Try not to get sucked into the TV trap, but make sure you check out TVNZ’s television download service. If you miss an episode of your favourite series or want to enjoy a programme for the second time, then this may be for you. They’ve even included some classic moments from the archives of New Zealand television, alongside popular current shows from TV One and TV2 (my picks are the satirical Facelift and Eating Media Lunch).
And if all those hours of watching TV have whittled away your brainpower, don’t fret – it’s simple to use!
You can download programmes onto your computer to watch at your leisure through Windows Media Player, or you can view them straight away on your computer via the streaming option. All you need to do is purchase a licence to watch each show; it’s a steal at just $2.00 a pop. This fee allows you to watch the show as many times as you want for a period of seven days.
There’s great potential here for all screened television programmes to be available at any hour of the day. For now, it’s mainly New Zealand talent that’s showcased, but there are more programmes lined up for release online soon. Ondemand is a great initiative from our state broadcaster: cheers TVNZ!
