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?

<p>Hi Bevan, Ben and George,</p>
<p>This is an unfortunate situation where Kordia were forced to move the tower and given only 3 weeks’ notice by the building owner.</p>
<p>Normally a planned move would take many months of preparation and Kordia have done everything they can in short space of time to continue coverage with a temporary solution.</p>
<p>Despite everyone’s best efforts Kordia acknowledge that some viewers have been affected and consulting with an installer is still the best option…</p>

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 in charge of freeview now? This is a cluster f, that’s costing retired people money. They need to fix it ASAP, put it back the way it was. It’s usless as it stands.

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.

<p>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.</p>
<p>I receive good reception on the K1 mux on UHF channel 37 with Prime, Choice, Parliament TV, Firstlight, CTV8 and 3 Radio.</p>
<p>I receive the Discovery mux on UHF channel 33 with TV3, Bravo, TV3+1, Edge TV, Breeze TV but it's pixelated and unwatchable.</p>

<p>I receive the MTS mux on UHF channel 39 with Maori TV and Te Reo TV but it's pixelated and unwatchable.</p>
<p>I used to receive Al Jazeera which is on the K2 mux, possibly UHF channel 29 but can't receive that at all now.</p>
<p>Only UHF channels 35 and 37 are watchable but at least they include most of the programs I watch.</p>
<p>That's my progress so far. I'll keep at it when I have the time.</p>
