| 1371796 | 2014-04-04 10:03:00 | The Freeview signal map for Wanganui is shown here www.freeviewshop.co.nz The reason I said Wharite is because that site covers a large area and you may get a better signal in that direction if your local site is blocked. |

I dont think we have a local site anymore. I cannot put up the pictures of our aerial. Tried using this sites program but it wont work for me. There are two aerials connected "up there" &run down thro the roof space into the lounge. Onne is the old big one & the other is a modern one, about a year old.The wiring inside the thw lounge is cat 5 or 6. The one from the roof down is older, black & thinner. It needs replacing. Looking at that map we are in the "Uncertain" area. PJ |

| 1371798 | 2014-04-04 22:19:00 | You'll need a freeview satellite receiver. If you mean for freeview. Something like this (www.dicksmith.co.nz) Its what I use here as well as the TV with builtin freeview UHF. The firmware on this may not be the latest. If it isn't it's here (www.dishtv.co.nz) Speedy...Are you saying that your TV has a built in UHF box & you are running it off a Satellite dish & box? I didnt think that was possible> PJ |

| 1371799 | 2014-04-04 22:20:00 | No I've got a satellite receiver as well. So, I can switch between the 2 | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1371800 | 2014-04-04 22:29:00 | Try to get a aerial like a phased array from a traders wholesale store that sells to the public also - try it out ... if not return it - check first. Alternatively, get someone in for about $50 to check if you can get or not, if you cannot just get Freeview Sat dish non - HD or go Sky like Pctek says. Could also get this meter for $30. Plug the aerial on it and walk on the roof while looking at the meter. www.dishtv.co.nz Sorry that was dish - but you could find something for UHF. Here: www.dishtv.co.nz |

| 1371802 | 2014-04-04 22:40:00 | I have both UHF and a dish. The UHF is builtin. The satellite receiver is connected with HDMI. So I can switch between it and UHF | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1371803 | 2014-04-04 22:40:00 | Most TVs if not all have builtin UHF receiver (Freeview HD) - you just plug it to the wall or use rabbit ears if you're in a good reception area . If you wanna get sat dish for whatever reason - you can plug that in if you have a Sky box or a Freeview Sat box . You just switch it to a HDMI 1 or HDMI 2 or AV if your TV is not modern . |

| 1371804 | 2014-04-04 22:51:00 | Yup which is what I did. The TV has 3 HDMI. The sat receiver is in one, the bluray in the other. Might chuck an Xbox on the 3rd | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1371805 | 2014-04-04 22:58:00 | OK Thanks. Will look into that. Will try to borrow a Sat Box to try it out. PJ | Poppa John (284) | ||
