Your never going to get the same version as the US, because the rights
to the programs belong with FTA and other PayTV stations here.

Yup, shows like dr.who and blakes seven(both BBC owned) won't be on the
aus sci-fi channel(at least for the forseeable future), probably
because the BBC would want alot of money for the rights or the UKTV
channel has the exclusive rights for them in aust(or both).

Welcome to re runs of old series. If they could show some new series
over waiting for the free to air channels then I'd subscibe to it.

Or even new seasons of old shows.

LOTS of reruns of Stargate SG-1, Battlestar Galactica (the new one),
X-files, Andromeda, and did I mention Stargate SG-1? And often?
Sometimes they'll take a show all day long, like Quantum Leap for 6 or 8
straight hours, but at least they are in order, thank goodness.
Once in a while they have original movies that they had made or bought
but they're usually low-grade TV quality. Once in a blue moon, they'll
show a major sci-fi motion picture -- but with billions of hours of
commercials.
There are some new serials that are all pretty bland, too.

It used to cost $12/year when it was on C-band, and that's about what
it's worth.

That said, I still check daily to see if I want it again. :)

Looking at a few days programming, I'd say it's nearly identical to what
is on in the US, except we don't get Firefly anymore. That was a good one.
