Getting Freeview in New Zealand
Freeview is accessible to everyone in New Zealand, and you have options to tailor your Freeview experience to your preferences.
Choosing the Right Product: The product you need depends on your preferences:
- You can select from Live TV, Streaming TV, and Record options, or a combination of these, depending on the product you choose.
- You'll also need to consider your TV antenna: either a UHF aerial or a satellite dish, depending on your location and coverage. Unless you are only Streaming, then you will only need the internet and a compatible device.
Product Compatibility: Most products available in stores are compatible with either a UHF aerial or a satellite dish. There are also dual tuner TVs for flexibility in case you're unsure about your antenna type. Use this link to find approved products.
Installing a TV Antenna: If you don't already have a TV antenna, you can get one installed. Use the installer directory to obtain a quote from installers in your area.
Product Setup: After selecting your product, follow the setup instructions provided in the manual or setup guide that comes with your TV, set-top box, or recorder.
Getting Help: If you need assistance with setup, you can:
- Contact an installer in your area for professional assistance (note that installers charge for their services).
- Contact the manufacturer of your device.
Getting Freeview is accessible and customizable, ensuring you can enjoy your favorite TV content for free.
