A concrete date isn't going to be set until 2012 but word at the present is that this will be mid 2014.
old3eyes: 2015.. Bet it will be closer to 2020 because some one will moan about Mr Jenkins of Tawa who can't afford a digital TV as her Philips K9 is still going and all the other Mr Jenkins around the country. Should be 2012 but in NZ we piss around and nothing happens..
Behodar: My parents have a 42" TV and excellent analogue coverage. Freeview satellite, on the other hand, looks overcompressed and significantly worse than VHF!

Depends if you like your analogue picture stretched across the 42" wide-screen TV. Or always centred in the middle of the screen for that matter.

It's a good point on the freeview HD coverage though, in that the picture quality does actually suffer coming from a good analogue source, even though granted there are more channels and it is proper widescreen. It comes with a lot of digital bitrate problems that just didn't exist on analogue TV, so now at times it's like watching TV via You Tube.

Can't they pull something like the US FCC did and just subsidize DTV convertor boxes for the six people in the country who don't have a digital-friendly TV yet?
Thats a job for WINZ as apparantly a TV is essential, and you can already get a grant for one.
