. . There are two types

Freeview   Satellite DVB-S receiver

Freeview | HD   DVB-T  Terrestrial receiver  HDTV

  You can use this receiver anywhere in NZ where you can setup a Satellite dish with a clear view of the Nth Western sky. The receiver can connect to an unused SKY dish and receive the 12+ channels of Freeview service currently being broadcast. These receivers are cheaper than the DVB-T receivers. The vertical resolution output is 576 pixels.  Large LCD screens 37” - 50” can upscale the signals on these receivers very satisfactorily.   It is possible to tune in 8+ radio channels, with some of these, off the Sky frequencies. TV3+1 is a 1hr time shifted verson of TV3  Prime TV now on Freeview

You can use this receiver only in NZ’s main centres and in situations where one can currently get an analogue signal of the Maori and Prime TV channels. Cut off of this service probably around 2013. There are going to be many viewers in the cities who can’t get any reception and these people should use the DVB-S Satellite service.  There are less channels currently available on DVB-T service.  The vertical resolution on this service ranges from 576, 720, and 1080 on TV3  This is why its referred to as HD service.
