New Zealand has been slowly trying to catch up to the rest of the world in terms of our digital TV infrastructure. As part of the move towards our Freeview digital platform we are currently undergoing a series of DVD-T test transmissions around the main city centres.
While I was away in Australia I managed to get hold of a DVB-T receiver (ASUS MyCinema-U3000 Mini) that I was hoping to configure and test back in Auckland. Unfortunately the process wasn’t simple, most ‘out of the box’ software products fail to acknowledge the presence of a DVB-T transmissions over here and don’t include the required configuration parameters.
I spent ages trying to get everything working and finally came across this blog post on Geekzone.
Although the post claimed that older versions of DVBViewer would have issues with sound, I managed to decode the AC3 audio streams for TV1 and TV2 without any problems. However the audio for TV3, TV6, TV7, Maori and Parliament TV did not work.
