia Network. Only 3 weeks to go of the AFL season and I think I have to give in.

Or can I use my existing bolt box and get my existing satellite company to weave some magic?

Pretty simple. Have a look in this same forum you have posted in (Techincal-Audio Visual).

There are at LEAST 10 threads about the same.

You obviously have a fake box. Talk to Jim who will set you up with a real one.

Thanks Mat, you have a receiver with the new card that has Australia Network. It seems many are being told that you cannot watch it and that we are both liars.

I suggest they all rock up to the SHED and take a look. You can make bets Laughing

I can confirm what Mat says. I had a fake set up, replaced it with what I thought was an official system from Shanghai supplier and found the blue dream cards still gave me no Australian network. Eventually talked to Jim and now have proper green Dream card and setup with Aussie Network. Suggest talk to Jim to get back to watching the footy

I'm arsed over Aus Network these days. Should re-hook it back up, but they need to get the bloody cricket on there for some variety...

Or a proper number of League matches (four AFL matches a weekend - feck! the Mexicans get twice as many games).

I finally got an answer out of them as to why they only run 2 league matches a weekend.

Only took them 8 months to reply - what a hyper-responsive customer-centric organisation they are!

It seems they take the Channel 9 feed only. Can't seem to find Foxtel's phone number for league, only for AFL - muppets!

could have told you myself. It's because the masses just don't give a toss.

I'll give you a point for missing mat. And I love how they call it a "behind"...

AFL's alright, just not as good as league.

Jim needs to pull his Smile finger out and sort this thing.

Aussie network is only good on weekends. Your bastards have taken that off. Was it just for olympics, or is it still going to happen this weekend?

I don't own Dream TV Mat... I just get to consult to the new investors but they and I still have to deal with Dream TV for many things.

As soon as I know I will give you an answer. Hopefully by Thursday.

Nothing to do wth Olympics.

Regards

Jim

if you can't watch australia network, it will be prove that it isn't a license receiver, you can get back it by two ways below: 1. need to buy a license receiver, you will pay about rmb3800 for it. 2. you need to install a dish, you will only pay 1200rmb for it. welcome to visit our website: www.hbocn.com , china professional satellite tv provider.


The decoder with 12 months subscription is RMB3050 delivered from me not RMB3800.
