   Here in New Zealand "Doctor Who" was always on the free-to-air channels   
   (as well as a Sky TV channel) ... until the Disney agreement stopped   
   it. If Disney decides to pull out after the up-coming spin-off show,   
   then the show might return to free-to-air channels again.   
      
      
   We record everything we want to watch on the Sky TV box, so we can   
   watch it when it suits us and so we can fast forward through the advert   
   breaks. We very rarely watch anything 'live' these days.
