| 638150 | 2008-02-07 07:57:00 | If it is one of the official Freeview STBs then you can only access the official Freeview channels. You would need to buy a regular satellite decoder. | maccrazy (6741) | ||
| 638151 | 2008-02-07 14:34:00 | also CTV8 is free-to-air, how do i receive it ?? Thanks CTV 8 Is FTA in Auckland on UHF. If you want FTA Chinese channels the best investment would be a real satellite dish. A 2.4 meter on Chinasat6B will give you heaps. www.lyngsat.com |

You would need to buy a regular satellite decoder. maccrazy not just a "regular satellite decoder" but TV Card will also pick up Freeview. Currently a TV card providing it is DVT-S (Satellite) can be split into a sky dish and pick up all freeview channels, OR, hooked up to a bigger Satellite dish and can also pick up some of the Australian and overseas channels. NZ is currently testing DVB-T (Terrestrial) in a few areas and this should come available mid 2008. The DVB-T will be transmitted via UHF aerials connected to your DVB-T cards. A few companies making TV cards. See http://www.hauppauge.co.uk for a few models. There is also a couple of other threads on Freeview on this forum. As to getting Chinese channels, it is probably better to take apsattv's advice. |
