I find it quite odd that Australia knew that d2 was not usable early 2022. And moved all their channels
Yet New Zealand seams to be getting shafted again. Like normal.

It was probably more a Kneejerk reaction from Optus to Relocate services from D2 and then Move D2 over to 160deg where D1 was Failing... Otherwise if they hadn't performed the Changeover then the Country would effectively had a Total Blackout of Sky and Freeview when D1 Failed.

Optus then would have been totally in the Shit...
