A thread for people to give opinions and info on all the British football coverage now on numerous channels in NZ such as Sommet Sports (Freeview HD UHF channel 14), Sky TV and TV One.
Have got rid of Sky Sport for the time being myself until the A-League starts (although I still have Sky) and have been getting my football fix from Sommet Sports on Freeview the last month.
Really enjoyed the broadcast of Leicester v Leeds on Sommet Sports on Monday morning which I recorded on my DVD recorder hard drive and watched last night, even if it wasn't a great game and Chris Wood only played the last 15 mins (but did very well and came closest to scoring of any player).
Seeing the Community Shield for free was also good and good commentary from Setanta Sports' UK feed. Some Van Persie magic!!!

I've recently come across this website which streams Sky Sports UK 24/7 for free: EPL, lower leagues, cup ties, European games, whatever:
This awesome website streams all of Sky Sports UK's numerous channels (and some other good UK channels) for free. It's the answer to a Kiwi football fan's dreams!!! Streams all the four Sky Sports channels (and Sky Sports News) direct from the UK 24 hours a day.
Just click away the pesky ads:
