| 878783 | 2010-04-22 11:57:00 | Gobe, if you own a Full HD television and want to receive Freeview Satellite, I suggest you buy a HD satellite receiver because then you can upscale to 1080 which should give much better quality than a cheap SD satellite receiver. Greven, have you heard any talk of a Freeview Satellite HD service? |

| 878786 | 2010-04-23 00:32:00 | From the freeviewtv site Will Freeview satellite® be broadcast in high definition (HD)? There are no plans at this stage to broadcast in HD via the satellite platform. This is due to bandwidth limitations and cost – HD requires a much larger amount of bandwidth and SKY TV have leased the majority of the suitable bandwidth on the Optus D1 satellite therefore there is not enough room for Freeview Broadcasters to transmit HD. If, in future years, Freeview Broadcasters did manage to secure additional bandwidth viewers would need to replace their current satellite receiver with one that is capable of decoding an HD signal (much like Sky subscribers need to rent a new HD receiver for their HD service). Freeview|HD® is available to 75% of NZ homes. In the future coverage may expand to include a greater percentage. Check if you’re in the current coverage area here. As well as digital receivers you can now purchase integrated digital televisions (iDTVs) with the Freeview|HD® built in. |

| 878787 | 2010-04-24 11:21:00 | Reception of Freeview HD terrestrial in Taranaki? you might like to try asking on the nzdtv forum. Wharite or Te Aroha or even Mt Kaukau (Wellington) might be options. A start would be if you can pick up Fm radio from any of those sites. Start a thread here www.nzdtv.com Post your google location details. |

Greven, have you heard any talk of a Freeview Satellite HD service? My sony LCD has a reciever so i am hoping it will do this stock FYI here is Freeviews response . . . . . :angry Hi, There are no current plans to extend Freeview|HD(r) past the current nine areas . Any additional coverage requires additional investment in transmission infrastructure and the economic justification to do so . Currently, it is not economic to extend the coverage past the initial nine areas . This is why a fully national Freeview satellite service was launched last year; to ensure all New Zealanders are able to receive digital television without a subscription . There are no plans at this stage for Freeview to broadcast in HD (High Definition) via the satellite platform . This is due to bandwidth limitations and cost - HD requires a much larger amount of bandwidth and SKY TV have leased the majority of the suitable bandwidth on the Optus D1 satellite therefore there is not enough room for Freeview Broadcasters to transmit HD on satellite .
