Switch from Vodafone TV to Dish

Jimmy from Titirangi

So, I am now with Dish TV. It wasn't my choice. It is because Vodafone realized that they aren't a TV service provider.

I switched to Vodafone TV a couple of years ago from Dish TV when fiber was available. If a flock of birds went by or there was a little bit of rain, my Dish TV signal went out. Once I switched, I no longer had to hope for clear skies in order to have reception from the unsightly dish on my roof.

Now, I have until some time in September to glob together a group of providers to get the same services or have a mostly useful and ugly dish on my roof. Satellite dish TV is 1980's technology and requires mostly clear skies.

Freeview NZ channels require yet another item mounted to my roof (Two actually since I have two TVs) and wouldn't work in my house anyway. I don't have decent line of sight to the Freeview towers.

Does any other provider have service similar to what Vodafone was?

What are others doing or planning to do?

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
