A Google search reveals plenty of pages saying that TVNZ are going
widescreen on Freeview in the next few months. The latest date appears to be
Sept 22. E.g. from http://www.throng.co.nz/tvnz/tvnz-widescreen-delayed

"TVNZ has decided to delay the start date for the broadcast of widescreen on
its digital channels.
The confirmed date is Saturday 22 September at midday."
