Sky Television Boss (Mr. John Fellet) hates Cricket. He does not bring selected Cricket feeds, which other PayTV and free to air networks around the world do, in High-Definition (HD) to New Zealand subscribers.
Below listed are tournaments since 2008 which John Fellet has not shown in (HD):
Tournaments available in HD:
2008 IPL Cricket March/April: Other Networks carried this event in HD overseas.
2009 IPL Cricket March/April: Other Networks carried this event in HD overseas.
2009 ICC Twenty20 World Cup: Other Networks carried this event in HD.
2009 ICC Champions Trophy: Other Networks will carry this event in HD.
The Sky New Zealand Boss simply hates Cricket. He will not show any of the events regardless if they are available in HD or not to New Zealand viewers in HD.
This petition aims to educate all Sky subsribers of the unfair attitude Sky has towards Cricket. Those Cricket lovers and those who enjoy Cricket should not subscribe to Sky you should just watch the feeds available for free on the internet.
Sky have not taken the ICC Champions Trophy in HD which is originating in HD and being shown in Australia in Full HD. Sky will show this in SD here in New Zealand.We the undersigned wish to see more Cricket events in HD. We want to see every major International event originating in HD to be shown on Sky in HD as intended. We are unhappy that Sky hate Cricket and disrespect the sport. By disrespecting Cricket, Sky are disrespecting the viewers and what they want to watch. Sky are the only westernized broadcast Company to show so little Cricket in HD. This we feel is unacceptable and things need to change.
*We want to see every Cricket event in HD to be shown in HD on Sky like Rugby and other sports.
*We want to see every event originating in HD to be shown in HD on Sky in New Zealand.
*We want to see more respect for Cricket.
