Have you heard of Freeview?
A digital TV service, similar to SKY, but with no monthly costs?
Going digital
Freeview is backed by a consortium of TVNZ, CanWest MediaWorks, Maori Television and Radio New Zealand. It will initially include TV One, TV2, TV3, C4, Maori TV and Radio
NZ National and Concert.
It will be switched on next week, on Wednesday, and new channels are expected to be added later this year, including a 24-hour
NZ news channel.
It will have an electronic, on- screen programme guide.
Users buy a set-top box for about $300, but there will be no monthly subscription like Sky's.
