Freeview site has not updated but I assume it will soon. 

 

But my stab in the dark answer is yes, the only channels not on the satellite/streaming and UHF only are local channels (Channel 33 Waikato, Television Hawkes Bay, Wairarapa TV)

 

These are not available to stream or via Satellite as their intended audience is the local geographic area.

Which mux are they using??





Spark Max Fibre using Mikrotik CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+, CRS125-24G-1S, Unifi UAP, U6-Pro, UAP-AC-M-Pro, Apple TV 4K (2022), Apple TV 4K (2017), iPad Air 1st gen, iPad Air 4th gen, iPhone 13, SkyNZ3151 (the white box). If it doesn't move then it's data cabled.

That's really great, now I don't need to login into my account anymore to watch just 1 Race that I'm not even betting on, checked tv and they are there on channels 23 & 24 I'm in Auckland. Thanks for the info

Looks like it’s only in UHF metro areas (Kordia sites)

From Freeview page:
Available on the Freeview Streaming TV app, and via UHF in the following metro areas: Auckland, Waikato, Tauranga & Northern Bay of Plenty, Napier & Hastings, Palmerston North, Whanganui, Wellington, Canterbury and Dunedin.

Yeah as far as I can see, it's not on Optus D2 FTA. Nor is it available in Southland (from Forest Hill) via the JDA UHF service.
