    Hey there, funny question: my folks have moved to Levin and they can’t get Māori TV to work on Freeview on their new TV. It just goes from channel 4 to channel 6 and no channel 15. My bro reckons you can’t get Māori TV everywhere due to reception issues. Is this true? Surely not?

    @Fi_Me1 I'm a cheapskate, I pay the cheapest Netflix. But that is good for Sky. Couldn't do that here - would confuse the OH - he still hasn't worked out how to watch Prime or Netflix, so he's still watching the dull repeat awful movies on Freeview!

    @linB2198 @TerryTsmith2000 @GBNEWS Sound out of synch on that clip isn’t it? Worse watching on freeview. Why haven’t they solved the sound issues after all this time?

  • Geordie_Guy Shaun (@Geordie_Guy) reported

    @Ne3Steve @GBNEWS Interesting. Next time I notice sound sync issues I'll check Freeview & see if it's the same.

    Do you know that out of 30 odd television channels on New Zealand's freeview. That there is only 4 - 5 mainstream channels. Out of these most popular channels. Most of the content is reality TV crap. I would love to see an old black and white 30s musical movie.

    I hope to have an outside aerial on Monday. Then I can see if my tv picks up a signal, and auto-tune it to get all of the channels on freeview. I've had a 4 year break, now I'm going back to it again. I need to rest at least one day of the week.
