What's changing?
Our satellite TV service is scheduled for updates on Wednesday 3 June:
- Sky Open will upgrade to HD
- TVNZ 1 will go HD nationwide
- Bravo, RUSH, HGTV, Eden and Three+1 will get a behind-the-scenes technical update
You can still watch those channels after 3 June on the same channel numbers, and of course still all for free.
