While I don't watch Coronation Street and am unphased about it moving to an earlier time slot many loyal watchers are upset. While TVNZ did raise the rating argument this, unsurprisingly, has not pleased the fans. While many have suggested that you could automatically record Coronation Street and watch it later it is somewhat surprising that TVNZ did not point out that you don't need to record it to watch it when you want to. Afterall not everyone is able to record programs through services such as tivo, MySky, or even a standard VCR or DVD recorder.
Coronation Street is available On Demand through TVNZ's website.
This means that you can watch it when you want to.
In fact you can watch it online at 7.30pm if you want to.
While Coronation Street's key demographic probably aren't currently heavy users of TVNZ On Demand this is an opportunity for TVNZ to change that. An opportunity to introduce a new group of users to convenience the On Demand experience.
It's not all a bed of roses though. It does require a solid internet connection, dial-up won't cut it, and a fair amount of data. Anything less than a spare 1GB of data on the monthly plan might leave room for concern.
