I've heard about this many, many times. What's in there? Where can I access it, and how?

This page pretty much sums it up:

I don't know how many students are devoted users of the service. I suppose free sat. TV would be one the few incentives for such high fees.

BBC! w00t!

yea since we get tablet pcs for IS 320 this sem we have been using them to watch 20/20 and Simpsons during boring lectures.

I watched me some japanese tv the other day, was pretty funny.

The accent or the faces?

lol i have my japanese gameshow...i'll have to take that in to work so i can broadband email it to people...

I personally just want to watch BBC and maybe CCTV-4. There's only a few good channels on Sky TV and they are:

- History Channel
- BBC
- Discovery Channel

I want to watch the BBC too.


Has anyone seen a japanese game show called Takeshi's Castle? Its fucking hilarious.

My Cambell Live appearance was on there, so was the 20/20 thing with the Hambeast and the election coverage where Dan Bidois got caught out at the National Party Party.

It really is a fantastic thing, you can just sit there if you're bored shitless watching anything and everything!

Ok, so turns out it isn't free! Our IT guy sent around an email to the exec and staff saying he had just recieved the bill for SatTv and it was huge! Ooops.

Well it is free... on the Uni system.

I used to watch "The Simpsons" all the time at work but I can't find them on it anymore. The hoes would always watch "Sex & The City".

we get told off at work for listening to the fucking radio through the net...but its the only way we pick up upfm...so we got our hands slapped every month...

Sardonic is right, it is free on the University netowrk so it doesnt chew up any NetLogin credit at all.

Unisat is a great service, unforutnately they're in a little strife a the moment where they can get the recorded rprogrammes up on the site, which is strange. Its been like this for a few wks. And the live streams page is full of phantom links.

But anyways, when its working properly Unisat is a very good service. Personally I would watch it in the Commons at times when the labs arent too busy - it just doesnt seem fair to be sitting there watching TV in the middle of the day while people are waiting to use a computer.

Whats the link? How do I get it when im in the labs? What do I have to click on?

Hi Steveo,

its www.arts.auckland.ac.nz/unisat
Click on on-demand recordings for programmes, and click on live streams for live channels.

Cheers DoubleD! I'd been wondering where to get hold of it since I spoke with you about the service a while ago.

Now that's progressive.
