Is there any word on what channels will be broadcast over it yet?

Subject: [mythtvnz] Freeview launch dates

I received the following advice from Freeview yesterday:

anticipated launch date and channels available for Freeview, as follows: 
    - Satellite - early May.  Definitive date available late April.
    - Terrestrial Wellington (Kaukau) - currently scheduled for end of Feb
'08
    - Terrestrial Auckland (Waiatarua) - same as Wellington

encoding formats (MPEG2 or MPEG4) for: 
    - Satellite - MPEG2 and Standard definition
    - Terrestrial - MPEG4 and High definition

Freeview's domain name is freeviewnz.tv. No website up, yet.
