TV Free to View Digital Terrestrial TV Channels Digital
TV channel 26 Observatory hill Nelson and channel 27 Takaka hill are both operating
10 digital channels ( 8 TV & 2 Radio) but they will not be fully operational
for a few weeks. Some
viewers may already be able to see our test signals. We expect to complete our
new channel line up in a few more weeks with our target being the end of March
2012 Testing
and setting up our new system will take a few weeks. You may need to perform an
auto tune at times as we set up the channels. Mainland
TV digital is broadcasting to a population of approx 110,000 across Nelson, Tasman,
Golden Bay and parts of Marlborough. It
will be a few weeks before Channel 27 on the Takaka hill is fully operational.
Channel 26 Observatory hill is now testing on full power with 10 channels. Analogue
TV Channels 33 (M5) & 27 (Beacon 27) have now closed & moved on to our
digital platform. Technical
notes & tips Mainland
Television Ltd's new free view digital Terrestrial TV service from Observatory
hill Nelson and the Takaka hill behind Motueka is on air testing. With Mainland
TV, Freeview # & TVNZ / SKY (Igloo service) there could
be over 30 UHF digital terrestrial TV channels in the region. Those
with Freeview Terrestrial should have no problem recieving Mainland's digital
TV channels that will consist of our current selection plus more. Select
Digital Autotune on your TV sets and both Freeview and Mainland channels should
appear. You
may have to use the autotune a number of times as we upgrade and install our system.
Anyone who is having reception problems will need to contact an antenna
installation company. Mainland
TV is on air testing on Ch26 Horizontal polarity from Observatory hill Nelson
and Ch27 Vertical polarity from our new Takaka Hill site behind Motueka. Those
who were recieving Mainland TV, Beacon 27 and Shine TV should have no problem
recieving these new digital TV channels on Mainland TV's new digital TV platform. The
new Mainland TV digital TV channels will include all our current TV channels that
you can watch now along with 11 Freeview TV channels and over 10 SKY / TVNZ Igloo
TV channels starting about mid 2012. If
you recieve Mainland TV now all you need is a digital TV or a terrestrial digital
TV set top box or a terrestrial digital recorder. If
you are not tuned to Mainland TV you will need a UHF TV antenna mounted vertical
polarity pointing half way between Mt Campbell & the Takaka Hill highway summit
( behind Motueka ) and you should receive all the digital TV channels & new
digital TV channels providing your property has a line of site view to the hills
behind Motueka. If you can not get a signal from the west you can try tuning into
Observatory hill Nelson. Those
with SKY or Satellite can still watch Mainland & Freeview digital terrestrial
with a UHF antenna thats a one off cost for approx $50. See
the digital TV Coverage Map Once
you tune into the digital TV channels using a UHF antenna you can switch between
digital and analogue on your TV as you wish. Mainland TV analogue channels will
be shut down in March 2013 Your
local TV antenna installer should be able to help if you have any problems.

TV & Video on 548 0304 Mainland
TV was launched in 1992 and has operated fully digital software and hardware since
1998. All Mainland's UHF TV channels are digital all the way to the analogue transmitters
that will remain on air until March 2013. ( some may be closed earlier to facilitate
the digital services before this date ie ch33 -BAYS & Beacons 27). We have
been ready for digital TV for some time but the Govt delayed and frustrated our
efforts. You
can have FTA and SKY TV, digital at the same time without loosing either. Remeber
Terrestrial Freeview digital has high definition and its free. Don't
lose Mainland TV or any other of your current TV channels when digital is installed.
Insist the installers keep your current choice and show you how to select both
digital and analogue TV channels before they leave your property. The
Govt told Nelson viewers in 2008 that Nelson would not get a Terrestrial Digital
TV service so many people bought satellite dishes. In 2010 the Govt changed its
mind causing further confusion. Mainland
Television would like to thank NZ on Air for their help.
Mainland
TV has renewed two of its analogue TV frequencies so it can continue broadcasting
as normal until March 2013. STAFF
