Hi there

I've got an indoor UHF aerial connected up to my new EyeTV hybrid (with EyeTV 3.4). It's pretty cool.

However, when I auto-tune it, I can only get the TVNZ channels (TV ONE, TV2, TVNZ 6 and TVNZ 7).

Any idea how I get the other Freeview channels?

Cheers!

+1 what Richms said.

Also - try a manual tune.
Here are the frequencies for NZ:

Failure to tune 2 of 3 muxes suggests poor signal quality.
Where are you?

Moving your aerial may fix the problem. But it might be too small to get a good signal.
