Hamilton Central Freeview Channels
I did a scan for Freeview TV channels from the central tower in Hamilton and received 23 channels. In January 2023 without altering the UHF aerial I rescanned and received the full 28 channels. However, those 5 channels, which includes Al Jazeera, Hope and 3 other channels,disappeared in February or March 2023 without any alteration to the UHF aerial. What's the status of those channels at present? Have they completed making alterations to the transmission there yet?See More
"Thank you for the information. i already have a YAGI-type UHF Aerial. I will wait 2 weeks before ordering a bigger Yagi aerial.
thanks @hannah "
"Hi si o,
Just to let you know Kordia have advised that they're working to increase the antenna height to improve the signal the week of 13 June (still subject to delivery timings that are shifting weekly).
We'll update the…"
"Im having the same issue, my signal is high but the picture is unwatchable. does any one have a good recommendation on what antenna to get? my ones about 5km away from hamilton central tower an we run 3 TVs in the house. "
"Ben, we got an installer out and he turned the antenna to point to Te Aroha. As a consequence we needed a booster installed. $220 exercise. You could try yourself I guess?"
"So how do I fox this? And no I am not paying an installer for your mistake."
"Hi Bevan, Ben and George,
This is an unfortunate situation where Kordia were forced to move the tower and given only 3 weeks’ notice by the building owner.
Normally a planned move would take many months of preparation and Kordia have done…"
"Same here. I had no reception problems before Kordia recently altered the Hamilton Tower transmitters. "
"I have been pointing to the tower building in tower for over 10years. Its pretty frustrating that I need to change something when it’s obvious Kordia have screwed something up. I’ve tried contacting Kordia directly, no reply. Who’s…"
"Pretty annoyed to hear this is an antenna height issue at the tower after I was told to call a technician and have spent $220 for no reason."
"You should be able to get excellent reception on UHF channel 35. It's the TVNZ mux with TV1, TV2, TV1+1, TV2+1 & Duke TV. I receive it anywhere on a 60 degree arc pointing to the Hamilton Tower.
I receive good reception on the K1 mux on UHF…"
"Please priorities this. I use to get over 90% signal strength and quality from Hamilton’s tower. We switched because we were getting less than 30% from Te Aroha. Now I am getting 0 - 15% signal quality and it’s unwatchable.
UHF ch 29 -…"
"Hey George, really appreciate all the clear details you've provided - thank you! We checked this with Kordia for you and they are working to increase the antenna height to improve the signal, but don’t have a timeframe for this…"
