  1. we need the two ronnies and other british sitcoms as you aware that fox classics showing some of those shows I gather they will stay put

  2. Foxtel continue to replace existing HD channels with new ones instead of purchasing additional transponders. This seriously reduces the need to be a conventional STV subscriber as HD channels are one of the few things that make it unique from IPTV alternatives.
