Pat Hughes: About 90% of people in NI will be able to get a "special multiplex" - BBC News - TG4 to be broadcast on freeview .
This will provide RT1, RT 2 and TG4 from three transmitters located in Northern Ireland: Black Mountain at 2kW, Brougher Mountain at 1kW, and Carnmoney Hill at 16kW.

Charles Stuart: I didn't say that the service wasn't any good, I just said that people are not using it yet.

David: Apologies, as the technical parameters for the NZ service are:
MPEG-4 part 10 (H.264, AVC) is used for the video codec and for audio three audio codecs are used:
MPEG-4 HA AAC (up to mono and stereo level 2 bitstream only)
MPEG-1 Layer II/Musicam, audio mode stereo. Sampling rate 32, 44.1 and 48kHz
Only a UK "Freeview HD" box would work, or one of the standard Freeview boxes that happen to have MPEG4, such as BT Vision. Which won't work as you don't have BT Broadband...
