Default Do UK radios work in NZ

Hi guys,

I know lots of people ask about taking stuff to NZ but a question I haven't seen answered yet is do radio's from the UK work in NZ?

Thanks in Advance.

we bought a small stereo/cd player/radio here and no issue with it working once we changed the plug on it

ps it doesnt pick up uk radio stations here, but I guess you knew that *runs before I get walloped for stating the obvious*

Every thing will work but not the T.V. At least with the radio you will get the full range of radio stations they have out here. if it was a jap one like you get in the import cars your stuffed.

English DAB Digital radios do not work , yet, as NZ has not started a digital network.
Jap radios in cars can be converted by the addition of a small bandwith convertor costing 30 NZD, which is fitted onto the aerial connector behind ( i guess that for some radios that means taking the fascia off)

Couldn't get ours to work until we discovered they have the wrong orientation for the southern hemisphere.

Apparently you need to tip them upside down to get proper reception................... true.
