760922 2009-03-31 04:25:00 I notice www.stuff.co.nz states it will work in our "9 largest cities". Does anyone know what these cities would be? I imagine it really means "population centres" as opposed to cities, right?

Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch (obviously), Hamiltion, Tauranga, Napier-Hastings, Dunedin, Palmerston North, and...the ninth could be anywhere. Invercargill, Nelson, New Plymouth, Rotorua, Whangerei, or perhaps a bunch of small towns in close proximity such as those on the Kapiti Coast + Levin?

You can check coverage here (www.freeviewnz.tv).

760924 2009-03-31 12:39:00 Ah it makes sense now, that article counts Napier and Hastings separately. Never knew Hastings was bigger than Napier, I had a quick check on wiki to see if they would indeed be the 8th and 9th largest cities in the country. Kindel (6640)

Note that the coverage checker errs on the side of caution, for example it lists my parents' place in Whakatane as "unlikely" even though it works perfectly.

760929 2009-04-03 06:06:00 Didnt realise Freeview was perfect in Whakatane - DO you know if its any good in Ohope? I rang freeview and they say to look on the website....but it says unlikely...

UHF really sucks here....but am thinking of holding off till tivo...

760930 2009-04-03 19:45:00 Doesn't look like it (www.freeviewnz.tv) :(

It's broadcast from Te Aroha and the hill is in the way. I don't think that they can do much about that.
