It's not going up until June 2004, the Ipstar satellite is HUGE. the only
problem in NZ will be the look angle to point the dish at will be rather low
which could be problems for some. Skys satellite is at 160E Ipstar will be
at 122E basically left of where Sky dishes point and almost vertical.

As for Shin Satellite they own Thaicom 1,2,3 none of which cover NZ.
