dbpprop:abstract
  • Freeview is a non-profit organisation providing free-to-air digital television and digital radio to New Zealand. The Freeview service is available via satellite throughout New Zealand. Freeview's terrestrial service, Freeview|HD, is a high definition digital terrestrial television service available to 75 percent of the country's population. Freeview uses the DVB-S and DVB-T standards on government provided spectrum. Analogue switchoff in New Zealand is planned for when 75 percent of households have access to digital television, or 2012, whichever is sooner. A tentative date will be set when digital uptake reaches 60% (55% reached as of November 2008). A major benefit of digital television is the ability to overcome the poor reception caused by New Zealand's rugged topography. It was estimated that on 15 April 2009, 226,141 Freeview certified set-top boxes and IDTVs had been sold since the platform's launch (155,482 Freeview, 70,659 Freeview|HD). It is estimated that Freeview is in 14.1% of New Zealand homes. This makes it New Zealand's third largest television platform, and New Zealand's second largest digital platform. Freeview-certified set-top boxes and PVRs are available at most major New Zealand retailers. Cheaper, uncertified equipment can also be used.
