| 868845 | 2010-03-21 00:00:00 | Can anyone tell me if I dump sky tv, what channels will I be able to get? Do they take away the decoder and the dish? I don't want to buy a freeview box either. LL :confused: |

| 868846 | 2010-03-21 00:04:00 | Yes they take away the decoder. You won't be able to get any sky channels or any channels that you receive via the Sky dish. They usually leave the dish. :) |

| 868848 | 2010-03-21 00:22:00 | You'll need a regular UHF aerial to get standard TVNZ and TV3 channels. Eventually when they discontinue analog TV you will have to have either freeview or Sky to receive digital. |

| 868851 | 2010-03-21 02:06:00 | I know you said you didn't want to buy a freeview STB, but have you seen prices? This one for example is $79. That's less than 2 months Sky subscription. www.trademe.co.nz There are many like that on Trademe. |

| 868852 | 2010-03-21 03:02:00 | They are now taking away the satellite dishes too. | bob_doe_nz (92) | ||
| 868853 | 2010-03-21 03:07:00 | Not UHF. VHF. UHF is preferred though - you can get Prime and Freeview then. :thumbs: |

| 868854 | 2010-03-21 03:23:00 | Pctek said that lakewoodlady would be able to get TVNZ channels and TV3 with a UHF antenna. That's what I was reffering to. You need a VHF for those channels. | pine-o-cleen (2955) | ||
