With the cultural cretins in the Beehive having got rid of NZ's best TV channel, the country's thinking people will be contemplating how to replace it for themselves.
The most obvious thing to do is to find good programs on the Internet: apart from free clips, there are economic paysites, for example, netflix.com offers unlimited movies, shows, documentaries for $US 8 ($NZ 10) a month, but the problem with that is NZ's slow and expensive broadband, thanks to Telecom which wants to fleece people for as much as it can. Highspeed is on the long term horizon, although it may not be any cheaper.
The next obvious thing to do is buy a satellite dish so to pick up Australia's SBS channel. And once you have that, a good system should be able to pick up broadcasts from further away, such as the French/German arte, the best channel in Europe.
The missing factor in all these is investigative NZ content, of course. It seems people will have to wait until the next election at the end of 2014 for that.
