If there are any tricks or process involved in getting the hdhr going
in NZ ....



No special tricks over using code with enough code to do the job!

Bear in mind I am only saying I have got a picture.  How stable and reliable and indeed how well configured my box is remains to be

Other than Steve's testing I don't think anyone else on this list has put their hand up as having one of these?  Seems I may be the 
only NZ person on this list currently testing this kit?
