| 1137503 | 2010-09-17 05:02:00 | That was my point,a strange question for a scientist. Not a strange question at all, but then you are not a scientist :) The telcos are extremely unlikely to use the same equipment at existing translators, after all they wont be transmitting TV programs, though they may well have plans to use the same sites for some very localised service of some sort. Many translators, like the one just up the hill behind us, about 100 metres or less in a direct line, are low power and serve only very small areas. Terrestial Freeview would not be obtainable in our area being in a valley. Looking at the existing coverage map, shows many areas (for eg. around Upper Hutt) where there would be no terrestial Freeview reception if the existing translators were not converted to digital. |

| 1137504 | 2010-09-17 07:27:00 | A bit of afternoon viewing for you Snort............ www.google.co.nz Definition of a Luddite for your edification:- In modern usage, "Luddite" is a term describing those opposed to industrialisation (www.pressf1.co.nz), automation (www.pressf1.co.nz), computerisation (www.pressf1.co.nz) or new technologies (www.pressf1.co.nz) in general.[1] (www.pressf1.co.nz) I may add that quite a few Luddites went off to populate Australia and New Zealand as they were transported. They were followed by whinging Poms, Union leaders, People who paid 10 quid for a ticket as in assisted immigrants etc. There also may be assorted Romans who got here too. I hope you were not accusing me of being a Luddite because if so you are patently wrong. Just today I have used my car as opossed to a horse, used a phone instead of morse code, used an ATM and Internet banking, and last but least used a computer to compose this message. |

| 1137505 | 2010-09-17 07:46:00 | We currently get Freeview with indoor tv aerial [rabbit's ears] , Is this not digital [seem like it as 'teletext' pages load quick compared to the TV with no Freeview]? If not are there indoor satellite aerials? [As wiring a house could/will be costly , especially with walls up]. |

My point was and I know it might be a tricky,was,you are decrying that we are moving from analogue to digital,that is Ludditic.. |

| 1137507 | 2010-09-17 08:59:00 | Can someone explain that to me, please? :confused: Does that mean like if you had a sky decoder and you wanted to watch one channel every other TV in the house would have to watch that channel ? :waughh: :stare: Yes. If you want to watch more than one channel at a time, you need more than one Sky (or freeview) box. |
