| 725338 | 2008-12-03 03:36:00 | There are numerous other low powered transmitters scattered around Auckland for people who have large hills between their receiver and Waitarua. For example, there is one in Penrose for those behind One Tree Hill, so while you are most probably are receiving Waitarua, there could be a chance that you are on a repeater. If you can see the Waitakere hills, you can most probably see the Waitarua transmitter, perhaps with the aid of binoculars. If it is visible, I would say you are tuned to channel two and therefore some kilometres from the transmitter. If you are able to check the frequency you are receiving on TV One, that may tell you. TV One in Auckland operates on Channel Two. Any other frequency besides channel two (not the same as TV2 which is on channel four) may indicate that you are on a repeater which may be nearby. If you do not know the frequency you are receiving, you may be able to tell by looking at the set up on your video or DVD recorder. Many makes display the frequency. You did not say why you wanted to know. |
