Those do not seem to be the correct channel numbers.  See here for a
table of the channel numbers for all the TV transmitters:

If you are receiving from Sugarloaf, then you should be getting things
on the same frequencies that I do from Wharite.  Those are the main
frequencies used for the major transmitting sites around NZ except for
Auckland.  The infill sites use the other frequencies.  So you should
be seeing channels 28, 32, 34, 36 and 38.  Channel 38 is in the Maori
spectrum allocation.
