gemfyreSo I went out and bought a DVD/VCR player today. I figured I'll get it today so I can get UHF channels, tune into WIN and watch Idol tomorrow.
So I tune it in, it goes finding channels. It finds 3 different channels. Yay!
Then I check the channels. GWN as usual. ABC as usual. The other channel is SBS. Apparently here you either get WIN or SBS, they require the aerial to be facing in opposite directions for each of them. Just my luck my aerial is facing the SBS direction and I have no way to turn it in the near future.
Goddammit!

still not perfect, but it's probably got better bandwidth than downloading them on dialup...
