<p>Hi Brent</p>
<p>It should cover FreeviewPlus as the info was added with HbbTV. Although the UK, Australia and New Zealand Freeview have the same name and same scope, each operates differently and separately. The UK system uses different technology to encode content which most of the receivers will not work with NZ specifications, Australia however work on similar specs and receivers can be brought over between countries and work, the Freq range is different but can be manually tuned…</p>

Thanks Josh. Does this cover Freewiew Plus as well?<br />
<br />
I'm curious to know, given that the brand "Freeview" and "Freeview Plus" is used in NZ, Australia and the U.K., are all the systems identical?

<p>certified probably means things like channels in a specific order and no delete or move in the channel edit menu</p>

<p>did you immigrate with it?</p>

Josh, I'm not quite sure what you mean by your second bullet point. Can you please clarify that a bit.<br />
Are you saying that Freeview plus is not open to use by any manufacturer unless you have certified them? If so, does that mean you lock it somehow? I don't understand what the copyright has to do with it as all the channels available on Freeview Plus are Free to Air channels, which anyone in the country can receive with a standard television and aerial.<br />

I'm trying to find out where the breakdown is between my TV set and Freeview plus. I certainly get the Freeview plus pop up on my television.<br />

<li>FreeviewPlus is not open source and because the content contains content which is copyrighted from the broadcasters and studio outputs, the HbbTV product needs to be certified from Freeview in order for the manufacturer to be able to use it. Freeview is very open to new manufacturers but at the end of the day it is up to the manufacturers to talk to Freeview, not vice versa.</li>
<li>FreeviewPlus is the only HbbTV application transmitting on the network. If there were others then any TV are free to decode and display. </li>
<li>The Freeview certification guarantees using the FreeviewPlus logo, feature on the website and comprehensive support from both the manufacturer and from me (Freeview Forum Online)</li>

<p>Hello again,</p>
<p>Given that HbbTV is an open standard, can you please confirm to me that Freeview NZ have not in any way altered or deviated from that standard ?</p>
<p>Also, because it is a standard, any device that complies with the HbbTV 1.5 standard, should be able to receive Freeview Plus. That is, unless, you have locked it down so that only "certified" models can receive Freeview Plus. You wouldn't do something like that would you? </p>
<p>Regards,</p>

<p>Hi Brent, I have spoken to Freeview their response below:</p>
