Sky, Netflix, something called Lightbox. A few channels of 'normal' TV.
You can get pretty much anything via the net these days. I can watch BBC or ITV live for example if I choose to.

Re: really important issues
It is still possible to receive TV shows through an old-fashioned TV aerial if anyone still does that these days. That experience is typically described as dire - because the shows are awful and the ad-breaks are long.
There is SKY TV which will show sport and a lot of shows from America and the UK. I don't know how far behind they are on Coronation Street, Eastenders or Last of the Summer Wine, they are a little bit behind but they are shown.
If you live in a city in NZ now there will be high-speed internet available and the Internet can provide TV you want. I have heard that the different service providers don't offer all shows in all places though so there may be some restrictions.

Re: really important issues
Chorus is the name of the company that provides the network infrastructure, there is a map on their website showing which services are available in specific locations.

Sky TV in New Zealand is a completely different company to Sky TV in the UK so it is similar but not exactly the same.
