SKY NZ always had issues with their uplink ,from MT Wellington. Whenever the weather in this part of Auckland got bad everyone on satellite would lose pictures because the uplink satellite dish was not up to the job. <br />Its mainly because they are a cheap company. They cut corners on everything to save a few bucks , including making their staff work terrible hours with no union or anyone to represent them. <br />I think if they did lose their satellite , then it would open the market for a decent competitor
