Hey Aussies

this may be a stupid question - but is SBS free to air? I see that the tdf is live on SBS and I am going to be in Sydney over the last weekend of the tour staying with my Aunty who doesn't have pay tv (here NZ the tdf is on pay tv)

There is a 30 minute summary at 6pm daily.
Then they start the live coverage at about 10-30 pm and it goes through the night.

It sucks you in to watch just a bit more and a bit more......and then you are exhausted all the next day.:)

I think that SBS does a great job. And not too many ads.

No. I'm going over because I had a Pacific Blue (Virgin Blue) credit from when I had to change some travel plans. I have to use it by mid August. Me and bf did think about going to the Gold Coast to get warm for a week, but we couldn't coordinate our work schedules and I haven't seen my Aunt for nearly two years.

hi Kiwi girl. Just ask your aunty if she has SBS on her TV. If not try and Tune the TV for her. In Brisbane the frequency is UHF 28. dunno what it is in Sydney.
