787777 2009-07-01 05:23:00 No, they suck cause i live in New Plymouth, and we dont have enough population to get Freeview HD.
Other than that they are ok, so 50/50 from me

Same in Nelson. However the DVB-S is great, way better quality than Sky on the same channels.

Same here in Whangarei/Northland.
Use the DVB-S option and it is tons better than analogue TV and quite a bit better than standard Sky Digital as well.

787781 2009-07-01 05:56:00 Its good on this, since it was cheap ($99 USB tuner). Stuffed if I'm spending over $200 for terrestrial, or $199 + for the dish as well, for satellite. The mini aerial for this is better than the outside aerial ! Speedy Gonzales (78)
787782 2009-07-01 05:58:00 As a side note to this thread, I tuned in a Topfield STB for a client last week and managed to get 2 aussie channels. Channel 10 and 'Darwin TV'. pine-o-cleen (2955)

787785 2009-07-01 06:15:00 Freeview is Good :), Can get HD, The only thing is it’s hard to tell what’s true HD & what is upscale HD :illogical (And its sucks that TVNZ is only 720p, while tv3 is 1080i :stare:)

We just got a satellite, and we’ve just been getting that all set-up under our media centre computer, so we can get terrestrial & satellite :D

Though the satellite you can find a lot of the aussie channels, but you wont get any picture.
