Why does Freeview exist?

To help ensure that all New Zealanders get a quality free-to-air TV and radio experience, free forever. Therefore, we provide a range of platforms to ensure everyone in NZ can get Freeview, be it by an UHF aerial Satellite dish or using the internet. 

We don’t make, sell, or install any TV or AV equipment, we do work with the manufacturers, retailers and installers who do.

Our collab across the industry include testing and certifying TV and set-top boxes before they hit the stores. 

We also like to collaborate with the leading manufacturers of TVs, recorders, and Set Top Boxes to test and certify the devices they make to ensure they work with NZ’s broadcasting specifications.

We also make sure finding information on what Freeview experience you want is easy, as well as pointing you in the right direction for technical issues.
