| 878773 | 2010-04-21 04:29:00 | The prob isnt with Freeview, the prob is there is NO UHF HD transmitter on Mt Egmont. Which is probably where it would be broadcast from. If it existed. However, it looks like there is a UHF transmitter for Sky there somewhere. But it wont be HD either. And the only way Freeview will get it is if Sky give it (altho, it probably wont work anyway). The closest transmitter near you by the looks of it, are Wharite / Ohakune and Hamilton |

| 878775 | 2010-04-21 04:43:00 | That makes sense Speedy, and they wont want to upgrade the transmitter as it only covers half of Taranaki... Wonder if i got a tall pole and see if i could get a signal from waikato....Na too hard and would probably be so high i restrict airpspace here Guess it is hiring BR for me forever EDIT: sucks eh Wratt |

| 878776 | 2010-04-21 05:07:00 | They have satellite coverage there, no? | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 878777 | 2010-04-21 05:09:00 | Yup, BUT by the sounds of it, Gobe wants HD which satellite doesnt have / support | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 878778 | 2010-04-21 05:09:00 | They have satellite coverage there, no? Yeah but it's just not the same... :groan: For me it's just as much the quality as the ease of use having a TV with a built in tuner, there's enough bloody STBs, decoders and cables behind the TV as it is. |

| 878780 | 2010-04-21 09:59:00 | I hear that for us in Taranaki we will get freeview HD before end of 2012. | radium (8645) | ||
| 878781 | 2010-04-21 10:20:00 | I know a few people who sell electronics in chain stores, and they have been told that Invercargill will get freeview HD in about 3 years. That is a very different story than you will get if you email them - probably the same situation all over the country. I hope the chain stores are right, but I'm not holding my breath. |

| 878782 | 2010-04-21 22:10:00 | Woohoo, sounds good. I would just like them to confirm it is actually gonna be done one day. I have all the gear to watch HD (TV etc) but no available signal :( I might get SD for now jsut to improve the picture a little and give me a few channels C4 etc Good luck Greven and Wratt, hopefully oneday it will happen |
