You're talking about a FM transmitter though.. not a TV transmitter.. Two different things.

Yes, you have to pay for licences with APRA and PPNZ to legally broadcast music works.

 I think that you can play around with Amateur TV broadcasting as part of NZART

You can, as long as you don't broadcast any copyright material.
