Freeview box?
 

Hi all can anyone help?
Are tv arrived from the uk (finally) it has free view built in but I have been told that it won't work, I tuned 6 channels analog and have good reception on them.
What channels do you get with a nz free view box? And do I need to boost my Ariel?
Basically is it worth purchasing one? There a few going cheap on trademe...??
:confused:

Hi, We got a freeview box off TradeMe for $75 which we thought was pretty cheap as they can be about $200 in the shops I think. Although have to admit, it's pretty shocking. Compared to UK freeview for £20 & you get loads of channels, its probably 12 here. I find we're only watching the normal channels 1-4, occasionally Prime but mostly KidZone on 6 - which is why we bought it, so got our money's worth just for daughter to watch that! No idea about aerial though sorry.

Ahh it's just the freaking money thou!
Does it have living? If you tell me I can watch Americas next top model, I'm sold!

It does and you can ;)

The only advantage of Freeview is that you can get HD for free. With Sky even the basic HD channels (i.e. films on One) require an MySky HDI box ($15 per month) plus an HD access fee of $10 per month)
