Talk:List of free-to-air channels in New Zealand

Availability fields
These fields in order to keep the table compact and simple should only indicate the primary free-to-air source availability for either terrestrial, satellite or cable delivery. They should NOT indicate the form used be it analog or digital. Also if a delivery method requires a subscription then the field needs to be mark as partial.
 * Analogue terrestrial and digital terrestrial are two completely broadcasting means which are not compatible with each other. Plus, they are only going to be there until December 2013. It's not a big deal.
 * Terrestrial means terrestrially transmitted, the modulation be it QAM or PAL or NTSC or VSB makes a difference to the tuner not the method. It's a big deal in that it about free-to-air availability, not equipment compatibility.  If you add ASO details use a ASO article, don't waste a field in this listing.Helmboy (talk) 06:00, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
 * The column clearly says "Pay TV", so it is implied that you can only receive it if you have a pay TV subscription. Otherwise it is free-to-air television.
 * The "Pay TV" column means a separate Pay TV operated FTA source from the primary FTA source. If the channel is encrypted and it's FTA by other methods then should be marked as partial or no.  ie, TV 1,2 and 3 HD on pay tv satellite are the main examples.Helmboy (talk) 06:00, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
