Speaker 1: You're listening to the Marcus Lush Nights podcast from News
Speaker 1: Talks at b.
Speaker 2: Here.
Speaker 3: Am I back in the hot seat tonight, Marcus through
Speaker 3: till twelve. On this Tuesday, the second day of the
Speaker 3: school holidays, We've got the cyclone that is now called
Speaker 3: tam It's coming our way at the top of the
Speaker 3: North Island tomorrow evening. That's the timeframe I'm going for.
Speaker 3: So that's going to be eventful by the looks of things.
Speaker 3: And by the way too, there have been wet easters before.
Speaker 3: There has been some disastrous easters in the past. Part
Speaker 3: of me feels because you know how they are all
Speaker 3: these people and they have done that hack where they've
Speaker 3: taken all those days off and they've got twelve days
Speaker 3: for three days off. Those are the people that have
Speaker 3: combined Easter with Antic weekend. And when I say combining Easter,
Speaker 3: they've taken off Easter Friday. But we all know very
Speaker 3: well to be heading to the Airbnb midday Thursday. So
Speaker 3: that's Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
Speaker 3: Saturday Sunday, and so they'll be cocker hope because they've
Speaker 3: got four days leave and they've got all those days. However,
Speaker 3: and there's this part of me that is part of
Speaker 3: me feels quite part of me feels quite happy about
Speaker 3: this in a bad way. But it seems as though
Speaker 3: it's going to be very, very wet, and some of
Speaker 3: those people will be regretting they're turning four days leave
Speaker 3: into twelve days because I'll be stuck at home playing
Speaker 3: risk with the kids, because you won't be able to
Speaker 3: go out of the tent because it'll be bucketing down.
Speaker 3: Could last for a week, could last for five days,
Speaker 3: who knows. So yeah, it's all very well looking ahead
Speaker 3: and think, oh well, I'm going to do that heck
Speaker 3: and plan that long holiday. But then you see the
Speaker 3: weather and you haven't got that flexibility, have you. Ah?
Speaker 3: I see already the air show in Marlborough has canceled.
Speaker 3: They know it's too wet for the planes to take
Speaker 3: off and and for the fog and to see them.
Speaker 3: So yeah, it's gonna be funny on easther I'm still
Speaker 3: sticking with my plan. It's just the four days off.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you about that once I've done it. But anyway,
Speaker 3: whether the rest of the family comes along, I'm not
Speaker 3: so certain, but eight hundred and eighty Teddy and nine
Speaker 3: two known, probably four things I want to broach brooch
Speaker 3: brooch today, So yeah, I'll keep you updated with Well,
Speaker 3: there's probably four topics. Firstly, too, I told you this
Speaker 3: last night, but SkyTV have switched to the brand new satellite,
Speaker 3: which I think is incredibly exciting. We're on that old
Speaker 3: satellite forever and they've switched to the new satellite because
Speaker 3: the old satellite was falling to Earth. So in the
Speaker 3: early hours of this morning, they've switched to the brand
Speaker 3: new satellite US and bluff. I've got a giant dish.
Speaker 3: We needed it because we're in the extremities. So I'm
Speaker 3: curious to know how it went for you. Is your
Speaker 3: Sky or right, let us know if you've got problems,
Speaker 3: let us know how the changeover was. I think what
Speaker 3: you're supposed to do is turn your set on and
Speaker 3: off the white box, the black box, whatever box turned
Speaker 3: those off and see what happens. That's the situation. But
Speaker 3: they're saying this huge relief skys is a small number
Speaker 3: of black and white box customers might need to reboot
Speaker 3: their machines, turn off of the wallweight for ten seconds.
Speaker 3: But D two. The Wobbly D two is Gomburger and
Speaker 3: now they're on a Korea set Korea Set six satellite
Speaker 3: switched on about four point thirty this morning. I check
Speaker 3: my TV for every good. It's crisp. It's crisper than
Speaker 3: it's ever been. Yes, So let me know how it's
Speaker 3: worked out for you. Are there any problems? Going to know?
Speaker 3: And I can probably help you with what to do
Speaker 3: and how to do it. So eight hundred and eighty
Speaker 3: ten eighty nine two nine two detext update on Sky.
Speaker 3: Love to hear a couple of those also like to
Speaker 3: hear some reports from the far north of the bad
Speaker 3: weather is showing any signs yet, Sometimes when we experience
Speaker 3: weather as a country, it's kind of hard to know
Speaker 3: who's getting what. When are there dark clouds in the north?
Speaker 3: Let me know? Is the wind picking up? I think
Speaker 3: it's mony tomorrow evening at Kickson, But some of the
Speaker 3: reporting seems to be fast down, loose, and I'm never
Speaker 3: too sure. It's called tam strong winds to the Upper
Speaker 3: North Island from Wednesday. Well, Wednesday's not far away, is it?
Speaker 3: Wednesday's only three hours forty nine aways. To get in
Speaker 3: touch about Sky and about tropical cycling TAM. It's weird
Speaker 3: because there was another tropical cycling TAM in two thousand
Speaker 3: and five. Like they've run out of names. Just quietly.
Speaker 3: But first I want to talk about sky Sky Sky
Speaker 3: Sky Sky Sky. You might get a month for free too,
Speaker 3: by the way, if they haven't got round to give
Speaker 3: you the new dish if you are in the extremities.
Speaker 3: But they're calling it a huge relief, the CEO huge relief.
Speaker 3: First off, the rank Chris Marcus, welcome.
Speaker 4: How Marcus, how are you? I've lost my TV reception.
Speaker 4: I don't have Sky, I didn't didn't have a dish.
Speaker 4: I went there's an aeriel on top of my roof,
Speaker 4: and I have a freeview box. But since always happened
Speaker 4: this morning when I went to turn the TV on tonight,
Speaker 4: I've got nothing. So I have turned the freeview box
Speaker 4: off at the wall and turned it back on again.
Speaker 4: After about I left it off about probably sorry, I've
Speaker 4: got a really bad cold. I left it off for
Speaker 4: about ten minutes or so and turned it back on,
Speaker 4: and momentarily it looked like it was going to work.
Speaker 4: But it doesn't work.
Speaker 3: And with your bad coffe, you'd want to be watching
Speaker 3: TV too, wouldn't you.
Speaker 4: I've gone to bed with the computer and I's been
Speaker 4: watching stuff on the on the computers, would be honest.
Speaker 4: So I'm not going to get out and try and
Speaker 4: to deal with it now, But if you or anyone
Speaker 4: else can suggest something that I try in the morning,
Speaker 4: I'd really like to have my TV MA.
Speaker 3: Who do you pay?
Speaker 4: Who do I pay?
Speaker 3: Do you pay? Sky?
Speaker 4: I haven't got Sky?
Speaker 3: Mm hmmm. How's the freeview arriving? Is it arriving via
Speaker 3: an aerial, not via a dish?
Speaker 4: It's arriving via an aeriel through a freeview box.
Speaker 3: Okay, as far.
Speaker 4: As I know, I've kind of walked around and tried
Speaker 4: to check all the roofline of the.
Speaker 3: Just with Just with Bed last night Chris tonight.
Speaker 4: When I tried when I went to turn it on
Speaker 4: to watch the news tonight, I couldn't get anything.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I reckon that might be stitchy.
Speaker 4: So I'm assuming that it might be something to do
Speaker 4: with I don't know all this change over stuff, and
Speaker 4: I don't.
Speaker 3: Really understand free of you. I don't understand where the
Speaker 3: aeriels picking up the signal from. But I reckon we
Speaker 3: can get someone to answer that for you. Chris.
Speaker 4: Well, that's what I was hoping.
Speaker 3: Chris to man, what have you been watching on your computer?
Speaker 4: I just watched the news and then I watched seven and.
Speaker 5: TV.
Speaker 3: You're not watching You're not watching cat videos or anything.
Speaker 6: No.
Speaker 4: I watch a lot of Netflix, Netflix, Goodness, yeah, Netflix
Speaker 4: and on demand usually because I feel pretty crop, I thought, oh,
Speaker 4: I'm just going to go to bed and listen to
Speaker 4: the radio. And I figured that you guys might be
Speaker 4: talking about this predictable might be able to help me.
Speaker 3: We will get you help, Chris. It's something I've promised
Speaker 3: callers and listeners tonight. We will help you with. I've
Speaker 3: got no idea how freeview works, but someone will know, Tony.
Speaker 3: It's Marcus. Good evening.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Hi Marcus. I'm sorry. I'm going to give you
Speaker 7: the same problem. I've actually got Freeview. It's a freeview
Speaker 7: box and it's work similar to Sky I guess, and
Speaker 7: it's through an old Sky dish and yeah, I've got
Speaker 7: the same problem. I've lost complete coverage of everything and
Speaker 7: you get something like, oh, fifteen to eighteen channels, including
Speaker 7: Sky open on there.
Speaker 3: It's just disappeared from last night.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it comes up with no signal and no video coverage,
Speaker 7: nothing or signal gone. Check your satellite, dish and cable.
Speaker 3: Have you got a Dish TV smart VU box.
Speaker 7: Yes, it's an older view box.
Speaker 8: Yes.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I know you don't know the answer, but I
Speaker 7: just thought I know confirmed.
Speaker 6: But the lady.
Speaker 7: The Lady's got people.
Speaker 3: Will people look the factors that we've established something, the
Speaker 3: factors of these two of you. Someone will know more
Speaker 3: about that. I'm googling up frantically. I can't see the answer. Yeah,
Speaker 3: there is something. I've got a Sky TV website.
Speaker 7: Yeah, all right, Well I'll wait with interest because I
Speaker 7: actually have no vision. Although although I do use TV
Speaker 7: because I like listening to Chriss programs and stuff i'd like,
Speaker 7: I'd like, I'd like to hear from anybody who does.
Speaker 3: It, says on the website. Sky Opener is available through
Speaker 3: civil providers. Sky customers can also enjoy. Okay, you keep
Speaker 3: listening and I'll do my damned as.
Speaker 9: Tony appreciate it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you can help Tony to appreciate that. I
Speaker 3: knew this would be a hot topic tonight, and it is.
Speaker 3: It's proven to be a very hot topic. By the way,
Speaker 3: don't care why people watch TV if you've got no
Speaker 3: vision or that's a fully understandable don't need to justify
Speaker 3: that to us. Seventeen past eight, Good evening, Bennett's Marcus, welcome.
Speaker 10: You get a Ben.
Speaker 11: Oh sorry, Marcus. I had the same my shoes as
Speaker 11: those other people with the Freeview, and we just rebooted
Speaker 11: the whole box. That reinstalled all the channels again and
Speaker 11: it works. So yeah, you've got to reconfigure it, because
Speaker 11: I understand the Freeview operated off the same satellite is
Speaker 11: what the Sky did.
Speaker 3: So you're watching your Freeview on a Sky dish.
Speaker 11: Yeah, through the dish, and you just need to go
Speaker 11: into the channel settings and pretty much I don't know
Speaker 11: how to explain it, that run a check for new
Speaker 11: channels and you redownload all the channels again and because
Speaker 11: of the day, were off the same satellite as the Sky.
Speaker 3: So that's on your TV remote on your TV. You
Speaker 3: go in there and re rEFInd.
Speaker 11: A freeview box, water and the freeview.
Speaker 3: If you've got so are you touched as you're doing that?
Speaker 3: Are you touching the freeview box?
Speaker 10: Well, I've got.
Speaker 11: One of those smart TV's, it's got freeview and built
Speaker 11: but she runs off the satellite.
Speaker 3: Are you using the TV? Are you touching the TV?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 11: Yeah, I'm touching the TV. So I'm reinstalling all the channels. Okay,
Speaker 11: it's on the.
Speaker 3: It's on the TV. You're doing that well with.
Speaker 11: A smart TV, like the same songs, they can run
Speaker 11: off the satellite as.
Speaker 3: Well as but you're using. It's coming up on your
Speaker 3: TV screen as you're recalibrating.
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, brilliant.
Speaker 3: Okay, nineteen past eight and it's Marcus.
Speaker 12: Good evening, Good evening, Marcus. How are you going?
Speaker 2: Good?
Speaker 10: Thing?
Speaker 13: You will?
Speaker 12: Yeah?
Speaker 14: Really?
Speaker 12: Your satellite boxes? I think you'll find that some of
Speaker 12: us need to update them.
Speaker 3: Where would you go to do that?
Speaker 12: Basically, go from your nearest electro cool store and update them.
Speaker 12: I had the same problem as everybody else, but I
Speaker 12: normally check what's on TV through the freeview TV programs
Speaker 12: and down there they have a little but to say, well,
Speaker 12: if you've got problems, tre such and such. So I
Speaker 12: did and got taken to a site which explains that
Speaker 12: the dish was taken out of action today and it's
Speaker 12: and basically advised of which satellite and which dishes will work.
Speaker 3: Okay, cutting a long story, short end, because that's just
Speaker 3: what I'm going to do. Now. Did you go to
Speaker 3: a shop and buy something?
Speaker 12: No, I didn't know about out until to night.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, because you're sounding quite knowing, because you see
Speaker 3: you see that, I am.
Speaker 12: I know what I'm going to do tomorrow. We are
Speaker 12: leaning some buy a new dish.
Speaker 3: No, no, you don't need a new a.
Speaker 12: New new it's a new freeview box.
Speaker 3: I mean how much would that be?
Speaker 12: Well, the one that you can buy a basic one
Speaker 12: for about seventy five. Apparently at the moment it's under
Speaker 12: one hundreds, very selectrical.
Speaker 3: I'm seeing one at the Warehouse for seventy nine. I'm
Speaker 3: seeing one at No Leaving for seventy five. I'm seeing
Speaker 3: one at Amazon for sixty four.
Speaker 12: Yeah, the one stat or something.
Speaker 3: Thanks for getting out there and doing that, because I
Speaker 3: see that and I just glaze everything. Where would what
Speaker 3: would you plug into where I'm sure it's not going
Speaker 3: to work?
Speaker 12: Well, I had to sit three new bots up when
Speaker 12: I got it originally, so I had all the things
Speaker 12: to find out. All I had all was papers.
Speaker 3: Sorry, okay, good on you, And do you know where
Speaker 3: it comes from?
Speaker 12: None? It was and so yep.

Speaker 15: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Does it act like a satellite dish?
Speaker 12: Yeah, and you plug.
Speaker 3: You haven't got a satellite dish? That box actually works
Speaker 3: as a satellite dish.
Speaker 12: Well, the box it's a three H box which and
Speaker 12: which you plug in? I'm not really sure how.
Speaker 3: Actually have you got a dish on the roof?
Speaker 12: I do have a dish, yes, but I soon I
Speaker 12: don't know.
Speaker 3: I go find out. People are tricky with their answers tonight,
Speaker 3: aren't they. I just like, yes, no answers about this
Speaker 3: because I don't really know what's going on with the dish.
Speaker 3: Because anyway, evening Fae.

Speaker 17: him was Sky Sky TV. Yes, we've been without Score
Speaker 17: TV for about two months now, and they've been there
Speaker 17: to fix it three times, I think, and they've got
Speaker 17: it going and it doesn't last long. We has thicknessess
Speaker 17: in here today this morning at ten o'clock. He left
Speaker 17: at twelve o'clock went off again all the time?
Speaker 3: Are you remote?
Speaker 17: Graham were in Muabile year, But but it was going,
Speaker 17: We've been here a year and it was going to
Speaker 17: write until two months ago when they started this this
Speaker 17: satellite thing. You know, can you can you.
Speaker 3: Can you just get have you got fiber?
Speaker 18: No?
Speaker 19: Okay, no, no.
Speaker 20: Yah.
Speaker 17: But it just it just goes, you know that it
Speaker 17: goes for a little while, and and then the paragraph
Speaker 17: comes up atmosphere conditions have interrupted viewing. Can't take you
Speaker 17: for viol And we've been doing it for two months
Speaker 17: and they first of all, I rang in March, the
Speaker 17: last last month, and they scheduled to come out in
Speaker 17: the sevens, and the seventh came, and then they rescheduled
Speaker 17: it to the eleventh. The elevens came, and they reskeeded
Speaker 17: it till today, and they finally came today and they
Speaker 17: fixed it for in the lasted two hours.
Speaker 3: What did they fixed? Were they on the roof within
Speaker 3: your in your living room?
Speaker 17: No, they're in the lunge and with a kid, and
Speaker 17: they tested the box and they you know, and then
Speaker 17: he said everything was awarded and he got it going
Speaker 17: and then left and then at twelve o'clock and went
Speaker 17: off working.
Speaker 3: Happened? Was there anything happened before it went off? Was
Speaker 3: the bad weather or did you do anything different?
Speaker 17: No, now we know it was doing this in the
Speaker 17: bullying weather last month.
Speaker 3: So did you ring them back?
Speaker 17: I'm always ringing on Marcus and I went on the
Speaker 17: phone for a bad half and there before someone artists
Speaker 17: and I'm awdering them and irene them. Today at twelve
Speaker 17: o'clock when it went off, Yes, and see your technician
Speaker 17: letter ten o'clock was going good. Same things happened. It's
Speaker 17: gone off again. And they said after a while, they said, well,
Speaker 17: the nearest treek you do is the second the.
Speaker 3: Mate ah, for goodness sake, Yeah, it's really yeah, shocking
Speaker 3: duck shooting. Since that's amazing, Okay, okay, well you stay
Speaker 3: in touch with us. We'll see if it because I
Speaker 3: can't work out why they would do that, but I
Speaker 3: know some sky technicians listen as well, Graham, so find
Speaker 3: out what we can do. Because yeah, but if anyone
Speaker 3: can tell me about the about the freeview I'd like
Speaker 3: to know about that because I presume if you've got
Speaker 3: freeview of the freeview box, you're still getting it on
Speaker 3: the old dish. Is that right, yeah, Peter, Marcus, welcome.
Speaker 4: You can leave me.
Speaker 2: Marcus, and even to your listeners, oh yeah too, right
Speaker 2: now without the newby lot exactly. Hey, listen for me.
Speaker 2: Four of my friends have got free free right, don't
Speaker 2: have sky, and they all rang me and and they've
Speaker 2: had the saved the problem as well. But my sky
Speaker 2: went down at six eighteen pm tonight. And what I
Speaker 2: did is that I unplugged it from the wall, went
Speaker 2: and got me tea prepared, sat down about half an
Speaker 2: hour ladder, put them on the wall again and everything
Speaker 2: came back on. And that gentleman who rang before me,
Speaker 2: I were so bloody sorry for him.
Speaker 17: And perhaps you should plug.
Speaker 2: It from the wall for about five ten minutes, pop
Speaker 2: it back interest if it goes again. But it sounds
Speaker 2: like to me the dishes the dish may be set wrong,
Speaker 2: and I could be depletely wrong, you know, because that
Speaker 2: shouldn't do that. Marcus.
Speaker 3: You know how all those people rang you about their freeview?
Speaker 3: Are you a sky technician?
Speaker 10: No?
Speaker 2: No, no, why are they're bringing you? Because I've got
Speaker 2: sky and I want to know if my sky was
Speaker 2: down and said at the time, I was up up
Speaker 2: and running and at six eighteen, it went down and
Speaker 2: at six forty two I plugged it.
Speaker 21: Back in the wall and.
Speaker 2: I've still got it.
Speaker 3: The question is that Sky or just freeview.
Speaker 2: Sky for me and my friends have got free to
Speaker 2: wear and they can't get anything. And I thought that
Speaker 2: it's it's all very well putting this new satellite up,
Speaker 2: but do they cater for those people who.
Speaker 3: They're not paying any money for it? It's called freevious
Speaker 3: the Sky's there's no skin in the game for Sky.
Speaker 8: Is there?
Speaker 2: It was just not the point. The point is point.
Speaker 3: But Sky is a private company.
Speaker 22: Oh it is two years.
Speaker 19: But people who who.
Speaker 2: Don't have Sky, and it sounds like a lot of
Speaker 2: them are rugging into your program. Yeah, they can't get it,
Speaker 2: and I feel bloody sorry for them.
Speaker 3: So the question when you've got freeview, right, Pete, you
Speaker 3: know they still need to dache.
Speaker 2: I've heard this sometime today and I said, look, I
Speaker 2: couldn't tell you some people. Some people say you do,
Speaker 2: anothers say you don't. So I don't know what.
Speaker 3: Because I don't know how else it's coming. I guess
Speaker 3: you're an old school area. But you need a freeview
Speaker 3: box for seventy nine dollars.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's modern technology.
Speaker 3: We're not that modern because you know, you know, satellites
Speaker 3: aren't modern because it's only for the cowcockies and the
Speaker 3: country that want their rugby because most people are on
Speaker 3: fiber or cable. They get it straight inside the house,
Speaker 3: down the pipe.
Speaker 23: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I just can't make out why these the the the
Speaker 2: people who don't have sky effective that.
Speaker 3: The thing is amazed me because it comes from the satellite.
Speaker 2: You've got gone on the days we just plugged the
Speaker 2: lly and away you go.
Speaker 3: Exactly.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 3: I liked an aeriel. I was a big fan of
Speaker 3: an aeriel because you felt your had something now that
Speaker 3: was And I remember on TV there used to be
Speaker 3: aired celebrating the transmitters that sort of sing them by name.
Speaker 3: They talked that, the talk about the big one in
Speaker 3: the white tackles forget it was called, and the yeah
Speaker 3: it was yeah, oh yeah. I got nostalgia for that.
Speaker 3: What happened to me, Peter, Peter, you don't happen to me?
Speaker 3: Sky wrung. They rang me right and they said, could
Speaker 3: we please give you a bigger dish because we're because
Speaker 3: we are so remote, right, yes, And they came down
Speaker 3: the bluff and they replaced everyone's dish with one that's
Speaker 3: twice as big. Okay, but using the same.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm in christ Rich and those people or that
Speaker 2: chap you before me. Where was he calling from?
Speaker 3: How would you know? The regional extents. The regional accents
Speaker 3: aren't strong enough these days, are they. I think he's
Speaker 3: legs Beach. I think he's munga fire legs Beach. Did
Speaker 3: he say I'll pass?
Speaker 2: But if he's in the Wop wops he might pay
Speaker 2: him to get a big dish.
Speaker 3: You can't. It's just for special people in the extremities
Speaker 3: that need the big dish twice as big.
Speaker 2: Oh okay.
Speaker 3: I'm just impressed you had full friends that phoned you
Speaker 3: about that. I'm liking that, and I thought, well, I'm
Speaker 3: no technicians. No, it sounds like you could be Peter.
Speaker 3: Nice to talk, Thank you. Twenty two away from nine

Speaker 24: confess that I leave a lot of the television side
Speaker 24: of it, because he watched him and DAWs watches sport. Yes,
Speaker 24: so I said to this particular person, excuse me, who
Speaker 24: are you because you thought it was a scam? Yes,
Speaker 24: so I perceive did to tell them in a very
Speaker 24: very gruff voice, don't bother you're not sending one in.
Speaker 24: Do not think that you're going to approach my home
Speaker 24: because you're nothing but a scam. And of course this poor.
Speaker 13: Woman and.
Speaker 24: I basically proceeded to give them a pedigree and don't
Speaker 24: bother calling again, and they proceeded because they kept saying
Speaker 24: that that we've sent you an email. I said, no,
Speaker 24: you haven't.
Speaker 25: I would have.
Speaker 24: Seen that email, so don't even go there. So they
Speaker 24: proceeded to contact my husband two days later, who had
Speaker 24: because the email had not been sent and had not
Speaker 24: been received until the day that. They called my husband
Speaker 24: because they had his phone number as well, and he
Speaker 24: assured me it's not a scam, and I haven't bothered
Speaker 24: watching TV. The only thing I've watched today is a
Speaker 24: bit of the news, but it's all gruff news, so
Speaker 24: I'm not even worried about it.
Speaker 3: So were they were they emailing to come and fix
Speaker 3: your TV?
Speaker 24: Yeah, they wanted to install a specific part on the
Speaker 24: sky satellite, which means they had to get up onto
Speaker 24: the top of our roof. Wow, and I went, I
Speaker 24: don't think so, don't even bod coming in my house.
Speaker 3: That's funny. Well that was resolved though, because your husband
Speaker 3: went they had the wherewith or to contact your husband.
Speaker 3: Is that right?
Speaker 24: And he told he basically said to me, calm the farm.
Speaker 24: This is not a scam.
Speaker 3: No, it's quite because most people, the iron is, most people,
Speaker 3: for love nor money, can't get in touch with Sky
Speaker 3: get in touch with a service person. You've had someone contacted.
Speaker 24: You, Yeah, but they failed to actually send out the
Speaker 24: email correspond with the phone call, and I went, I
Speaker 24: don't think so go away.
Speaker 3: It's a good laugh. We have enjoyed that. Thank you,
Speaker 3: John Marcus, welcome, Hi John.
Speaker 21: Where you go ahead, Michael, John, thank you the other
Speaker 21: than my range. We're traveling around the country on a
Speaker 21: whole day in a caravan and up until yesterday, every
Speaker 21: it was working fine. And the satellite dish. Now when
Speaker 21: it searches the channel three, which is a free view,
Speaker 21: it pauses on it for about thirty seconds and it
Speaker 21: continues to go around the circles like get lost. So
Speaker 21: we've been getting for the last two and a half
Speaker 21: months watching TV.
Speaker 10: No trouble at all.
Speaker 3: Hang on, how does it work in the caravan? Do
Speaker 3: you have to twist it round a dish?
Speaker 26: We were a dish, slight dish.
Speaker 21: Oh yeah, the TV has come to a head like this, right,
Speaker 21: so we can watch it, no problem at all. But
Speaker 21: tonight we watched TV three News, which I put on
Speaker 21: in advance, and consequently it lines up and says yet
Speaker 21: we're here for about thirty seconds and it continues to
Speaker 21: search and it goes off and on and off and on.
Speaker 21: It won't won't on, This won't lock on for a
Speaker 21: length of time. Okay, we have we have wireless tea.
Speaker 21: We have a preview box and through that we can
Speaker 21: watch Netflix withths and pieces. So we're going to smiss
Speaker 21: the smart TV in the caravan. So I presume we can.
Speaker 21: Actually there must be an app somewhere along the line
Speaker 21: that you can watch three three the air through an app.
Speaker 3: Yeah, sure, I'm sure there is, but no one, no.
Speaker 21: One's advisors and information on this.
Speaker 3: But when you're in a car, when you're in a caravan,
Speaker 3: can you twist your dish from inside the caravan? We
Speaker 3: have to get on the roof to a line which
Speaker 3: hids north does it?
Speaker 21: It's automatic, it's a surgery. There's some manual ones, but
Speaker 21: most ones are automatically. They search around that locks on
Speaker 21: and for the last eighteen months or those more than that,
Speaker 21: the last only four or five years. With the James addition,
Speaker 21: it's locked on perfectly all the time.
Speaker 3: Where's your caravan now?
Speaker 23: John?
Speaker 3: Where are you? We're we're in Christis, oh yeah, on holiday?
Speaker 21: Yeah yeah, yeah, cruising around here?
Speaker 3: Four months here you come, if you come down, if
Speaker 3: you come down the South Island Way, come down bluff.
Speaker 21: We haven't got that far. We've been down as far
Speaker 21: as the need. Yeah, and now we spend probably two
Speaker 21: and a half three months in cince Otaga each year.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, do you pick fru?
Speaker 27: No?
Speaker 21: No, no, no, we're we're we're older. We're retirees.
Speaker 27: Mate.
Speaker 3: I thought they wanted the thought they wanted the retirees
Speaker 3: to pick the fruit because they're reliable.
Speaker 21: I think so, yes, yes, I could be. We ride
Speaker 21: mountain bikes and ride real trails, and.
Speaker 3: Some people not e bikes that way, John, Oh.
Speaker 21: Goodness, the only reason that you have e bikes good
Speaker 21: e bikes, great trees and fours and the good stuff.
Speaker 3: Okay, good idea. Hi Kathy, it's Marcus, welcome.
Speaker 18: Hello. I have spent the whole day trying to get
Speaker 18: my sky working. It was working perfectly last night. This
Speaker 18: morning at six o'clock, I thought, great, I put it on.
Speaker 18: No signal, I thought, damn. Anyway, I went to work,
Speaker 18: came back about twelve, still no signal, So I thought
Speaker 18: I will ring up sky and unfortunately they don't have
Speaker 18: an eight hundred number. You've now got to do an
Speaker 18: nine number, which you pay for. I managed to get
Speaker 18: through after a lot of probably AI discussions in that,
Speaker 18: and I was told I had a forty eight minute wait.
Speaker 18: I thought, blow that for a game of soldiers. I
Speaker 18: then rang my friend, who I haven't got into this
Speaker 18: or anything, and she tried to get through and help me,
Speaker 18: and lo and behold she got cut off halfway through
Speaker 18: someone trying to get help. Anyway, A couple of hours later,
Speaker 18: I did actually manage to get through, and I have
Speaker 18: ordered a new black sky Box to come. The thing is, though,
Speaker 18: the black the Black Box that I've got is a
Speaker 18: T one hundred box, and I think that's what is
Speaker 18: calling causing the problem with people not being able to
Speaker 18: receive sky You need the newer black Box, which is
Speaker 18: T one oh one.
Speaker 3: Wow, So why did you order the old one?
Speaker 18: Then I didn't. I ordered a new one.
Speaker 3: Okay, so you think you'd you think you've ordered the
Speaker 3: right one.
Speaker 18: Oh, yes I have. But what really annoyed me was
Speaker 18: a couple of months ago when all this huh started.
Speaker 18: I rang them up and I said I was having problems,
Speaker 18: and the guys came out and they just got up
Speaker 18: on the sky dish and they just beefed up the
Speaker 18: reception on it and it was going great. It went
Speaker 18: from I think thirty to about seventy. But now I've
Speaker 18: got Nader. But never mind. Hopefully with this new sky
Speaker 18: box that will work. And down in christ Church we've
Speaker 18: got to get farther anyway, so I'll just get broadband
Speaker 18: and hopefully my sky will work in a month or
Speaker 18: so's time.
Speaker 3: When are they bringing the new box round.
Speaker 18: A well, because of the esther holidays, they said, probably
Speaker 18: Tuesday or Wednesday.
Speaker 3: Oh so you're not asking for a month's free sky.
Speaker 18: Oh look, I just think, Look, I just can't be
Speaker 18: bothered because you get from pillarsive posts, and I thought,
Speaker 18: blow it.
Speaker 7: Just have to suck it out.
Speaker 3: Well, I'll be curious though, how it works out for you.
Speaker 18: Yes, I will let you know. In fact, I went
Speaker 18: to TV in Z and sort of told them what
Speaker 18: I had to I had and I rang up the
Speaker 18: press and I rang up the start. I thought, well,
Speaker 18: I've got to do something, and now I'm ringing you.
Speaker 3: Who spoke to you at TV and Z Other than
Speaker 3: that they'd be interested.
Speaker 18: A very nice girl she came down and she sort
Speaker 18: of took the details.
Speaker 3: You going to the office.
Speaker 18: Yeah, the one in BA I think it's Bath Street,
Speaker 18: christ Church. You know there's packents, say one side of
Speaker 18: the street, and then there's a TV in Z place.
Speaker 3: Opposite, So you went to there to tell them.
Speaker 18: Yes, because there I think there was a there was
Speaker 18: a thing on TV. I think In said about the
Speaker 18: skyter fluffle. Anyway, about a month or so ago.
Speaker 3: What did she see interested the woman that came downstairs
Speaker 3: at Bath Street.
Speaker 18: Well, she said to me, look, she said, thank you
Speaker 18: for that, and we'll let you and we will follow
Speaker 18: up if anyone else complained. So it can only do
Speaker 18: so much. But I thought they sort of they needed
Speaker 18: to know. I haven't got access.
Speaker 3: Is it anything to do with Sky with TV inzed.
Speaker 18: No, But the point was that on TV and Z
Speaker 18: they ran the story about how dreadful the new Sky
Speaker 18: satellite has been and you know, disruptives to people, and
Speaker 18: I just thought that just might have been an interesting Well.
Speaker 3: They might have seen the reporter down, they might have
Speaker 3: seen guying or someone down to talk to you.
Speaker 18: Well, I don't know about that, but I mean it
Speaker 18: sounds like I'm not the only one.
Speaker 3: Who go it, doesn't It seems as though they put
Speaker 3: the news Tadlite in this morning. It seems to have
Speaker 3: gone very well apart from people with freeview. I beg
Speaker 3: your pardon? Did you say? You know you have proper Sky,
Speaker 3: don't you?
Speaker 18: I do have proper Sky? Yes?
Speaker 3: What are you watching?
Speaker 18: I'm listening to the radio.
Speaker 3: What do you watch on Sky?
Speaker 18: What do I watch on Sky? I absolutely love a
Speaker 18: great little English show called The Good Ship Murder, which
Speaker 18: is brilliant Coronation Street here, take it or leave it?
Speaker 18: Death in Paradise, good quality English programs. But there was
Speaker 18: also a very good Canadian program called Ghosts, which is
Speaker 18: similar to the English program Ghosts, and it's very very funny.
Speaker 3: Who's the lead in that one?
Speaker 28: Oh?
Speaker 18: I can't think. I really can't think.
Speaker 3: But I mean I think she might be a Kiwi.
Speaker 18: Yes she might be too. Yeah, well, sorry to what?
Speaker 3: But I enjoyed Ghosts myself. Kathy?
Speaker 22: Thank you?
Speaker 3: What a blow for you? Kathy?
Speaker 29: Thank you?
Speaker 3: Oh wait one hundred eighty ten. Well that's interesting, isn't it.
Speaker 3: It's anything but fancy going down to TV. Indeed, like
Speaker 3: in person, i'd mind that it's old school Marcus. Thousands
Speaker 3: of old freeview boxes won't work anymore for today. Where
Speaker 3: we were all told months ago was in the news.
Speaker 3: Here is the news link. Then people need to go
Speaker 3: and buy a new one won't work on the new satellite.
Speaker 3: The bro Hamish, do I know you, Hamish? I like
Speaker 3: the way you will tell me about yourself. Hamish, I
Speaker 3: feel I might You might be an old pal. This
Speaker 3: is from Brianna in February. Older version of the Freeview
Speaker 3: set top boxes will stop working in April, but there's
Speaker 3: an easy way to check if yours will still work.
Speaker 3: From April, Freeview will be broadcasting using a new satellite
Speaker 3: that uses DVVBS two technology, but thousands of hundreds of
Speaker 3: Feebe boxeres don't support that broadcasting standard. They need to
Speaker 3: be replaced. So you have been warned. I knew it
Speaker 3: was going to be a cavalcade of calls about that,
Speaker 3: and there was you can dance by the way the cycling.
Speaker 3: Now is the time to cancel your holiday. It's going
Speaker 3: to be a east. It's going to be a disaster,
Speaker 3: not in the South. I don't know. So we were
Speaker 3: all warned, and I said last night there's going to
Speaker 3: be trouble today, and there has been, but most of
Speaker 3: the trouble is not with Sky people. It's for people
Speaker 3: with free view and they need a new free view box.
Speaker 3: You go to an old Leaming or Harvey Norman or
Speaker 3: other shop with two names, you ask for a freeview box.
Speaker 3: You get home and Gosh knows what you do? You
Speaker 3: feft around. I would imagine, and that should do it.
Speaker 3: It's going to cost you seventy nine bucks. And that's
Speaker 3: the answer. What that actual new freeview box does, I
Speaker 3: don't know. It must decode what comes in through the
Speaker 3: satellite and makes it fit to go into your TV.
Speaker 3: So and I don't know what's on freeview. I think
Speaker 3: there's Sky Open TV one is a mother stand against.
Speaker 3: That's the situation. If anyone has any remaining questions about that,
Speaker 3: then that's of use to me because I can actually
Speaker 3: use that to get other calls to people that can
Speaker 3: help you out. So anyone got any other questions about that?
Speaker 3: Someone says Walter says flu over to the hs CC
Speaker 3: concert the Power Station last week. Indeed the greatest cover
Speaker 3: band ever. Now I believe Walter is from Tonga, and
Speaker 3: I do know about the a little bit about the
Speaker 3: HSCC because they've popped up on my feed they are
Speaker 3: a cover band from Adelaide, the Hindley Street Country Club.
Speaker 3: They're all right, but do you want to go and
Speaker 3: see a cover band? Really did they do? Journeys don't
Speaker 3: stop believing they didn't do that? That's the song people
Speaker 3: want to hear, especially if you're a small town girl
Speaker 3: living in a lonely world and you take the midnight train.
Speaker 3: That's the song you. I actually happened to hear the
Speaker 3: choir does it for sythe bar on the weekend? That's right,
Speaker 3: And there's a group of mainly women that's saying they're choir.
Speaker 3: That's sang songs. They sung Journey don't stop but very good.
Speaker 4: It was too.
Speaker 3: Brought them great joy. You could sit on the faces
Speaker 3: the singers. Boy oh boy did they enjoy that. But
Speaker 3: Journey was their banger. Ellison, it's Marcus welcome.
Speaker 30: I haven't got freeview, but I think the transmission was
Speaker 30: only off about half an hour in christ Church from
Speaker 30: about four quarter past four, and it was back on
Speaker 30: again before five o'clock because I was actually had a
Speaker 30: tape taking something and it went off halfway through. But
Speaker 30: so I actually you was going to be happening, and
Speaker 30: it was off for a very short time really, and
Speaker 30: I'm a surprise that came on and with no problems really,
Speaker 30: And I must admit I have criticized Guy in the past,
Speaker 30: but I did email them. I thought, well, they ever
Speaker 30: answer my emails about some programs over Easter. I've got
Speaker 30: some mid summer murders going to three days continuously for
Speaker 30: a marathon. I emailed and the one what happens to
Speaker 30: all the other programs during that time? And they did
Speaker 30: get back to me and answer my query. So I
Speaker 30: have to say that the Sky are very prompt at
Speaker 30: answering correspondence.
Speaker 3: Now that what was happening to the other programs, well, they.
Speaker 30: Shove them off to the next week. All the Omnibusses
Speaker 30: that would normally show this weekend, they put them forward
Speaker 30: to the following weeks. They're going to be a week
Speaker 30: behind for the rest of the year, I suppose then,
Speaker 30: but it's just you just have to know ahead of time. Otherwise,
Speaker 30: did have to watch the programs during this week I
Speaker 30: watch Omnibusses quite a lot where they have the five
Speaker 30: four episodes all running, and they've taken them all off
Speaker 30: for this weekend and put this three days of the
Speaker 30: Midsummer Murders continuously running for the three days continue.
Speaker 3: Well, I guess in the UK they don't screen Coronation
Speaker 3: Street and east Enders on those private colleges. It would
Speaker 3: seem disrespectful. I suppose do you watch Brookside or Emmerdale?
Speaker 27: No?
Speaker 30: I watch EastEnders. East End is the one that was
Speaker 30: go is queering because that's the one that's the omnibus. No,
Speaker 30: I don't watch those ones. I will only watch EastEnders.
Speaker 30: So they are going to play it the following week,
Speaker 30: but it's going to be a week behind them because
Speaker 30: the rest of the year. I suppose Pecures are going
Speaker 30: to have to catch up somehow. I just thought maybe
Speaker 30: they're going to put it in somewhere else, but they're
Speaker 30: not going to slat it and they're just going to
Speaker 30: put it on the following week. So I thought it out.
Speaker 3: Is dot Cotton still is Dot Cotton still going strong?
Speaker 3: And his standards?
Speaker 12: No?
Speaker 30: No, no, she she died in real life. No, she's
Speaker 30: right about two a couple of years ago.
Speaker 3: No, it's heartbreaking. I love Dot Cotton died in real life.
Speaker 3: Wayne at s Marcus welcome.
Speaker 22: Hello Marcus. People with a dish sip box sorried mine
Speaker 22: the other day, and you go and if they don't
Speaker 22: get it, when they pull the plug out and put
Speaker 22: it back in again and nothing happened, So they don't
Speaker 22: get nothing. Go into the menu and I'll come up
Speaker 22: in installation scroll push that okay, push it out, push
Speaker 22: that button okay. Then it'll bring it down into a
Speaker 22: blind scin and I advise people to do a blind
Speaker 22: skin Okay, they might pick everything up.
Speaker 3: And that and and that might prove their existing their
Speaker 3: existing uh free V box will be all right. Otherwise
Speaker 3: they've got to go and buy a new one.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 22: Well they said a few months back that if you
Speaker 22: can't get channel twenty ELCAZEA or something, yeah, you have
Speaker 22: to go and get a new box. And I don't
Speaker 22: get Elcaza, and I've got mine all tuned up and
Speaker 22: to all the freeboot channels by that Alcaza.
Speaker 3: Oh so you're just happy, You're just happy just going
Speaker 3: on with that Alcaza.
Speaker 22: Yeah, you know what on a Sunday night at seven
Speaker 22: o'clock country killing that don't That's all I watch nothing else.
Speaker 3: So you don't need a new box.
Speaker 22: Well, I'm happy with what I got. I can see
Speaker 22: if Alcaze.
Speaker 3: It's twenty brilliant. Thirteen past eight nine. Sky in Z
Speaker 3: didn't form customers they may need a new skybox after
Speaker 3: the changeover to satellite. Well I did anyway, just saying
Speaker 3: people have got busy lives. I have two TVs in
Speaker 3: my house and both of them have Freeview built on
Speaker 3: the TV A U h if Eeriel on my roof,
Speaker 3: no dish, I get perfect twenty seven channels Gee channel Bragger.
Speaker 3: I also had no picture on my TV's a Corimandel area.
Speaker 3: I googled it and if your freeview boxes as older
Speaker 3: mineus thirty years old, you have to update it because
Speaker 3: Freeview is updated their system. Pitty they didn't let us
Speaker 3: know this earlier than today. Well they did many a time.
Speaker 3: They were saying I've got articles to prove it. Marcus
Speaker 3: might pay then email Freeview and ask them if they
Speaker 3: piggybacked on Sky's satellite. That would explain Freeview crashing. Marcus,
Speaker 3: you can get a Freeview app now, as well as
Speaker 3: three now fast facts. Older Freeview set top boxes don't
Speaker 3: work from April due to the satellite change. Boxes currently
Speaker 3: unable to receive sky Open or Al Jazeera channels will
Speaker 3: be the ones that don't work. It's likely the change
Speaker 3: and satellite will largely effect customers in rural and provincial areas.
Speaker 3: Older versions of the Freeview set top boxes will stop
Speaker 3: working in April, but there's an easy way to check
Speaker 3: if yours will still work. From April, Freeview will be
Speaker 3: broadcasting using a new satellite that uses DVBS two technology,
Speaker 3: but hundreds, if not thousands, of Freeview boxes do not
Speaker 3: support that broadcasting standard. Why don't you try Leathfield Beach
Speaker 3: for power outage only been about three hours in counting.
Speaker 3: Tell Graham from mang Ar five if he has a
Speaker 3: white skybox, it's useless if you haven't got fiber. I
Speaker 3: had trouble I don't have fiber and went through fourth
Speaker 3: white boxes until the technician came out and explained this.
Speaker 3: Went back to the black box with no problems from Suzanne.
Speaker 3: You need the all brand. Oh, get in touch. If
Speaker 3: you want to talk. Everyone says funny things with texts.
Speaker 3: Don't the We've become it's deragoon now to just text,
Speaker 3: even if your text is not interesting, Like, what's the
Speaker 3: problem There's nothing on TV anyway apart from sport. Well
Speaker 3: you might think that, but that go on to watch
Speaker 3: country calendar. Alison wants to watch the omnibus. Yeah, there's
Speaker 3: it's the horses for Courses. I get sick of people
Speaker 3: begging TV because you know, they've been begging for eighty
Speaker 3: years saying there's nothing to watch, but people enjoy it
Speaker 3: provides company. It's not my jam, but you know, I'm
Speaker 3: at work in the evenings. Oh it's good evening. Fayett's
Speaker 3: Marcus welcome.
Speaker 31: Yeah, Hi Marcus, Hi, Faith Bye. I'm just ringing up
Speaker 31: to say that we haven't had Sky TV now for
Speaker 31: ten days.
Speaker 4: We tried.
Speaker 3: You might have just turned your radio off. There is
Speaker 3: just causing a little bit of anxiety in the background.
Speaker 3: That's cool, yep o.
Speaker 31: Turn it off.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 31: We've tried and tried and tried to get somebody out
Speaker 31: the Sex our sky and they tell us that there's
Speaker 31: no sky person on the west coast of the South Island.
Speaker 3: Oh yes, they come from Nelson.
Speaker 31: Oh okay. So like there's been people here that have
Speaker 31: waited over a month to get to get this sky
Speaker 31: back online. And my partner is ready to just crash
Speaker 31: guy and say goodbye to it. We use it in
Speaker 31: our motor home, we use it in our Latin. You know,
Speaker 31: we haven't had well, we haven't had sky on our
Speaker 31: TV now for ten days, and it's pretty quiet here
Speaker 31: at night without the TV going. But I've rung over
Speaker 31: five or six times and they just can't give us
Speaker 31: any time that we can get a technician to our home.
Speaker 31: And on the West Coast are.
Speaker 3: You I'll say some towns and you say, if you're
Speaker 3: north or south of them, Hokatika.
Speaker 31: Where inky you might be?
Speaker 19: Yeah?
Speaker 3: So yeah, like what's your husband? What's your husband doing
Speaker 3: in the evening now there's no TV? Is he out
Speaker 3: in the shed?
Speaker 31: He's a great reader?
Speaker 3: Oh brilliant? What's he read everything?
Speaker 20: Oh?
Speaker 31: I don't even ask.
Speaker 3: You know, that's good, You'll be happy with it. He
Speaker 3: could spend that one hundred a week, one hundred a
Speaker 3: month on books.
Speaker 31: Well, yeah, you know, I love TV. I've had some
Speaker 31: illnesses where I can't get out, so I sort of
Speaker 31: rely on the TV. And going back six seven months ago,
Speaker 31: if our guy broke down, we could get a person
Speaker 31: here with him two three days, but I've all vanished.
Speaker 3: You think they'd be able to get someone to make
Speaker 3: them the contractor for the West Coast because I'm sure
Speaker 3: when you've got places like further down like Friends and
Speaker 3: Fox Glassy with hotels there with people want to watch
Speaker 3: Sky over even I guess they'll have the fiber though,
Speaker 3: but yeah, I reckon. Probably there should be someone that
Speaker 3: could set up on the coast and becau. It's a
Speaker 3: big yeah, it's it could be a good business for
Speaker 3: someone there.
Speaker 25: Big.
Speaker 18: It's a big area.
Speaker 21: I mean, I knew.
Speaker 31: I heard of a lady on Facebook that waited for
Speaker 31: well over a month and she was in Ross, just
Speaker 31: south of Tokyo, Oh and Andy, and she just cut
Speaker 31: Sky totally. She said, you know, over a month waiting
Speaker 31: for a technician. It didn't happen. And that's scary to
Speaker 31: think that we could wait a month before we get
Speaker 31: TV again.
Speaker 3: There's not a lot else to do in Ross. I
Speaker 3: suppose it's the squash club.
Speaker 31: Yeah, it's a pretty quiet little town, nice.
Speaker 3: Little, nice little tail. But you want something to do
Speaker 3: in the evening, wouldn't.
Speaker 31: You, Well, yes, yeah absolutely, but that's fine.

Speaker 4: They are.
Speaker 14: They're very helpful.
Speaker 16: You know.
Speaker 3: Most of the problems today seem to be with people
Speaker 3: with Freeview, and of course they're not Sky customers are
Speaker 3: getting it for free, so there's no money in the
Speaker 3: freeview people are there?
Speaker 5: Okay?
Speaker 3: You are you technically? Are you technically inclined?
Speaker 23: Not very well? I know when I set the new
Speaker 23: box up, the amazing here, and.
Speaker 3: I just don't know how a freeview box works. No,
Speaker 3: could you make something up?

Speaker 3: good evening to you.
Speaker 20: Oh, yes, good evening, Macus. I'm just wondering. I wasn't
Speaker 20: listening earlier, but I was wondering if those people had
Speaker 20: travel with the TV or the area or something, because
Speaker 20: I've had sign on my TV tonight something about the
Speaker 20: areel and then I yep, so I wasn't too sure.
Speaker 20: But am I supposed to you know the dish, the
Speaker 20: dish that you have up? Yeah, I just sort of
Speaker 20: went out and didn't want to go. Yeahs that other
Speaker 20: people went having the same.
Speaker 3: Problems, or Diane, do you have Sky or just free View?
Speaker 20: I just have playing TV in one of those little
Speaker 20: boxes underneath yep, yep, that had to be connected up
Speaker 20: some years ago.
Speaker 3: So you've got TV one, two, three, MOLDI, TV, Bravo
Speaker 3: and the Shine and Al Jazeera those sorts of channel.
Speaker 26: To day one and two.
Speaker 20: I don't have time to watch all those other things
Speaker 20: because I'm usually doing music in between or something. Yep.
Speaker 3: So I imagine you've got freeview.
Speaker 20: Yes, that's that box thing yet yeah? So and then
Speaker 20: that's the dish the TV. There was a notice on
Speaker 20: it the TV tonight. But I might try flicking the
Speaker 20: main switch off and see if it comes on again otherwise. Yeah,
Speaker 20: I don't know whether the freeviews that's that little box thing,
Speaker 20: isn't it.
Speaker 3: Yes, So you've got to satellite dish on your TV,
Speaker 3: haven't you?
Speaker 20: No said dishes out on there?
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you gotta sell like dish on your roof
Speaker 3: and the roof yeah yeah yeah, the roof roof. Okay,
Speaker 3: I'm on the website now right, yep. Are you tuned
Speaker 3: in through a satellite dish?
Speaker 28: Yes?
Speaker 3: Click here if you're tuned in through a satellite dish. Ah,
Speaker 3: have you lost all channels?
Speaker 20: I don't know. I macked around it that.
Speaker 3: We didn't back around it.
Speaker 20: Yeah, yeah, I tried to. I pushed the notice kept
Speaker 20: coming on the thing and stayed there. Then I macked
Speaker 20: around and I thought, well try channel too, But if
Speaker 20: you usually got to do something else and the yellow
Speaker 20: comes out, and then at chells your which channels are pushed,
Speaker 20: you know, And I didn't do that because I just
Speaker 20: end up using one channel.
Speaker 10: You know.
Speaker 20: I liked last night's program that was the two those
Speaker 20: people in France doing up the house.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they always.
Speaker 20: Yeah, that's one of my favorite programs. Yeah, yes, it is.
Speaker 3: Most TVs and satellit boxes will continue working after this update. However,
Speaker 3: some satellite boxes have lasted many years and run on
Speaker 3: out dick data technology, which won't work with the transmission
Speaker 3: from the new satellite. There aren't many of these oldest
Speaker 3: boxes left. If you have one, it's time to upgrade.
Speaker 3: This is chicky box.
Speaker 20: Yes, my box is.
Speaker 5: Oh yes, what's it?
Speaker 3: Say?
Speaker 20: Well, I can't see anything now because I've marked it out,
Speaker 20: going trying.
Speaker 3: To Is there a name on the is it called
Speaker 3: a dish? TV? Is seven zero nine? Is this something
Speaker 3: written on it?
Speaker 33: Yeah?
Speaker 20: No, there's not At the moment, I switch on the something.
Speaker 3: Written on the actual box.
Speaker 20: On the box inside there. I'll just go and have
Speaker 20: a lot more because I probably can't see it at
Speaker 20: night time because I have yellow a yellow shade because
Speaker 20: it stops moving getting migraines. I keep my lights sort
Speaker 20: of slightly yellow.
Speaker 4: I like it.
Speaker 3: You got a head torch, Yeah, I've got.
Speaker 20: I just put my glasses on. Hang on, No, I
Speaker 20: can't see it now.
Speaker 19: I put.
Speaker 20: Not a very big house. So yeah, this is a box.
Speaker 20: Oh yes, fresh TV. That's what it's got in front
Speaker 20: of it.
Speaker 3: And is there a number written after it? Like S
Speaker 3: seven zero nine zero?
Speaker 20: I don't think so there's something there, but I can't
Speaker 20: really see it at this time of night.
Speaker 19: Yep.
Speaker 20: It's free View. That's the preview box. Yep. It's probably
Speaker 20: one of the earlier models.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you have to get a U one or
Speaker 3: there's some options you can do, but it's a little
Speaker 3: bit complicate for this time of night. It says the
Speaker 3: following boxes are expected to work, and it's got a
Speaker 3: list of all the ones that are expected to work.
Speaker 3: It says, please factory reset if you've lost Sky Open,
Speaker 3: Al Jazeera, Bravo and Eden instance. I said, yes, so
Speaker 3: you can put to a factory reseit reset.
Speaker 20: I probably have to get somebody to kind of do it.
Speaker 3: Who would you get, Well.
Speaker 20: I've got I probably would go to Havery Normans because
Speaker 20: there's the TV actually come from Harvey Normans and I
Speaker 20: was in there not so long ago thinking about a
Speaker 20: new one.
Speaker 3: But with all this happening, it's going to cost you.
Speaker 3: If you do need a new a new Freeby box,
Speaker 3: it'll cost you about seventy five bucks.
Speaker 20: Oh yeah, thank you very much. I won't I think
Speaker 20: somebody in town. But anyway, Havery Normans Yep, i'd either
Speaker 20: go to Havery Normans or no livings. But I do
Speaker 20: deal with haveing Normans were bought shop. The TV is
Speaker 20: a so we've had it quite a number of years.
Speaker 20: So I mean, yeah, So that's the problem is that, Yes,
Speaker 20: I rung my neighbor and that she didn't have any problem,
Speaker 20: and I thought, so, I just turned to radio on
Speaker 20: and got into bed. But now I'm in the lounge.
Speaker 3: The yellow lights, you know, that's about the best. But
Speaker 3: keep listening.
Speaker 20: Shade and yellow shade. It's just that it dimm's the
Speaker 20: light at night. So it would stop me having migraines.
Speaker 25: Yep.
Speaker 20: And I've got another one somewhere else. Yeah, So I've
Speaker 20: done it, had it like that for years. I come
Speaker 20: across the bulbs, the shades in christ Shoots and you
Speaker 20: just got to slide them over the light. Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 20: anybody that has migraines, it's the way to go yellow.
Speaker 3: Okay, if you denise, have you dine, if you don't
Speaker 3: get sordered, We're always here for you.
Speaker 20: Yes, thank you very much. I will definitely ring Harvey
Speaker 20: Normans in the morning, yeah, or even nol Lemmings. But yeah,
Speaker 20: I'm going to yeah, because I've got a sixty of
Speaker 20: my son, one of my sons is sixty, so he's
Speaker 20: having a party on the day, thurs Day that's going
Speaker 20: to be Is that going to be it? And they
Speaker 20: think of Harloquinsquins And he's had to push it forward
Speaker 20: a day because Tomoka, Tomoka Rugby they've got it one
Speaker 20: hundred year or something.
Speaker 3: Said, yeah, okay, so they're all going to be and.
Speaker 20: People are coming from the North Island, some are coming
Speaker 20: from Australia and yeah, so it'll be quite busy. So
Speaker 20: I'm really I'm not much of a TV person, but
Speaker 20: it's handy if you want to watch like that that
Speaker 20: program last night, which is my favorite, and I like
Speaker 20: to watch.
Speaker 3: The news at what was last what was last night
Speaker 3: that you said that.
Speaker 20: They were those two people we're doing Upper House in France. Yeah,
Speaker 20: but it'll take them a wild I don't. I think
Speaker 20: that they have only got through the first part of it,
Speaker 20: but I haven't watched all of it yet, so I presume.
Speaker 20: I hope, I hope to be able to but if
Speaker 20: somebody can knows a bit more about these boxes, yeah.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'll leave it there. Dayane, thanks so much for
Speaker 3: that evening Berry. It's Marcus thanks for hanging out.
Speaker 19: I will Marcus.
Speaker 13: Yeah, good evening, Marcus, good program too. I just listened
Speaker 13: to your last customer. I'm a retired electronic engineer, and
Speaker 13: I think she said she had a Sanyo TV.
Speaker 19: Did she yeah?
Speaker 3: I look, she could well have said that, or did
Speaker 3: she say sharp sharp?
Speaker 13: You're correct it was a shark. My worry is that
Speaker 13: I've heard another one or two also, so that they've
Speaker 13: got older TVs before they rush out and buy a
Speaker 13: new box. They've only got HDMI outputs, and the old TVs.
Speaker 21: Only have the old yellow, red.
Speaker 13: And whitely which is CVBS composite video burst and sink
Speaker 13: and technical terms, and they won't be able to plug
Speaker 13: it in to their old TV. Check their TV first
Speaker 13: before they buy a box, otherwise they're up for a
Speaker 13: new TV.
Speaker 3: So you're saying with the new freeview boxes they'll only
Speaker 3: be compatible with newer TVs?
Speaker 27: Is that right?
Speaker 29: That is right?
Speaker 13: That is right. I worked for Sky for a number
Speaker 13: of years too, just as and I've got a very
Speaker 13: old Sky box of a paste de Cot who has
Speaker 13: made design in England, and my one still working fine.
Speaker 13: I watched all the transitions start at four thirty this morning,
Speaker 13: Roman was talking about it, and I'm here. He's a
Speaker 13: good man too, good broadcast broadcasters.
Speaker 19: Yep, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 13: I had him here at my house last year. He
Speaker 13: was a great guy. And my old box that was
Speaker 13: made in two thousand and six upgraded into the new stuff.
Speaker 13: Absolutely no trouble at all.
Speaker 3: Is he hanging out with the listeners?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 13: I gave him something to help somebody else out here.
Speaker 13: I repair keyboards and things, and he walked away with
Speaker 13: one and we had had a talk. Fat Kory rang
Speaker 13: Uper is trying to set up a thing for kids
Speaker 13: and or tree carry on.
Speaker 3: Hey, how old will the TVs have to be for
Speaker 3: them to be poked?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 3: Good, ten years?
Speaker 13: Yeah, probably at least that. I've been retiring now five years,
Speaker 13: so yeah, it would have to be at least ten years.
Speaker 13: But the old TVs have the yellow, white and red
Speaker 13: sockets on the MACRCA. Yes, they need to look and
Speaker 13: make sure they've got an ancient DMI connection. Imput that's
Speaker 13: a twenty four pin rectangular soccer small socker.
Speaker 3: Yes, I know those. Okay, so you're probably worth writing
Speaker 3: down and making your TV before you go to bit
Speaker 3: your free V box and tell them what your TV
Speaker 3: is because you might need a new TV. Is mind,
Speaker 3: your TVs aren't as expensive as they want where you
Speaker 3: go to the three or four hundred dollars. Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 13: I was in the warehouse set yeah the other day,
Speaker 13: and yeah, you can buy a TV quite cheap in there.
Speaker 3: Berry. The Americans won't be buying the Chinese ones, will they,
Speaker 3: because they'll be paying one hundred and forty five percent
Speaker 3: duty on them.
Speaker 13: What's actually happened, I think with the old preview boxes
Speaker 13: is the way the software works two standards S two
Speaker 13: and S four, and it's a bit like the old
Speaker 13: cell phones. They're dropping, you know, the Gen three and
Speaker 13: Gen two. Later this year you got over four G
Speaker 13: or five. Well, this is what's happened on the satellite too.
Speaker 13: They've upgraded to a high end pig steat of brilliant.
Speaker 3: Oh that's good Intel, Barry. You're with you waiting gold
Speaker 3: tonight to think for that. Diane's rung back. She needs
Speaker 3: a new TV, she said, gets ten years old, so
Speaker 3: she'll be doing that. She must have gone and looked
Speaker 3: at the colored circles around the back. So well done
Speaker 3: her for that. That's the situation there. So she's going
Speaker 3: to get another TV John ats Marcus, Welcome and good
Speaker 3: evening here, mate.
Speaker 25: I remember I've been a Sky customer for god knows
Speaker 25: how long, but I've just moved move residencies about six
Speaker 25: months ago. And I remember the Sky technician he had
Speaker 25: to come from christ Church and he said to me,
Speaker 25: he said, good luck. He said, damn sorry, he said,
Speaker 25: you're lucky you got me before the end of the month,
Speaker 25: because all the Sky technicians were leaving because the pay
Speaker 25: rate with Dana they were only offering they were offering
Speaker 25: about four bucks an the hour, less than what Sky
Speaker 25: were paying.
Speaker 3: That's right down. It took on the contracts.
Speaker 25: Yeah, and he said that good luck trying to get
Speaker 25: a technician to come out in the future. So that's
Speaker 25: what that's a lot of the problems too, is that
Speaker 25: there's no technicians because they've all left.
Speaker 34: Yeah.
Speaker 25: So I feel, you know that those people that can't
Speaker 25: those people that can't get a technician on the coast,
Speaker 25: I mean, what do you do? What do they expect
Speaker 25: that people are just going to hang around forever?
Speaker 3: Well, of course, you see, most people have gone because
Speaker 3: satellite technology is dated technology. Yeah, because most of it's
Speaker 3: now on the incident isn't it, So you know, reflecting
Speaker 3: it from space and satellites falling out of space because
Speaker 3: they all end up winding down, don't they. They slow
Speaker 3: down with friction as their friction, they slow down anyway
Speaker 3: and fall to Earth. So you've got to get a
Speaker 3: new satellite. But they ask guy's most important customers because
Speaker 3: they're farmers that watch the rugby and they're the ones
Speaker 3: with is no fiber to the door, so Sky's got to.
Speaker 25: Look after them be interested at Yes, So there's a
Speaker 25: lot of people annoyed, were stepping down and there so
Speaker 25: that it's all good.
Speaker 3: Thanks mate, people, Yeah, are you down? A terrible name
Speaker 3: for company?
Speaker 5: You down?
Speaker 3: It's a downer. Hey, thanks for that. John O. Marcus
Speaker 3: Till twelve oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty nine nine
Speaker 3: text Marcus Cure, Marcus, thank you for being so helpful
Speaker 3: and patient with your callers, particularly elderly callers, and sorting
Speaker 3: out the TV's bridget Oh well, if fay, it's Marcus. Welcome,
Speaker 3: Good evening, Good evening.
Speaker 15: The technician who was on just a bit earlier, very informative.
Speaker 15: He was saying that the new style feview boxes won't
Speaker 15: fit old style televisions because they have an HDMI cable.
Speaker 15: But you can get a splitter box from places like
Speaker 15: j Car where you plug the HDMI into one end
Speaker 15: and it's got the three RCA colored cables the other
Speaker 15: end already fitted, which could go into the television. It
Speaker 15: works plugging an older style DVD player into a newer television,
Speaker 15: so it might work for the feeview boxes too.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's good advice. How much you pay for splitter Fae.
Speaker 15: I think they're about fifty dollars.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, Well, I guess it's not going to be
Speaker 3: too much an outlay for people if it means he're
Speaker 3: going to get but you know they're going to get
Speaker 3: free TV for the rest of the until they put
Speaker 3: a new satellite up. So that's really good intel, Fay.
Speaker 3: I appreciate that, and maybe someone's got some more information
Speaker 3: about that also, So yeah, good to hear from you
Speaker 3: about that. Eight hundred and eighty Taunty min umeers, Marcus,
Speaker 3: Welcome HITDLED twelve Marcus. I use an act indoor active
Speaker 3: aerial plugs into a wallstock and a DVD recorded that
Speaker 3: built in tuness, and of course can record free to
Speaker 3: wear our sky is not working weight on the phone
Speaker 3: for one hour and then talking with the agent for
Speaker 3: thirty minutes and just as far as Sky. To sum
Speaker 3: that up, what's happened with Sky TV is they've switched satellites,
Speaker 3: which seems to have gone quite smoothly. However, all those
Speaker 3: people with freeview, whether they're watching on a UHF aerial
Speaker 3: on a dish, some of those people with older TVs
Speaker 3: and older freeview boxes have been affected and are unable
Speaker 3: to get TV.
Speaker 19: Now.
Speaker 3: For a lot of people, freeview is their lifeblood, particularly
Speaker 3: a few of someone that's used to watching TV and
Speaker 3: are elderly. Those people are without TV one TV too,
Speaker 3: which they probably had their entire lives, so that's a worry. However,
Speaker 3: just what I am thinking about it, the question I
Speaker 3: need to say is because these are people that have
Speaker 3: always got their TV terrestrially from TV aerials, then onto
Speaker 3: Sky dishes and freeview boxes. What I am thinking, I
Speaker 3: don't even know where I'm thinking it. But what I
Speaker 3: really need to say is I wonder whether it's worth
Speaker 3: those people who are in urban areas switching to fiber
Speaker 3: or cable or whatever they call it and just getting
Speaker 3: the TV, you know, straight from the sauce and the
Speaker 3: pipe rather than bothering with aeriels and stuff like that.
Speaker 3: You might know something about that would be nice to
Speaker 3: hear from you. Gerard, it's Marcus. Welcome and good evening.
Speaker 10: Yeah, Marcus, you're getting on you're good.
Speaker 4: Jured.
Speaker 35: Hey, I was just listening to the ten o'clock news
Speaker 35: and they've played an article there about the bus exchange
Speaker 35: in christ you' sorr, I'm getting off the track a
Speaker 35: little bit. That they were playing op from music or
Speaker 35: something and they've had a noticeable reduction and antisocial behavior. Yes,
Speaker 35: And I was thinking, well, why wouldn't you take that
Speaker 35: to the prisons and give them ten years of Andre
Speaker 35: Bercelli and put them on the straight and narrow. Who
Speaker 35: would have thought answers are easy as that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would be surprised if it's had that much
Speaker 3: of effect. It sounds, you know, this is the bus
Speaker 3: hubed christ Church. I mean, I don't know how long
Speaker 3: they've been playing the music for.
Speaker 26: Yeah, yeah, what what the trouble?
Speaker 3: What they're better off doing is playing the high pitched
Speaker 3: sound that only teenagers can hear.
Speaker 35: Well, they'd be right, but then they'd probably put a
Speaker 35: beat to it and print it off and it'd be
Speaker 35: on YouTube the next day. And I've getting some money
Speaker 35: back from those things that they get paid for online.
Speaker 3: Every time I've been to the bus said to their enchrosts,
Speaker 3: it seemed to be pairly, calm and quite a pleasant place.
Speaker 35: I've bus from the airport a couple of times and
Speaker 35: that's been my lot.
Speaker 1: Mate.
Speaker 3: Good on you. You're a nice to hear from you.
Speaker 3: Finding's anything wrong with playing music, classical music and a
Speaker 3: bus terminal, but also, of course the great users of
Speaker 3: bus terminals are young people and elderly people. You want
Speaker 3: music that appeals to them. I don't know how much
Speaker 3: effect it's head reading the article, Katie, it's market's welcome,
Speaker 3: good evening.
Speaker 29: I have a markt again. I rang Spark two months
Speaker 29: ago and asked would I need a new white box.
Speaker 29: They said no because I had didn't happen in it,
Speaker 29: so that was fine. So I didn't have a white box.
Speaker 29: So tonight I've got no television. So I spent seventy
Speaker 29: hours on the phone to Spark and they said I
Speaker 29: need a new black sky box.
Speaker 17: I didn't know that.
Speaker 29: So they're going to come next Wednesday with a new
Speaker 29: black box. They're going to come and set it for me,
Speaker 29: and I've went in TV next Wednesday.
Speaker 3: Okay, I just you say Spark, but I think you
Speaker 3: mean Sky right, Hi.
Speaker 29: Sky Sky. So yes, I've probably had it quite a
Speaker 29: few years, but they didn't tell me I was getting
Speaker 29: a new black box, and I wondered why. But it's
Speaker 29: evenly hell or tuned in with the new arrange.
Speaker 27: So this is.
Speaker 3: You have Sky, not just freeview right.
Speaker 29: No, No, I've got Sky Sport and I'm missing all
Speaker 29: my sports this weekend because they can't get They're coming out.
Speaker 29: I put across the story, you know, I said, though
Speaker 29: I was hopeless, that's it, and that I'm a widow.
Speaker 29: And so he's the guy's coming with my new box
Speaker 29: next Wednesday, so I'll be able to ask all questions.
Speaker 29: But it seems a bit of a coincident that happened
Speaker 29: today on the turnover.
Speaker 3: Well that's when you'd find out that it wasn't working
Speaker 3: in the tuneover. I guess now tell me something. Are
Speaker 3: they're giving you a month of free Sky because you're
Speaker 3: not getting anything?
Speaker 29: Ah, you say, offered me no charge for installation? In
Speaker 29: they would take away a month's present of my silk.
Speaker 29: I'm not really worried about that. I just wanted to
Speaker 29: fix because I'm a real sports lover and I won't
Speaker 29: be able to see any sports.
Speaker 3: A lot of sport. There's a lot of sport, Katie.
Speaker 29: Well, well, I've got a few friends. I'll check around
Speaker 29: there and see them.
Speaker 3: And I got a shock because now I got a
Speaker 3: shock to a Katie.
Speaker 29: I wrung them and they said, you don't need a
Speaker 29: white box. If you ever got internet, you don't need
Speaker 29: a white box. But I haven't got internet, and I
Speaker 29: had a black box and it's going to be replaced.
Speaker 29: But it was all very much of a coincidence, Katie.
Speaker 3: Yeah, did you say you were on hold for seventy hours?
Speaker 29: Sixty eight hours? And I was patient, and it was
Speaker 29: on my home phone, and it was right over dinner time,
Speaker 29: and I'm not a patient person, but I had to
Speaker 29: sip of the phone up in my ear because all
Speaker 29: the time through the hour they were telling you things.
Speaker 3: So it was it sixty eight minutes.
Speaker 29: I waited to get on. Wow, I don't think I'm
Speaker 29: going to be the only one mic No.
Speaker 3: No, no, Well, I hope what's just what's your favorite
Speaker 3: sport to watch?
Speaker 29: Oh, rubby and crickets.
Speaker 3: Okay, there's not much cricket on, but yeah, and when
Speaker 3: are they coming out to see you?
Speaker 29: Wednesday?
Speaker 3: Okay, let's hope it is this wey that's that's tomorrow?
Speaker 6: Is it no.
Speaker 29: Half to Easter?
Speaker 3: Okay, so it's all of all of Easter with no TV.
Speaker 29: Yep. I don't worry. I've got friends, and I like
Speaker 29: the radio, and I like walking.
Speaker 3: Okay, you gotta like walking. Very strong winds that a
Speaker 3: kak and no rain yet, Jay, Marcus, we had an
Speaker 3: old TV and bought a dongle a freeviews streamer from
Speaker 3: the warehouse for ninety nine dollars like an Apple TV
Speaker 3: or croa Google TV streamer has all the smart TV
Speaker 3: EPs on it now and get Netflix and freeb so easy.
Speaker 3: A lot of these put don't have the Internet for
Speaker 3: this though. It's the question I'm asking. Hello, don it's Marcus. Welcome,
Speaker 3: you know Marcus.
Speaker 17: Hey.
Speaker 8: This bus exchange music things actually garnished quite a bit
Speaker 8: of interest from locals here in christ Church following I
Speaker 8: can the Regional Council who look after the busses down here.
Speaker 8: They're one of their counselors. Deon Swigs was chatting back
Speaker 8: this the other day. Interestingly, they've been call outs for
Speaker 8: them to change up the music to Barry Manilo.
Speaker 28: Mm no, not your cover tea.
Speaker 18: No.
Speaker 3: I just I just can't quite work out what the
Speaker 3: story the story, Yeah, I mean, because you know, there's
Speaker 3: been sort of stories around the world for kind of
Speaker 3: decades of people playing classical music to calm down children.
Speaker 3: But mainly it's always been music like Barry Menlow to
Speaker 3: stop people gathering. But you know, a bus terminal is
Speaker 3: is not You don't want to drive people away and
Speaker 3: not have them gathering. A bus terminals for kids to
Speaker 3: use to get home and to get to school and
Speaker 3: get to go to the movies. You know, you need
Speaker 3: it to be a place that kids can go to
Speaker 3: and use. So I can't quite work out why they're
Speaker 3: trying to drive the children away from it. It seems
Speaker 3: kind of productive to me, and it seems slightly not immature,
Speaker 3: but slightly. Yeah, I just can't quite work at what
Speaker 3: the angle is.
Speaker 8: Yeah, now I understand that, I understand what the angle
Speaker 8: is too. I agree with you completely, But they're not
Speaker 8: trying to drive out the children and the youth that
Speaker 8: are just transiting through the space to get home and
Speaker 8: get to wherever they need to get to. They've had
Speaker 8: quite a significant youth problem in the area, with youth
Speaker 8: gangs congregating in the bus exchange and intimidating people and
Speaker 8: having fights with each other and picking fights with other
Speaker 8: youths that just turn up to the exchange. So they're
Speaker 8: trying to combat that problem. And it's quite a well
Speaker 8: known and understood science. So I remember thirty years ago
Speaker 8: when I was in Perth they had a similar problem
Speaker 8: at the Perth railway station and they did exactly the
Speaker 8: same thing, introduced classical music in the space and it
Speaker 8: helped clean up the problem immensely.
Speaker 3: Bitch, it won't work.
Speaker 23: Well.
Speaker 8: We'll sort of wait and see on that. There's certainly
Speaker 8: a lot of positive feedback from the community that some
Speaker 8: people like. It'll be interesting to see over the next
Speaker 8: couple of months whether it does start to get on
Speaker 8: top of it, because if it doesn't, the problem for
Speaker 8: the community is the expensive response. The next answer is
Speaker 8: to just put some more security guards in there, and those,
Speaker 8: of course are horrendously more expensive.
Speaker 3: Are you are you on the counselors that are you
Speaker 3: involved with it?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 4: No, but.
Speaker 3: Watch your involvement.
Speaker 8: Well, guess these days I'm a bit of a community
Speaker 8: advocate around the place, get involved in a few social issues.
Speaker 8: So I've made quite good friends with lots of the
Speaker 8: counselors and quite a few of the council starf So
Speaker 8: I have actually discussed the bus exchange problem with the
Speaker 8: city Council's guided by the name of Bruce Rendel actually,
Speaker 8: who's the guy who's in charge of that space on
Speaker 8: behalf of the council. So I have sort of had
Speaker 8: some understanding of it previously. You know, you get to
Speaker 8: my age, Marcus, and you just sort of think, well,
Speaker 8: you can't just sit on the sidelines and grizzle at
Speaker 8: the Facebook posts and what have you got to get
Speaker 8: involved and understand it and try and help sort it out.
Speaker 3: Sometimes, what are they providing for young people to do?
Speaker 3: What's the solution, what are the activities they're providing across.
Speaker 8: The city, all sorts of things. We've had a similar
Speaker 8: problem just slightly north of the city in place called
Speaker 8: Shirley the Palms Mall. We got to the point of
Speaker 8: having gangs fighting outside the area. So they've put in
Speaker 8: things like skateboard ramps. We've got skateboard parks and ramps
Speaker 8: going in all over the city these days. A new
Speaker 8: sports hub been put in in my area. Just high
Speaker 8: school was moved out of the area and the old
Speaker 8: gymnasium was left standing, so they tidied that up and
Speaker 8: turned it into a sports hub for the community. New
Speaker 8: community swimming pools going in all over the place. Programs
Speaker 8: in my again. Coming back to Shirley, there's a public
Speaker 8: library there. It's quite small, but they've got a whole
Speaker 8: host of community engagement programs for kids and youth.
Speaker 3: Good to hear, Don, thanks so much for that. Keep
Speaker 3: it going people. If you do want to talk, oh
Speaker 3: eight hundred and eighty ten eighty marc as strong wind
Speaker 3: and a Portuguy. I hope my amateur radio aerial survive.
Speaker 3: Lyle get in touch. Lyle, welcome. We are talking free
Speaker 3: of you. How to get connected, whether you need to
Speaker 3: know you, whether you need a new box or not.
Speaker 3: I suppose you can buy a new box that doesn't
Speaker 3: want to take you, get your money back, maybe because
Speaker 3: you might need a new TV. I feel like this
Speaker 3: is when the sport wind or space TV and how
Speaker 3: confusing that was. Mind you, A lot of people that
Speaker 3: have brought the new TVs then, and I'd imagine TV's
Speaker 3: are going to become every cheap soon because China won't
Speaker 3: be saying with the United States because of Levy's. Their
Speaker 3: lives are their tariffs. Jordie Marcus, welcome, Mark, and.
Speaker 6: Tell you mate good Jordy, good good.
Speaker 3: Hey.
Speaker 6: Just a couple of things. The classical music is working
Speaker 6: at the at the bus stop. I don't know whether
Speaker 6: they're just giving up on it or they're moving elsewhere,
Speaker 6: not one hundred percent sure, but the bus stops working.
Speaker 3: And Jordie, how are you either bus stop every day?
Speaker 22: May nah not.
Speaker 6: But I go into town with the kids and the
Speaker 6: missus and we're just they mess around and I'll see
Speaker 6: there's the bowling and the opposite and there used to
Speaker 6: be just a whole bunch of kids and whatnot or
Speaker 6: hanging outside as well as inside. You don't see that
Speaker 6: much anymore now.
Speaker 3: So yeah, do you bust them when you go bowling?
Speaker 30: No?
Speaker 3: No, no, you're just looking at it. Look it for
Speaker 3: the other side.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you can see pretty much right through it because
Speaker 6: shoot fall as laugh.
Speaker 3: Good on you, Jordie, thank you for that. Ian Marcus welcome.
Speaker 19: Yeah, Hey, guy, got in.
Speaker 28: Yeah, how'd you come?
Speaker 10: Tea?
Speaker 23: Good?
Speaker 3: Thank you real good? Still going good good.
Speaker 9: Good good good. Now I've got I don't even know
Speaker 9: what freeview is?
Speaker 32: Is that Russian?
Speaker 9: China and all those channels?
Speaker 10: What is er?
Speaker 9: Is that preview?
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what it. There's there's quite a lot
Speaker 3: on it.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think I've got those channels, but I've only
Speaker 9: got a TV. Like've got a freeview box. It's not
Speaker 9: dinner anything, but I haven't got a box. It's it's
Speaker 9: already coming through my TV. If that's what those channels.
Speaker 3: Are, TV one, TV two three, Bravo. Yeah, got that
Speaker 3: MOULDI TV TV did, TV did two Eden Bravo Today?
Speaker 3: TV did we three? Rush?
Speaker 9: Guy, it's already on my TV then, yeah, okay, so.
Speaker 3: How you but you're getting it through the internet right?
Speaker 28: No?
Speaker 9: No, no, I haven't got internet at home. No, it's
Speaker 9: just coming through.
Speaker 3: The TV for a sky dish.
Speaker 29: It must be.
Speaker 9: Uh yeah, I've got yeah, I've got a Scottish.
Speaker 3: It's coming through a Dakoda. Guy, it's got a freeview box.
Speaker 9: It must yeah, it must be already hooked up to
Speaker 9: the sky. I don't have the sky.
Speaker 3: Have you looked at it today in no, no, no,
Speaker 3: I haven't been working because a lot of people since
Speaker 3: today their freeview is no longer working because it wasn't
Speaker 3: competible this morning before. You'd be good.
Speaker 9: Yeah, okay. Also, there's been a bit of a hack
Speaker 9: up a leaf field.
Speaker 3: And look, I apologize to people. Keep asking about what
Speaker 3: the situation is there and I haven't done anything.
Speaker 9: Okay, there's any bit of a hack up and there's
Speaker 9: a phone pole like snapped about.
Speaker 3: Is it resolved?
Speaker 4: We know it?
Speaker 9: You're about an hour ago.
Speaker 3: No, it hadn't been Okay, who's the provider?
Speaker 9: I wouldn't have clothes, no.
Speaker 27: Victim.
Speaker 10: It could be yeah, I'm not sure.
Speaker 9: Sorry, it's a lot very good anyway.
Speaker 3: No, okay, I've had a number of dis and I've
Speaker 3: been bad about that. I should have got people Leathfield.
Speaker 3: Do we have as there that for KICKO junctions? Copy that? Yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm on the face.
Speaker 26: Very nice.
Speaker 3: Okay. It was a car going into it. Ah, yes, okay,
Speaker 3: appreciate that. Thanks again. So it seems to me you
Speaker 3: wouldn't need a new free view, a new smart tv,
Speaker 3: a new freeview box, because if the smart TV's already
Speaker 3: got it, that ads to further confusion. Oh another topic
Speaker 3: also too, Sophie Ellis bigstor you know her murder on
Speaker 3: the dance Floyd, but you better not kill the groove. Hey, hey, hey, hey,
Speaker 3: it's murder on the dance floor. Bey not steal my moves.
Speaker 3: Her children are getting bullied at school for not because
Speaker 3: their mother's a singer or anything like that. They're getting
Speaker 3: buried at school because they have red hair, which seems
Speaker 3: to be one of those perennial things that people feel
Speaker 3: that they are treated differently because of Yep, she's got
Speaker 3: four kids. I don't quite know why people feel that.
Speaker 3: It's probably okay. I sometimes think that old JK. Rowling
Speaker 3: has a bit to do with that, with the whole
Speaker 3: Weasley's with their red hair, because everyone's you know, it's
Speaker 3: the Weasley's when you see a family with red here
Speaker 3: and something like that. So anyway, I don't know what
Speaker 3: you want to comment on that. If you actually got
Speaker 3: a hard time for having read here, it seems to
Speaker 3: almost be the last best in of something you can
Speaker 3: actually give people a hard time for with consequences.
Speaker 27: People.
Speaker 3: I'm pretty happy with that at all. But anyway, I'd
Speaker 3: be curious to know about that if you've been given
Speaker 3: a hard time for being someone with red hair. I
Speaker 3: won't say some of the nicknames for that because it
Speaker 3: would be perpetuating, it, wouldn't it. Greg, It's Marcus welcome.
Speaker 36: You're good, Greg. Yeah, So this preview carry on, been
Speaker 36: been listening in. So people just need to understand a
Speaker 36: little bit about how it's delivered and how it comes
Speaker 36: to them. So it can come by different ways, down
Speaker 36: by the satellite, which is where all the problems have
Speaker 36: come by, UH, which I think they're shutting head down too,
Speaker 36: so that's an area on your rotten off the sky dish,
Speaker 36: or it could come by their insta so through the preview.
Speaker 36: It can all be on your TV, but some of
Speaker 36: your smart TVs they only pick it up if you've
Speaker 36: got a dish, not through the uh beds most of them.
Speaker 36: So it's also you've sort of got to understand a
Speaker 36: little bit about it, not just expected to go.
Speaker 14: You know, the.
Speaker 36: It's a bit of a hint of the name free view.
Speaker 36: So you know you've got to do the work yourself,
Speaker 36: beyond somebody else to do the work.
Speaker 27: You pay for that.
Speaker 36: So if you you know you can't expected just to
Speaker 36: go for nothing for you know, all the more costs
Speaker 36: money to satellights.
Speaker 3: You know, how do they make their money?
Speaker 36: So I don't get what I suppose you.
Speaker 3: I don't know if that they're on a gentleman's agreement
Speaker 3: or quite how it all goes. But you're fair enough, okay. Oh,
Speaker 3: so they're getting rid of the U h F are they?
Speaker 12: Well?
Speaker 36: Yeah, I think it's it's on the way out as
Speaker 36: more becoming satellite you know, with EMPNY satellites up me nowadays,
Speaker 36: it's probably be happening. The easier way to deliver it,
Speaker 36: you know, it's less to phthography issues, things like that.
Speaker 36: So you may get into every nook and training. When
Speaker 36: I've got in the country.
Speaker 3: Are you a sky technician, Greg, are you involved in that?
Speaker 36: I used to be a computer technician, but now I've
Speaker 36: been on the track so bit of a career change,
Speaker 36: I guess you'd call it so. But no enough to
Speaker 36: get into trouble, but not always enough to.
Speaker 10: Get out of it.
Speaker 3: Because I wonder how long satellite transmission will still be
Speaker 3: a thing when everything's going to the inset. It's got
Speaker 3: to be. It's got to be sunset technology, hasn't it.
Speaker 24: Uh?
Speaker 36: Yeah, I would have thought there, But I don't know.
Speaker 36: I think it's going to carry on just because fiber
Speaker 36: and broadband just doesn't have to reach you know, too
Speaker 36: much rural and stuff like that.
Speaker 3: So in the farm and the farmers, the farmers want
Speaker 3: their rugby a.
Speaker 36: Absolutely, you know, ain't got to got to watch the theavs.
Speaker 36: But you know, it's all about how you want it delivered.
Speaker 36: We built in your house about five years ago and
Speaker 36: I didn't put in any hereels or sky District in.
Speaker 36: Then it's all delivered through broadband. You know, we're lucky
Speaker 36: we're on fliber so pizza cake but yeah, to the
Speaker 36: three view app. But there's also you know the TV
Speaker 36: n Z and AP and the TV three ANP but
Speaker 36: almost so you know, it's all different different ways of
Speaker 36: clipping the same thing, you know, so you've sort of
Speaker 36: got to understand a bit of it to to be
Speaker 36: able to know what you're asking for or what you want.
Speaker 36: You know, go on in the days where people give
Speaker 36: you a service, you're still got it up but yourself.
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, I think it seized. By the time of twenty
Speaker 3: twenty two, eighty seven percent of the countries on fiber
Speaker 3: or ultra fast broadband. So but yeah, it'll be the
Speaker 3: thirteen percent that are in the country that needs to Saidlite.
Speaker 36: Ah, well they're wrong, but you know that's that's where
Speaker 36: we're going on being using a bit of starling, said
Speaker 36: Aline lately for a different thing that I get up too.
Speaker 36: And you know that's buddy, amazing little little panel tideler.
Speaker 36: You know eight three bit of paper. You put that
Speaker 36: outside and it points to the sky and pressed though
Speaker 36: you've got into the na in the middle of the
Speaker 36: day where the guy that I was running with we
Speaker 36: am driving through it down and don't even down the
Speaker 36: middle march no cell phone coverage. He's on his phone
Speaker 36: quite heavily. That it's all gown through into the court.
Speaker 18: You know.
Speaker 36: So technology is there. Technology is not going away. Hey,
Speaker 36: we've we've got to you know, we've got to learn
Speaker 36: to understand it. We're going to learn what we what
Speaker 36: we're using. If it was going to go away, fine
Speaker 36: hide under your off for another few years till it's gone.
Speaker 36: But it's not going anywhere. So the sooner you understand
Speaker 36: what you've got, then you embrace it. The easier and better.
Speaker 36: It's going to be easy for the older generation. But
Speaker 36: with thet My mother in law the other day, you know,
Speaker 36: she's ninety two and she wanted to stream the Sunday
Speaker 36: mess and she brings us up on her phone and
Speaker 36: cast it to the TV. And she'd just be a
Speaker 36: run rings around me. So it can't be done, you know,
Speaker 36: don't hide behind that. Oh, I don't know. There's just
Speaker 36: an excuse for I don't want to find.
Speaker 3: Out forty about that, David, I pushed the wrong button.
Speaker 3: Welcome David to Marcus. Good evening.
Speaker 26: I'm man evening, Marcus. Hey, the UHF has been gone
Speaker 26: from the major cities in Chrostier and you've quite well Chrostiersalkland, Webington,
Speaker 26: Duneeden will work on terrestrial TV, which still utilizes the
Speaker 26: roof aerial. It doesn't have to be a disc. Your
Speaker 26: digital TVs are all terrestrials and the the terrestrial part
Speaker 26: is part of the starlink as well. You know how
Speaker 26: you can get your textas from basically anywhere in the country,
Speaker 26: no matter where you are. You can pick up your
Speaker 26: teeses on the one network. Yes, that's terrestrial satellites, so
Speaker 26: low orbiting satellites, not the high high ones. Yes, and
Speaker 26: also those are the same ones that you're finding is
Speaker 26: the biggest growth in the internet market for people getting
Speaker 26: your internet service rurally through low orbiting.
Speaker 3: Satellites makes sense, doesn't it.
Speaker 26: Yeah, and sky is now running on the water intablit system.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 26: So yeah, so it's not the UA chief has been going,
Speaker 26: going and going for a long time. It's very very
Speaker 26: view spaces that haven't left anymore.
Speaker 5: But your.
Speaker 26: Your aeriel still picks up the low warping satellite transmissions.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 19: Okay, you don't need.
Speaker 26: Don't need line of sight to the porthills or anything
Speaker 26: like that, sure gore hell or anything like that.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 3: Are you a technician?
Speaker 26: No, But I just had the TV changed because of
Speaker 26: the Skybox change. So when with the dongle waption, which
Speaker 26: is actually better bit of use to me. But if
Speaker 26: you don't need big black box, just we almost like
Speaker 26: a Google Chrome cast item.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, and it's it's all worked out after the change, yes,
Speaker 3: today or this morning?
Speaker 26: Yeah, perfect, no problem whatsoever.
Speaker 19: You'd be happy with that, very very happy.
Speaker 28: Yep.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what that those that one in there,
Speaker 3: that's the company, isn't it right, that's the one. Yes,
Speaker 3: you can't stand their TVs. Okay, you've seen that one
Speaker 3: with a guy who meets his adoptive. I can't even
Speaker 3: work it out. Yeah, it drives me crazy anyway, that's
Speaker 3: just me. Thank you for that. Oh, a lot of
Speaker 3: discussions about red here. Someone said Putin had red here
Speaker 3: when younger. I don't know that's true.
Speaker 29: I don't think.
Speaker 3: Russians had read here. I suppose they did. We want
Speaker 3: to talk about that also. That's the backup topic for tonight.
Speaker 3: We had problems with our skybox a short time ago.
Speaker 3: Switched to a skypod, which is like one of the
Speaker 3: new TV sticks. There's or the TV channels like the skybox,
Speaker 3: but runs only on your home network. There you go.
Speaker 3: I don't know what to make of that. The storm
Speaker 3: is coming, strong winds, no rain up the country, yep.
Speaker 3: Oh eight hundred and eight nine two to texts. If
Speaker 3: you want to come through, Richard, it's Marcus welcome.
Speaker 10: I don't suppose you know where this is from.
Speaker 25: What I.
Speaker 10: Find there's something we can agree agree on after all
Speaker 10: these years. As the content of the one New Zealand ad.
Speaker 3: What does he touch that guy on the back. I
Speaker 3: can't work it out.
Speaker 10: I've got no idea what you're on about, you know,
Speaker 10: and they're trying to make.
Speaker 3: It go viral. I mean they both seems so unlikable.
Speaker 10: I know.
Speaker 3: Anyway, And he shows his teto and the other guy
Speaker 3: puts his thumb on it. What's that?
Speaker 34: It's like, what.
Speaker 3: Are you in agreement with me?
Speaker 10: Yeah? That's my call. That's why I called.
Speaker 3: I've stroken for every one.
Speaker 10: After all these years, we can find something to agree about.
Speaker 3: Have we disagreed in the past?
Speaker 10: Maybe?
Speaker 3: Okay, I'll watch it more closely. I mean even sick.
Speaker 3: I probably say it normally during the Warriors, but I
Speaker 3: mean I won't be watching them again for a while.
Speaker 3: This makes me too angry. Where's their belief? Where's their
Speaker 3: self belief? And they'll win a couple of close ones
Speaker 3: again this year, but they won't be in the top eight.
Speaker 3: Do we know what's happening to Shan's Is he going
Speaker 3: to the Catalan bulls or something? We need a bit
Speaker 3: of calms out of them as well. Then it tell
Speaker 3: us what's going on with them. That's my take. If
Speaker 3: you want to be in touch before the news, that's
Speaker 3: good or after the news, that's also good. But Hittle
Speaker 3: twelve o'clock eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. Oh, I
Speaker 3: was gonna say about more about the storm, wasn't I?
Speaker 3: But I haven't got a lot more information about that yet.
Speaker 3: It's been up raided the tropical cyclone tim Tam. It's
Speaker 3: actually just tropical cyclone TAM. Two weather systems are on
Speaker 3: track to collide, bring intense conditions that could see large
Speaker 3: and powerful swells and lane closures on the harbor. They
Speaker 3: love a lane closure. Good evening, Jackets, Marcus, welcome.
Speaker 28: Hi.
Speaker 5: Look, some misinformation has been given the when you talk
Speaker 5: back about the satellite and the change over from one
Speaker 5: satellite to another. Yes, and on a tech on licensed
Speaker 5: for satellites, I mean I'm licensed to uplink yes as
Speaker 5: well as received and you can ask me any question
Speaker 5: to like, but what do you what do you want
Speaker 5: to know? That's that's factual.
Speaker 3: What's the misinformation?
Speaker 5: Jack Well? The guy says low orbit satellites whatever, that
Speaker 5: the signals coming. It's absolute crap. What's happened is that
Speaker 5: sound like D two is in GEO station the orbit
Speaker 5: and it's running, running out of fuel and it's starting
Speaker 5: to wander, so it wanders out of what your dish
Speaker 5: can receive. So they've changed over to sound like called
Speaker 5: Korea Set, and in doing so, they've changed a few
Speaker 5: of the parameters on the down link. On the down
Speaker 5: link feed and most of the channels like one, two
Speaker 5: and three will work just fine even in the older boxes,
Speaker 5: but the digital signal that they're sending down on the
Speaker 5: sky they piggyback ol jaes Eira I think Eden plus
Speaker 5: or whatever on what's.
Speaker 3: Called just just take on the check. I have to
Speaker 3: come back. I don't know if you're hanging out all
Speaker 3: after the news. We're right on the cusp there, and
Speaker 3: please there's water talk, but just hang on if you will.
Speaker 3: I'll come back to after this break. Yeah, thanks for
Speaker 3: hanging on there. Jack. You're talking about what happened with
Speaker 3: Freeview that was on that satellite and when the switch over,
Speaker 3: what happened with that.
Speaker 5: Well, just to understand, the last caller was going on
Speaker 5: about lower satellites.
Speaker 3: I didn't really I wasn't really paying attention to him, but.
Speaker 5: Yeah, right, right, So there's the satellite we're talking about.
Speaker 5: There's actually three of what's called Lord or Slot thirty
Speaker 5: three thousand kilometers above the Earth, and they're traveling at
Speaker 5: the same speed as the Earth rotates, yes, so they
Speaker 5: look like they're in the same spot yep. So what's
Speaker 5: happened is they've changed satellites because what's called D two
Speaker 5: is run out of fuel if they can't keep it
Speaker 5: the same spot, so they have you have what's fading
Speaker 5: because it keeps drifting. So they've changed over to careers
Speaker 5: At now. In doing that, they all so change the frequency.
Speaker 5: Just like tuning your radio of the Sky Open Eden
Speaker 5: plus three in Oldazra if you could get Old Gazeerra before,
Speaker 5: you can still get at the game because it uses
Speaker 5: a slightly later format which is more efficient digitally for
Speaker 5: sending the data down. So what you're going to do
Speaker 5: is you've got to tune your satellite box to find
Speaker 5: those channels Al Jazeera and Sky Open and whatever. And
Speaker 5: they have moved frequency slightly. Must be because of a
Speaker 5: characteristic with the satellite. One of the other problems of
Speaker 5: that satellite too, is that it was never designed to
Speaker 5: be to cover New Zealand and parts of Australia. It
Speaker 5: was Koreas that sort of spells it was really for
Speaker 5: the northern hemisphere. What they managed to do is focus
Speaker 5: it on New Zealand and the East coast of Australia.
Speaker 5: You could sort of imagine if you shyly get tortured
Speaker 5: a distance at the Earth. Because it's transmits slightly different
Speaker 5: and the antennas are slightly different, some parts of New
Speaker 5: Zealand will sort of miss out of it. And I
Speaker 5: understand the West coast the signal was a little bit lower.
Speaker 28: Sky was.
Speaker 5: Distributing those more sixty centimeter dishes well.
Speaker 10: On the perimeter.
Speaker 5: They may not be big enough to get a good signal.
Speaker 5: And with digital either in or out, you don't sort
Speaker 5: of get that hazy. It's either locks or not. And
Speaker 5: people would have seen that when they get thunderstorm whatever,
Speaker 5: the picture just freezes. It's not sort of hazy or
Speaker 5: do you think it just either in or out. But
Speaker 5: if you could get oldazera before you can get the new,
Speaker 5: the new satellite, well it's an old second nd satellite
Speaker 5: being utilized, and you need to get your satellite box
Speaker 5: to find that. There's usually the menu system to look
Speaker 5: for it, and so if you can get it before,
Speaker 5: you'll get it again. It's just that you've got to
Speaker 5: train your sat top box to look for it.
Speaker 3: You've got the questions know the places that they had
Speaker 3: the discs when adequate was far north, far parts of Southland,
Speaker 3: half the bottom of Southland and on the east coast
Speaker 3: was where they have given people larger dishes because the
Speaker 3: current dishes weren't big enough. That seems to be the
Speaker 3: three regions where they've done that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well I suggest you get somebody with a satellite
Speaker 5: met which can test the strength and you might need
Speaker 5: to go to a slightly bigger's not that expensive.
Speaker 3: Well, Sky themselves, the Sky themselves have approached Sky them
Speaker 3: because I'm and Bluff and Sky has come around and
Speaker 3: replaced all the dishes. They've been proactive with that.
Speaker 5: You were all about the Freeview people that they don't subscribe.
Speaker 3: Oh, I see about Freeview. Well, for they're saying that
Speaker 3: Freevian needs to go and buy a new Freeview box.
Speaker 5: No, not necessarily, if you can know that, but that's
Speaker 5: what I'm.
Speaker 3: Saying on the on their website if they if they
Speaker 3: go to those channels or haven't got the right brands.
Speaker 5: Yeah, look, if you if you can get the Elder
Speaker 5: zero before or Sky Open, you don't need a new box.
Speaker 5: You just need to be able to retune it. But
Speaker 5: if you couldn't get it before. You won't get it
Speaker 5: again because they use the Sky on those channels. They
Speaker 5: use the Sky format for for the downlinks so that
Speaker 5: you could receive it, and that's slightly different than TV one,
Speaker 5: TV two and TV three. So yeah that you you
Speaker 5: don't need a new box, you need a bigger dish.
Speaker 5: It's all to do with single streak and to be
Speaker 5: able to decode it.
Speaker 3: So yeah, and you a you freeview box could be
Speaker 3: cheaper than a new dish, couldn't it.
Speaker 5: Hey, you can pick up dishes for fifty bucks one
Speaker 5: hundred dollars.
Speaker 3: Seventy five dollars the one that's going to work apparently.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but if your dish is not big enough, the
Speaker 5: box won't help.
Speaker 3: Okay, that'll be tomorrow night jack. I've got to run,
Speaker 3: but thank you our thirteen past eleven, eight hundred eighty
Speaker 3: ten eighty nine text. Keep it going people. I was
Speaker 3: completely unaware of my Sky said I'd switch over my
Speaker 3: two I TVs and wondered what wasn't working with Sky
Speaker 3: informed me that all I had to do was leave
Speaker 3: the baron to my skybox before switch over. I wouldn't
Speaker 3: have had an issue. Now I've got the headache of
Speaker 3: trying to get it sort of a good one. Sky,
Speaker 3: I think I've just lost a customer. Oh, Marcus, I
Speaker 3: have had I have not had problems with my TV,
Speaker 3: but I run on the net am my older TV
Speaker 3: off freeview box. But I can I can't read that.
Speaker 3: Get in touch with you? Do you want to talk
Speaker 3: about anything else tonight? Also too, including to the rough
Speaker 3: time you've received because of being a redhead. Sophia I
Speaker 3: speaks to all who children school's are misery apparently because
Speaker 3: they are red headed. She was the Brett Stae When
Speaker 3: was her hit two thousand and one?
Speaker 30: Was it.
Speaker 3: Children have been bullied at school because of their red hair? Yep,
Speaker 3: because you're not blending in you get the second school.
Speaker 3: Anything that marks you out becomes the thing you'll be
Speaker 3: teased about. Yep, kids of different shades of red. Chee says,
Speaker 3: there you go, although it doesn't see some Paul Tomato
Speaker 3: school or anything. Do you know what the glad Rab
Speaker 3: company was fine for? The glad Rab company was fine
Speaker 3: because I said fifty percent of their plastic was made
Speaker 3: from sea plastic. But it was and it was junk
Speaker 3: plastic from land based landfills. Yeah, looked a bit sketchy
Speaker 3: that one. I wasn't aware of the promotion for those products,
Speaker 3: but that's that also. Yeah, Paul, it's Marcus.
Speaker 19: Good evening, Jimmy.
Speaker 32: Here are you going good?
Speaker 3: Paul? How are you going?
Speaker 32: Not so bad? They look a really dumb question, right,
Speaker 32: I mean, because they closed this bridge all the time, right,
Speaker 32: and I'm on the shore. Does the mayor actually hold
Speaker 32: the right of power to say the bridge is open?
Speaker 32: Or has he got no power at all? The only
Speaker 32: reason I'm asking this is because you're probably more upskilled
Speaker 32: with counsel than most. Has he got the right to
Speaker 32: say the bridge is open? Or is it up to
Speaker 32: someone else to go?
Speaker 3: No, I'd say I'd say quite rightly that he'd have
Speaker 3: no say whatsoever because it'd be inded into Ta's call.
Speaker 3: That would be my take.
Speaker 32: Wow, So if if the bridge, if something really bad happened,
Speaker 32: the mayor wouldn't have any say what's the weather on
Speaker 32: the bridge or a building or anything.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't think so, because he's got no experience for that.
Speaker 3: He's not a.
Speaker 30: No.
Speaker 3: I think that would be that there would be strict
Speaker 3: limits to what would the bridge, particularly since the truck
Speaker 3: went into one of the side things and weakened it.
Speaker 3: There would be a certain level. If the wind gets
Speaker 3: to that height, you can't go over it. That will
Speaker 3: be my take.
Speaker 27: Yeah.
Speaker 32: And that truck that went into the wind. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 32: it had no weight in it. I mean, and there've
Speaker 32: been a bit bloody flaky on that stuff, to be fair,
Speaker 32: ever since there happened.
Speaker 3: Yes, but it wasn't do they close it much. They
Speaker 3: just drop down some lanes.
Speaker 32: They dropped down lanes and then they shut it.
Speaker 3: Okay, how many times have they shut it?
Speaker 32: A dozen? Okay over the last five years.
Speaker 3: Okay, so it's part of the next You're gonna go
Speaker 3: around the upper Harbor, don't you? In the extra hour?
Speaker 32: Yeah? Yeah, but what I was here? But someone must
Speaker 32: have control.
Speaker 34: So who's the person.
Speaker 32: That has control? And I would have thought that would
Speaker 32: have been the mayor that said there's a contrast a
Speaker 32: catastrophy in Auckland. These streets are shut Thames for Harbor Bridge.
Speaker 32: It doesn't seem that it's consistent, but.
Speaker 3: It's the nz TA A, the people that operate the bridge.
Speaker 32: Yeah, I just yeah, I don't know. You make has
Speaker 32: So are you.
Speaker 3: Worried about what do you think the do you think
Speaker 3: it'd be good of the mayor could control Is that
Speaker 3: what you're saying?
Speaker 7: Kind?
Speaker 32: I mean he controls the city.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but motorways are different.
Speaker 8: Hmm.
Speaker 32: I don't know.
Speaker 3: But do you do you think beneath all of this
Speaker 3: pool do you think they are closing it negligent or
Speaker 3: they're they're closure happy. They're closing it to often.
Speaker 32: If you sneezed, they would close it. It gets over
Speaker 32: sixty k seventy k our winds they shut the bridge.
Speaker 3: So you don't believe the science. You don't believe it's
Speaker 3: dangerous if it's blowing more than that, No, it's not dangerous.
Speaker 32: I don't think it is, Marcus Hope.
Speaker 3: But the bridges, the bridge is old. The bridge is
Speaker 3: old and weakened.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 32: You they haven't proposed anything else, have they?
Speaker 18: No?
Speaker 3: No, which is just because we our political system means
Speaker 3: every six or nine years we change and the people
Speaker 3: promise something, but then they don't do it. There's there's
Speaker 3: no car By part wasn't getting together fork projects like bridges.
Speaker 32: Yeah, but they wanted a cycle way, which.
Speaker 3: Was a damn good idea, but the Nimbi's at North
Speaker 3: Point got up in arms about it.
Speaker 32: Oh, I know, well I'm not sure about that.
Speaker 3: Oh No, people get triggered by cycle ways because they
Speaker 3: think it's the end. But that's just interference. Thank you.
Speaker 3: Paul twenty eight past eleven. Should have asked him how
Speaker 3: a skydish was jump in. If you do want to talk,
Speaker 3: I can't tell you much about so. Oh actually I
Speaker 3: can do a Google search for cyclone tam on its way.
Speaker 3: But the strong winds and rain could start as early
Speaker 3: as first thing tomorrow. Well, I think a strong winds
Speaker 3: have already started. I think it's over Vanawa too. Hello, Michael,
Speaker 3: it's Marcus. Welcome.
Speaker 10: Hey Marcus.
Speaker 3: Hi Michael.
Speaker 10: How are you doing?
Speaker 3: Michael?
Speaker 10: That's the one. I obviously had a bit more interesting
Speaker 10: things to talk about for me. But anyway, it's about
Speaker 10: it's about the freeview, the preview, and someone probably would
Speaker 10: be answer it. Someone nearly probably has already. But I
Speaker 10: lost on the preview. I lost the Al Jazeera and
Speaker 10: the Sky. Yeah that was quite a while ago, maybe
Speaker 10: almost over half a year ago. But I still got
Speaker 10: all the other channels, and so that's on a little
Speaker 10: old freeview box.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 10: Now I don't even get any signal at all for
Speaker 10: any of the channels when you search for them and
Speaker 10: you push the different buttons and you go for the
Speaker 10: different modes. I'm pretty sure that means that I would
Speaker 10: need a new preview box.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's my take. That's and you can go on
Speaker 3: the website and it tells you. It tells you. Look,
Speaker 3: I've got the website in front of me. Okay, So
Speaker 3: here it goes. If you've tuned in through a satellite
Speaker 3: dish and experience and experiations following the simple steps. Right,
Speaker 3: are you tuned in through a satellite dish? Yes? Yes,
Speaker 3: if you lost all channels. If you've lost all channels,
Speaker 3: check if you need the upgrade. Most TV's and tellight
Speaker 3: box will continue working after this update. However, some satellite
Speaker 3: boxes have lasted many years and run on updated technology
Speaker 3: which won't work with the transmission from new satellite. There
Speaker 3: are many of the older boxes left. If you have one,
Speaker 3: it's time to upgrade. Check your box. That's it, and
Speaker 3: it says.
Speaker 10: Check your TV, dish, TV or something.
Speaker 3: Check if your satellite box should still work. The following
Speaker 3: sellite box are expected to work once they're on the
Speaker 3: new satellite. What number comes after dish TV?
Speaker 10: Yeah, I have to turn them back on again. But
Speaker 10: it's it's I think, well, usually there was a frequency
Speaker 10: thing and it's just not even coming to I mean.
Speaker 3: It goes on to there's got a number of Dish
Speaker 3: TV TVs that should work. It then says it then says,
Speaker 3: please factory reset if you've lost Sky Open, Al Jazeera,
Speaker 3: Bravo and Eden one, which you have. Right, you have
Speaker 3: done all that, so you've got the factory reset and
Speaker 3: you've got to click on Dish TV Support to see
Speaker 3: how to do that.
Speaker 10: Yeah, mine's optic, something opt two or something.
Speaker 3: I've clicked on Dish Knowledge. What's your one?
Speaker 10: Well, I'll turn it on then and we'll anyhow, it's
Speaker 10: it's a bit better. I haven't really had the nerve
Speaker 10: to talk about anything else when you do call. But
Speaker 10: now this is something right down my alley today because
Speaker 10: I just come home and it was like what the heck?
Speaker 10: And I thought, oh, to other TV. I've got another
Speaker 10: room and that's it does work because it's more of
Speaker 10: a modern TV. This one here is in the room
Speaker 10: and I just have to go over to my.
Speaker 11: This goes on.
Speaker 10: So I'm in Wakato, New Zealand, go to tuning Tuning
Speaker 10: Wizard what what was I need to find out? The
Speaker 10: Dish TV installation system setting? H I really, I don't
Speaker 10: know what am I looking for? Again, I don't know
Speaker 10: factory default, I've done all that. Do you want to
Speaker 10: do it? And yeah, Dish TV anyway, it's it says
Speaker 10: it's technical support here, but I don't think I think
Speaker 10: it's this is just a very old thing and anyway,
Speaker 10: that's that's about all I can I thought someone might say, yeah,
Speaker 10: because someone, some guy did talk recently. He says, if
Speaker 10: you used to get Algazeira and sky open, it should
Speaker 10: it should be working af as long as you're just
Speaker 10: doing new wiz, doing new.
Speaker 3: Issue, and please reset. If you've lost those, you go
Speaker 3: to a practy reset.
Speaker 33: Yeah.
Speaker 10: But my my thing is that half a year ago
Speaker 10: I lost those on this day I used to get them,
Speaker 10: and then they went off and I got it. I
Speaker 10: had everything else. I'm thinking this is a long term,
Speaker 10: but it's been this thing's been happening for a while
Speaker 10: maybe and then well you've.
Speaker 3: Been to go yeah, okay, Well Michael, yeah, good luck
Speaker 3: with that. Even Marcus, welcome.
Speaker 10: Harry Marcus.
Speaker 3: Good even now, I.
Speaker 27: Thought I heard on one of your news bulletins that
Speaker 27: those clop On lanes are past few years by day.
Speaker 3: Are they?
Speaker 27: I think so? Getting close? Okay, And then I was
Speaker 27: just going to mention the porpoishows last Sunday and Prettige Bay.
Speaker 27: How many, Ah, hard to say how many? Maybe fifty
Speaker 27: sixty up.
Speaker 3: By the causeway all the way through the bay.
Speaker 27: They were chasing the big, big lot of piltures around. Gee.
Speaker 3: So they went right up towards the.
Speaker 27: Like, right right up to wharf road.
Speaker 4: Gee.
Speaker 27: Yeah, it was a good, good little display.
Speaker 3: Brilliant up towards the dirt track that way.
Speaker 30: Ah.
Speaker 27: They sort of stopped at the the I don't know
Speaker 27: if you knew where the old houseboat used to sit.
Speaker 9: Yes, between Anzac and wharf Road.
Speaker 27: They went to a sort of about that far and
Speaker 27: back out the bay round the place.
Speaker 10: They stayed in here all day.
Speaker 5: Three here all day with a big patch of pilches.
Speaker 3: I've never really seen porpoises and Putticky Bay at all.
Speaker 13: Really.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they've been in here a few times, okay, because
Speaker 2: we spent We spent until I.
Speaker 27: Thought i'd let you know, but you some information.
Speaker 3: How are you even fifty? Hard to count fifty or sixty?
Speaker 27: Right, yes, yeah, it's hard to count, but there's a
Speaker 27: pretty big part in here.
Speaker 3: Okay, good to hear. Yeah, we get them off into
Speaker 3: the Old Bluff Harbor. But yeah, anyway, that's neither here
Speaker 3: nor there. I don't you ever get amounts that would
Speaker 3: be that big. I haven't seen a ceiling there for
Speaker 3: a while. Good evening, Timmitt's Marcus, welcome, Hey Marcus, something.
Speaker 34: Not too sure you're tracking the storm that's coming out with?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, what are you tracking it on?
Speaker 10: Well?
Speaker 34: Just really okay, yeah, just updating myself. And looks like
Speaker 34: it's going to miss the North Island. But as you
Speaker 34: know in the past, the canteens trajectory, and.
Speaker 3: I think even though it's coming down the west of
Speaker 3: the North Island, the way it's going, it's bringing all
Speaker 3: that rain across to the North Island. So there's going
Speaker 3: to be a ton of rain in any way and
Speaker 3: strong winds.
Speaker 34: I would think, yeah, well one hundred kilometers are now
Speaker 34: in the far North there, but I'm not too sure
Speaker 34: if you know this, Marcus, We've had quite a deep
Speaker 34: rout here in the North.
Speaker 3: Where are you are you in the Far North?
Speaker 10: Tom?
Speaker 14: Yeah?
Speaker 34: Yeah, I am now okay, I live up in a
Speaker 34: small town called Kyle.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, yeah, I'm familiar with.
Speaker 34: That, yeap, just before Cape Ringer. So yeah, we're expecting
Speaker 34: actually we need to down for because the graild up
Speaker 34: here has just been horrendous.
Speaker 3: But it's a mixed blessing for you, isn't Kyle? Isn't
Speaker 3: it flood prone?
Speaker 19: Oh?
Speaker 34: Very flood prone. I mean the last time, you know,
Speaker 34: when it was a cycling Gabriel that came to you. Yes,
Speaker 34: because of the lowlands and whatnot around here, it just
Speaker 34: fills up like nobody's business, like a bathtub. And and
Speaker 34: this is you know, this as news that we've just
Speaker 34: heard in the last couple of days about this film.
Speaker 34: So I could intensify when it comes past the far
Speaker 34: north ye Friday, Yeah, I.
Speaker 3: So is it you're is it raining there now?
Speaker 10: Sorry?
Speaker 3: Is it raining where you are?
Speaker 27: Now?
Speaker 28: Uh?
Speaker 34: It's truthly, it's truly. It's not too bad at the moment,
Speaker 34: but you know, you prepare for the wist for the
Speaker 34: prest don't.
Speaker 3: And there's quite strong winds, quite strong.
Speaker 34: Winds, very strong ones. What like Midsiphus was saying, is
Speaker 34: looking at a hundred kilometers winds?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would imagine it's going to be a requiet
Speaker 3: easter in the north. I don't know if that's good
Speaker 3: or bad for you, but I think probably the orchards
Speaker 3: will be staying home, won't they. They're not going to
Speaker 3: be heading off into that because it looks I mean,
Speaker 3: you know you don't want a holiday where it's wet,
Speaker 3: do you.
Speaker 7: Well?
Speaker 34: Yeah, yes, yes, it would be great if they didn't
Speaker 34: come in their droves. But I'm just hoping the local
Speaker 34: businesses king cope. Does they really rely on this stuff?
Speaker 34: Shappy in the finals?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it'll be important for them, but I can't work
Speaker 3: out what's going to happen. Okay, we'll stay in touch
Speaker 3: the next day or so as well. But yeah, okay,
Speaker 3: did you say this window? There's not much that wind.
Speaker 34: Yet, not much shit, but you can kind of senten's brewing.
Speaker 3: Okay, here's someone else said. That's nice to hear from you.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Andrew, Marcus.
Speaker 28: Welcome, good evening, Marcus. How are you this evening?
Speaker 3: Good? Thank you Andrew.
Speaker 28: It's good to hear. I'm the music Andrew that spoke
Speaker 28: to the other night about a police hour of music things.
Speaker 3: That I have.
Speaker 28: Oh yeah, do you remember ye?
Speaker 3: Like radio.
Speaker 6: What was it?
Speaker 28: Yeah, the CD players and old stuff and that sort
Speaker 28: of thing. What we're asking about redheads? Do they get
Speaker 28: much hassle? Yeah, So I've got a little bit of
Speaker 28: experience about fifty five years where it's been a red hit.
Speaker 28: Although not it's not that I am anymore. My lovely
Speaker 28: older sister said to me the other day, you know,
Speaker 28: you wouldn't know you're a red head anymore. You're completely gray.

Speaker 28: mom passed away not quite two months ago at age

Speaker 28: I've worked with them. He used to tease me a bit,
Speaker 28: but in a good way, you know what I mean,
Speaker 28: in an adult way. So he'd called me either like
Speaker 28: blood nuts or pant pants or period head.
Speaker 3: Oh hell, okay, there.

Speaker 3: saw on the chips that see on the wolfs. Okay, Look,
Speaker 3: I don't know what the answer is there, Greg, you
Speaker 3: mean yeah, but I think it's a hundred k's Okay.
Speaker 33: I heard Tim from Kyo talking and he's monitoring. It
Speaker 33: would be good if he could sort of now. But
Speaker 33: that means yes, to stay up all night and yeah,
Speaker 33: and just give a bit of a bit of a
Speaker 33: forecast on the wind speeds or something, you know, because
Speaker 33: we're sort of preparing for it at the at work
Speaker 33: here tonight.
Speaker 3: What are you supposed to do with the wood chips?
Speaker 33: We make panel board out of it.
Speaker 3: But if the wouldn't get too strong, you're supposed to
Speaker 3: not bring them inside or I mean, you wouldn't be
Speaker 3: able to do too much, could you.
Speaker 33: Oh no, No, We've got a bit of a mountain
Speaker 33: here anyway, so some of it will blow away or
Speaker 33: blow around, but all and all, we've still got to
Speaker 33: have enough.
Speaker 3: Okay, we'll see if I got one more called Greek?

Speaker 3: Thank you?
Speaker 14: That's the way I've got a I've lost freeview. I'm
Speaker 14: in the far North and I've lost Freeview. I've got
Speaker 14: a two year old TV and a two year old
Speaker 14: Freeview box, and I just sort of I've got no
Speaker 14: channels at all. And I heard the guy before saying
Speaker 14: that you didn't need you just need to reprogram or
Speaker 14: change things to you could use both the TV and
Speaker 14: the freeview.
Speaker 10: Is that right?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I don't know what you're supposed to do with that, though.
Speaker 3: I think he's going to reach you in your box
Speaker 3: to see if it works.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I've tried that, and I just wondered whether I
Speaker 14: would have to reposition the aeriel Like.
Speaker 3: No one's saying that yes, that has been mentioned at all.
Speaker 3: But if it's a new, if it's if it's just
Speaker 3: a fairly recent freeview thing, you should be fine with it.
Speaker 3: But yeah, there are have you got the internet?
Speaker 14: No, no, I'm in the finals so it hasn't come
Speaker 14: up our road or anything yet.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm not entirely. I don't want to give
Speaker 3: you much more advice because it's it all seems slightly confusing.
Speaker 3: But if you can, have you turned off at the wall.
Speaker 14: They have tried that. That's the first thing. I try
Speaker 14: that with every device, mate.
Speaker 3: I think the worst thing is it's only about seventy
Speaker 3: five bucks for a new dakoder. But it's going to
Speaker 3: be a pain if that doesn't work, isn't it.
Speaker 14: Yeah, well the thing is a couple of years old,
Speaker 14: so it's that. I suppose it's like a mobile phone.
Speaker 14: When you say it.
Speaker 3: Should still be fine, they said, because they've got a
Speaker 3: lot of the They've got a big list of all
Speaker 3: the brands that should still be good with the new one,
Speaker 3: and I think yours is probably one of those. It
Speaker 3: must just need a retune.
