Hi!

Given the proximity of the Waiatarua transmitter I would have thought the chances of receiving Freeview|HD were quite good. The Freeview coverage check says that Freeview|HD reception is Likely with a high aerial.

Thanks for the link, I did not know about that feature.
What do you think they mean by "high aerial"? How high?
