These will be sharesies orders..thousands, if not hundreds of thousands new investors buying in to the Investment Dream. Helping us all by pouring money $10,$50, $200 at a time into the market and turning the Share market into something accessible to all as opposed to just another club for the well off. Interesting to note that it has definitely held prices up by enabling larger sellers to sell off larger parces by them being "nibbled off 10/20/30 shares at a time. Before Sharesies, larger sellers were at the mercy of only a few buyers in a falling market. Obviously worked in a similar fashion going up. So perhaps not so much Bots but there were probably a few tots having their retirement accounts bumped up my mum and dad. :)

I didn't actually realise you could only get SD if you use a Freeview box.
Sky has been HD for a while now and the new Optus satellie will allow 4K and 8K...

Will be interesting to see how we market our new STB.
Pilot group should start soon with a full launch by mid year if Sophie's comments are anything to go by.
Have you consulted the freeview terrestrial coverage maps on freeviewnz.tv?
Marginal reception areas can be enhanced with high gain aerials, pre amplifiers and RG6 cable leads.
There will be someone local who has tried and succeeded/failed to get Freeview terrestrial who can advise.
Boop boop de do

PS Chopping down a tree which blocks your line of sight to the transmitter can sometimes help.

Public markets
Looking on the public side of the market, might the aforementioned supply of capital through global private equity players result in more NZX-listed businesses being taken private?
“We have such a small public market here in New Zealand so it's not hard to form a trend,” said Millar. “Could there be some take-privates? I think that there could be, I think there'd be a few assets trading right now where they could be very viable, and take-privates could come out of that.”
However, for private company investors looking for an exit, a private sale is currently much more attractive than an IPO.
“It's hard to see sellers picking the IPO route over the private route at the moment.”

I think this points to any deals with Sky being a straight buyout. Offer $x per share to take the business private (as opposed to using Sky's shares as currency to do a merger and remain a listed business. Just easier/cleaner to take Sky off the NZX/ASX).
Just reading through the Infratil investor day material. In the Vodafone deck they mention they are in advanced stages of preparing a possible separation of the tower component of its mobile network. That is the “passive” assets (the towers and tower sites themselves) of the network into a new company that will enable other companies to install their own mobile network equipment on the towers.

Edit to add: Not sure this is really relevant to Sky, as anyone that wanted to build out a new network would not only have to install their own network equipment but also of course would need its own spectrum rights which Sky doesn’t have. Really this is more for 2 Degrees & Spark to use if they wanted.
Come on results day. Cant wait. I feel apart from financials, some strategy for the future will be announced.
One way or another, Sky will enter mobile.
But I can't see them making the CAPEX required to install their own kit on Vodafone's towers.
In the absence of a takeover by 2D, the more likely scenario for Sky is to do a wholesale mobile deal like they have for broadband. I think 2D is the logical partner given their relationship with Orcon...but I did say a while back that I believe Vodafone would fight hard for the business.
Great for Sky.
Well that daily bullflag most certainly didn't play out! The size of this drop and lowish volume suggests an equilibrium will most likely form, so we are looking for a daily higher low above $2.35. We would then expected to trade in that range and tighten up until it breaks out (in either direction). Looks like buy volume has appeared at the $2.45 level so we may see the daily higher low set here.
Anyway, this is all just noise until results / news on the 24th (unless unusually large volume starts being traded).
