<p>Freeview signal problems traced to Kaka Hill transmitter</p>
<p>From <a href="http://www.stuff.co.nz/nelson-mail/news/87068973/freeview-signal-problems-traced-to-kaka-hill-transmitter">http://www.stuff.co.nz/nelson-mail/news/87068973/freeview-signal-problems-traced-to-kaka-hill-transmitter</a></p>
<p>Freeview aerial service is back to normal after customers reported signal issues.</p>
<p>A replacement television transmitter for Nelson is on its way after signal problems were detected with the city's Kaka Hill tower.</p>
<p>Darren Richards of Nelson TV & Video Services said his company had fielded calls at the start of the week regarding the Freeview aerial service as some channels where " breaking up", due to poor signal quality.</p>
<p>He in turn had contacted Johnston, Dick and Associates (JDA), who operate the Freeview terrestrial platform for the Nelson region.</p>
<p>Subsequent tests by the company revealed an issue with the signal at the Nelson infill location, near the Centre of New Zealand.</p>
<p>"Our guy had a look at the transmissions in Nelson and found a slightly reduced quality signal coming from one of the transmitters on Kaka Hill," JDA's Warren Harding said.</p>
<p>Harding said a replacement transmitter was being sent to Nelson today and should be installed soon after.</p>
<p>Channels likely to be affected were Prime, Maori TV, Te Reo, Choice, The Shopping Channel and the Radio New Zealand Concert Program.</p>
<p>However, the issue would only affect some television as most of the region's television signal is sourced from Mt Campbell, west of Motueka.</p>
<p>Richards said another problem emerging in the last couple of weeks was the low noise booster on the front of satellite dishes starting to fail.</p>
<p>This also caused pixelation and breaking up of the picture on either Sky or the Freeview satellite service.</p>
<p><br/>The issue was a common one at this time of year due to the better weather and hotter days, he said.</p>
