It also says their channel will only work on terrestrial receivers, so anyone who cant get UHF coverage because of hills etc is still loosing out.

This from freetv.co.nz

Are there any downsides to MHEG-5? Just two small downsides. The first is that with a satellite receiver with Mheg-5 you can only ever receive Freeview channels, you can not use this receiver on other free channels broadcast to New Zealand. Secondly the software costs the manufacturer of your receiver and so the cost of a MHEG-5 receiver is considerably higher than a non-MHEG-5 receiver.

So I take that to mean you will be able to receive Sommet TV (if your sattellite receiver has MHEG-5, but not TV1, TV3 etc.

Right? Wrong?

I think your right, but only if the trapezoid equalizer is balanced with nucleas temprometer aye, and then you might be able to adjust the flux-deconvuvulator and at the same time press the two red buttons on the right that say " do not press" to recive a morphius coded rezputzle signal that could then be decoded by the leederhaussen module ?
If that doesnt work then a more reliable way to watch it for free is to go round to a mates place and watch if there. :-0

He's writing a book and went across to reunite with Hartog 2 yrs ago. The X6 Hustler was another Resto he did. I believe that's Hartog today with his son in the other shot?
ps his book is going to be better reading than mine I'm sure.

With a UHF receiver, all the channels will show up. With a dish, only those broadcast by satellite can be viewed. Is my understanding.

I've lived and worked in the USA, you don't want to dig too far down that line of questioning.....

But, yes, comparatively so. Sort of the growing up scenario, still finding our feet in a world of rapid changes.

I for one don't know why so many people are so exorcised about it all. I think people spend too much time sitting on their arses watching TV as it is.
Why are they not out in the garage working on their bikes.....???? (like me until midnight every night god sends).
There are plenty of racebikes and roadbikes for that matter that could do with a few hours work and some elbow grease.
