Television Hawke's Bay broadcasts to the region on UHF channel 51.  This signal can be found at 711.25 MHz.

The signal is transmitted from Mount Threave, near Paki Paki south of Hastings. It reaches north as far as Mahia and south to Waipawa and Waipukurau with the assistance of a signal booster. 

Reception will be affected in areas situated in valleys or shadowed by physical features such as hills and tall buildings. These areas include Napier Hill, Ahuriri, parts of Taradale and parts of Havelock North. A UHF aerial will assist in providing you with a clear picture.

Consult the operating manual for your TV set or video recorder for tuning instructions specific to your model. This will tell you how to find and store new channels.
