I'm in Wainuiomata, Lower Hutt.

I don't have LOS to Fitzhertbert, its mildly blocked by a hill with a 
water tower on it.  Having said that all the skytv UHF antennas in my 
immediate neighborhood are pointing in that direction.
I have a old rusty UHF antenna with a masthead amp. 

I've  noticed that the multiplex for TV3 is higher in frequency than TVNZ.

The freeview coverage locator with my street says its "very likey" that 
I can receive it.

I think I might need at some point to splash out and buy a new and 
higher gain antenna.
