One thing it does make me think is that Sky really don't want the NRL. If they did, they could have surely outbid such a small channel like this (I appreciate they're owned by Setanta, but I can't see that they will have paid a lot to show it on a free channel most people haven't heard of).

I'm not fussed either way. I'm just glad it's on and that it's not ESPN (since I don't pay for that). If it stays on a free channel or on Sky Sports, it's all good for me.

Are we certain the channel is actually free? I've never watched it - or ventured up to be honest as don't have ESPN or any of the Chelsea pay tv channels.

I can't big tree (not on my land) blocks the signal

Can they not move the dish or mount it on a pole?

I find it better if you use a Russian as they seem to be taller.

No I've had engineers round twice, the tree is massive as well.

I've told my brother to expect me more at weekends especially when t'Origin is on

To be fair Sky engineers are generally pretty crap! Maybe ask you neighbour if they mind have a satellite in their tree?

Didn't know Sky dishes had that problem.

I had to ask my neighbour to cut his down a little bit, he refused but he sold up a few months later, between him moving out and new owner moving in said tree was shortened, no probs at all now with signal.

I had the same problem whan sky came around to my house to install the dish. Luckily the neighbour asked us what we were looking at in the tree and when we told her the problem she let them put my dish on the side of her house!! She was a good neighbour!!!

You can watch them all on the internet anyway, but will be nice to watch some on the tele.
