Thanks for that. I cannot get UHF reception in my location so Terrestial is out anyway. So it's back to the drawing board as I wanted HD from Freeview but that is obviously not possible. Can I not pick up Australian broadcasts in HD from the satellite receivers as the advertising implies you can e.g Topfield TF5050CI, Topfield TF6000PVR ES and Ultraplus F-9000HD PVR from FreeViewShop?

839003 2009-12-14 04:55:00 I have no idea, never had a satellite receiver. You would have to send an email to the guys @ freeview.. I'm using a DVB-T tuner at the mo. It does a good enough job. A lot cheaper, than buying a box for the TV. Might invest in an LCD with it on one day. When I can be bothered saving up for one Speedy Gonzales (78)

Yes - will email FreeViewShop for more information and for any receiver reviews. Thanks for your help. Go well.

839008 2009-12-15 09:40:00 But is it in NZ? Speedy Gonzales (78)
839009 2009-12-15 10:42:00 Yes
SBS Australia in HD is currently on a transponder that beams also to New Zealand.

You can even tweak a Freeview satellite receiver to tune into it.
