There is a lot of hype in the market place about receiving HD channels. Especially with the new branded LCDTV having Free to Air receiver built in.
These new sets receive HD via UHF.Ultra High frequency.Aireal not Dish.
If you live in Christchurch you have to be able to see Sugar loaf to receive HD.
The same applies in any city or area.
Now you are going to be very disappointed if you find that the sales person tells you that this is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Especially after you have paid for the set.
Say you live in Sumner.
You turn on the set and try and tune the set to HD.
No one home because you are not in view of Sugar loaf.
This built in Free to Air Tuners relies on UHF.The aerial must point to the transmitter.
You cannot connect these sets to your Sky Dish and get HD.
The only way to get HD in an outlying area that does not have line of site to the transmitter is by purchasing or renting My Sky that uses the Sky Dish.
If you're not worried about HD you should purchase a Stand alone Free to Air decoder that can connect to your excising Dish. You will get an excellent picture, and you will not have to worry about poor reception or on going rental charges.
If you have not brought a Free to Air Decoder yet, please read on.
The Arion 303G Decoder with Smart card is the way to go.
You're not only getting all the Free to Air channels, but you also have the opportunity to add more channels by using the Smart card that slots into the front of the decoder..
You can buy cards that slot into the smart card slot that unlocks the decoder to different countries. The cards allow you to watch the encrypted programs with the relevant subscription. This will unlock the satellite access. You than just simply retune the receiver and presto you have the world on your TV. Cards are now available for Vision Asia channels and Setanta Sports.Setanta is available for A$30 a card and about NZ$20 a month when billed to a NZ credit card.
You can now buy a card in Australia that gives even more channels. This will plug straight into the Decoder. The BBC World Service is also available. Contact us for the Legitimate OPTUS cards to go in these units for this service.
This means you can watch program’s from around the world including your local free to Air channels.
If you need both D1 & D2 you need make a few changes to the positioning of the Dish.
This is not difficult but you will need a technician as he will have to add some screw on electronics.
Remember to tell your friends about the smart card options.
The cheaper decoders do not give you this option...
