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.

Move to New Zealand's best fibre broadband service (affiliate link). Note that to use Quic Broadband you must be comfortable with configuring your own router.

 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.
