| 783353 | 2009-06-18 09:14:00 | www.dse.co.nz I have more like an aerial like this.. That one is a combined UHF/VHF aerial, so if you are in a good area it should work. |

| 783354 | 2009-06-18 09:16:00 | ... we are never going to have a UHF transmitter here ... You will, eventually. If they try to turn off analog TV without a local Freeview transmitter, your MP will get a bollocking. |

| 783355 | 2009-06-18 09:19:00 | It's strange because when you let it search for channels none can be found, so the signal must not be strong enough, but it gets tv1 2 and 3 and cv4 perfectly | mark1978 (13845) | ||
| 783356 | 2009-06-18 09:21:00 | Maybe am doing something wrong... | mark1978 (13845) | ||
| 783357 | 2009-06-18 10:11:00 | Try asking at dtvforum.co.nz | apsattv (7406) | ||
| 783358 | 2009-06-18 10:32:00 | You should still be able to get DVB-S Freeview from your satellite dish, but it will only be standard-definition. It's probably worth getting someone in with the right gear to assess signal strength; you can add an amp to the signal chain to increase gain a little. Aerials are around $90, amps about $70. |

| 783359 | 2009-06-19 20:58:00 | Thanks guys, much appreciated your posts! I have freeview in the bedroom on a decoder, The SKY technician was here about 3 months ago and he said there was a fault with the dish, he put a double lbn on it? (did I say that right?) | mark1978 (13845) | ||
| 783360 | 2009-06-20 00:37:00 | Terrestrial (UHF) Freeview and Satellite Freeview use totally different transmission systems. Your Panasonic TV won't run off the dish without a box in between, and can't pick up UHF because your area is without a decent signal, if the map I linked earlier is still current. :( | seltsam (13470) | ||

| 783362 | 2009-06-20 01:42:00 | The Freeview TV are a bit of a con. They sell them in Masterton but we are never going to have a UHF transmitter here so it is a total waste of money getting them. Not really a con. In a few years when and if analog TV gets turned off these will be the only TVs that will work without a set top box.. |
