In case anyone isn't signed up to the Telecom/TiVo New Zeland newsletter, you can get the HNP for free if you buy a TiVo before 24 January 2010 (once it launches Friday 6 Nov 2009).
You do realise that these forums are mainly dedicated to people using US Series 1 and UK TiVos in Oz and NZ? I've had a TiVo for 5 years. If you are in Christchurch I'd be more than willing to help...
Pete, our reference to the phone line is because Telstra cable is the only broadband internet option in New Zealand that does not require you to pay for a phone line also.
Even the so called 'naked...
Would you really use the video-on-demand or pay-per-view feature though? I doubt I will so I don't really care that the TiVo internet traffic won't be free on my TC Cable connection. (I also have no...
No, but I have requested this information from Telecom (via their website).
If you buy the official one. Tidier and cheaper to upgrade the internal drive (might void your warranty though).
I seem to recall people saying thay had purchased a TiVo from places including JB HiFi (and from Pete) for AU$600, which is only NZ$750 or less.
Before December 2010 though we would need to find...

This can't be right
-a telco exclusively selling TiVo?
-$899 price?
I know where I'll be getting mine..across...
In march you could only register your interest in TiVoHD, a sort of 'keep me informed' type thing. Now there is an extra button beside that registration page, which takes you to much more in-depth...
I you haven't already, you can now register to be a Beta tester here:

As you know Sky is shutting down its UHF service: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/technology/news/article.cfm?c_id=5&objectid=10583747&ref=rss
This little excerpt caught my attention:
"Sky plans to hand...
I see they finally got their domain from the squatter.

I guess we know how much they will cost then! If they are any cheaper in either country then thats where people will buy them (me included).
The TiVoHD has no AV inputs, so cannot be used with a Sky or any other box - it can record only terrestrial digital broadcasts received via the UHF antenna - ie "FreeviewHD" channels only. The Sky...
What's illegal?
We aren't stealing any service, and we aren't hacking hardware to circumvent copyright. I can't think of any other law vaguely applicable.
Of course that might not prevent the usual...

Don't forget to register your interest under the tab "I Want One" and tick the box regarding being a tester!
I note that tivo.co.nz still hasn't been released by Mr Wager
Possible technically, but unlikely to happen. Not sure how the encryption would work.
No Sky won't be packaged with TiVo - TiVoHD is only capable of receiving terrestrial broadcasts (FreeviewHD), and Sky is only broadcast via satellite.
Great news, thanks for the links. That would imply it is even more likely that we will get TiVoHD in New Zealand. I presume TVNZ has reasonably strong links to FreeviewNZ, esp with regard to...
