As the subject suggests, I can't get this to work here.
Is it just not made for NZ? I can't choose NZ either as a country in the setup.

I just need a cheap set top box to connect a harddrive too, so I can record stuff now and again. What's my best bet? DishTV?

DVB-T in Australia is totally different to everywhere else in the world. Unless it can be adjusted to support 8MHz channels like those used outside Australia it won't work. Even if it does it's likely it won't have an EPG.

Bingo!

Set it to Norway and voila!

Got roughly 32 channels. Does that seem like the right amount to pick up on Freeview?

(I'm becoming a massive fan of Geekzone. Someone also assisted me reg. setting up Fibre internet here in NZ).
