I was having a look on Alkris and noticed some aerials say they only receive, for example, channels 27 - 69. I couldn't find the info about which channels freeview is being broadcast or will be broadcast on, does anyone (apsattv probably) :p know if there are some UHF aerials that may not receive all the freeview channels? I was looking at something like this (alkrisshop.shopnz.biz), looks pretty funky. Are they as good as for example this (alkrisshop.shopnz.biz)? Thanks. :) PS - I assume it will be broadcasting from Grampians? If so the distance is 30km with the occasional tree in the way.	wratterus (105)

The only real consideration is the physical mounting requirements and the gain, in good reception areas you can get away with almost any aerial. Bit convoluted but you can find the frequencies on freeviews website, and you should be able to google NZ tv channel frequency list to see what numbers they relate to.	dugimodo (138)

1188585	2011-03-23 02:16:00	Lucky you Mot is away from the hills so you will actually get UHF, not us being close up under the Grampian's not much chance	gary67 (56)
1188586	2011-03-23 02:48:00	Bugger, that sucks. Do you get anything at the moment from there?	wratterus (105)
1188587	2011-03-23 05:47:00	We can get prime on UHF but the other stations are like snow storms. So we use freeview satellite using the old sky dish which was on the house when we bought it	gary67 (56)

Now all I need is for Nelson to get ADSL2 and I can move there!! :D	nofam (9009)

If you can get Prime you will get Freeview HD from either site once it starts.	apsattv (7406)
