yeah we have Foxtel Digital Cable (not the IQ one where you can rewind/fast forward/record etc... - would love that though!)

Edit: I think we definately goin into american culture.. not a bad thing in my opinion, :thebirds:

like 90% of our shows are american, especially on foxtel hehe

I got tired of it after a few episodes.

Each time I sat and watched it I could actually feel my IQ drop........

Digital/Analogue - if we are talking satellite Foxtel, that has always been digital.

Select TV is another pay tv choice, fully digital naturally. English package @ $29.95/month and no contracts, you are free to use your own sat gear, add-ons later:
http://www.selecttv.com.au/

Downside, not good for AUS specific sports nuts.

A freeview channel loads - shows one of the english channels each day.

Have not seen this "Man Show", but it sounds like a American version of the old "Blokes World" that was a huge hit on CH31. Then it went to CH10, with a late Friday night timeslot. Now I don't know when or if it's still on.

The "Man Show" Sounds like a rip off of "Blocks World".

Some of the things the fat kid says to women and anyone he encounters for that matter are hilarious.
Still a pretty dumb show though. You don't need to be able to do much more than hold a beer & grunt to understand it.

I think it has the potential to be a funny show, but for some reason I don't really like it.
