New Zealand VHF TV Channels

Channels 1 to 11 are in the VHF Band (Band I and III - 44 to 230 MHz).

Transmissions conform to 625 line CCIR System B on VHF and the vision carrier frequency is nominally 1.25 MHz above the lower frequency edge of the 7MHz wide channel. The Mono FM sound carrier's centre frequency is 5.4996 MHz above the vision carrier frequency, and the centre frequency of the NICAM digital sound carrier (if transmitted) is 5.850 MHz above the vision carrier frequency. The B/G variant of 728 NICAM is used which has a total occupied bandwidth of 510 kHz.

DVB-T transmissions are not present as the bandwidth available is only 7MHz.
However, the DVB-T frequencies are listed should DVB-T ever be used on VHF channels

New Zealand UHF TV Channels

Channels 25 to 62 are in the UHF Band (Band IV and V - 502 to 806 MHz).

Transmissions conform to 625 line CCIR System G on UHF and the vision carrier frequency is nominally 1.25 MHz above the lower frequency edge of the 8MHz wide channel. The Mono FM sound carrier's centre frequency is 5.4996 MHz above the vision carrier frequency, and the centre frequency of the NICAM digital sound carrier (if transmitted) is 5.850 MHz above the vision carrier frequency. The B/G variant of 728 NICAM is used which has a total occupied bandwidth of 510 kHz.
