Cool.
Ok - not much information value, but I'm impressed :-)
Nice, neat & tidy installation.
I got it from www.freeviewshop.co.nz, quite a nice guy and lots of advice, I initially was going for a Topfield, although most of his were sold out about a week ago, he then told me about the Kaon and I got that. Was $450 a bit more than I initially wanted to spend but is dual tuner and he gave me good discounts on some cable and water proof connectors etc..

I set up a Sony TiVo with a Strong satellite STB on FreeView. I used post code 02110 and it works well.
The only issue was when selecting the IR code set to use. The third and fourth code set locked up the TiVo when selected, and required a reboot. Luckily I found that I could skip over the 3rd and 4th set without trying them, and the fifth IR code set worked with my STB.
I also need to change it to 4 digit codes, so that I don't have to wait so long before changing channel again.
BTW the Strong STB I have is fairly basic, but is only $140.
Will these be official Tivos, with full Tivo corporate support and guide data? For NZ?
It hasn't been clarified exactly what services will be available for New Zealanders.
The announcement about the new units is titled Australia & New Zealand, but only mentions Australia in the details leaving out New Zealand entirely.
Worse comes to worse, I assume you would be able to pickup a UK unit or modify an Australian one.
