Which channels will have HD programmes?

TVNZ 1, TVNZ 2 and Three each screen selected programmes in high definition, with the balance of their schedules up-converted from standard definition television.  

Look for the HD icon in the Freeview Guide.

Tip! HD broadcasts are transmitted via UHF only. So to get these HD broadcasts, you will need to use a UHF aerial and have UHF coverage (check your coverage here).
