The satellite transmissions utilise <a href="/wiki/H.262" class="mw-redirect" title="H.262">H.262</a> video. Freeview cannot easily move to <a href="/wiki/H.264" class="mw-redirect" title="H.264">H.264</a> video broadcasting in the future as the encoding is unsupported by a large number of the receivers in the Freeview Satellite install base, also the additional patent licensing tax would make the satellite service even more expensive for channel operators. Unlike the terrestrial service, the satellite service broadcasts a more useful traditional DVB EPG alongside the functionally limited MHEG-5 EPG. </p><p>Freeview had discussed with <a href="/wiki/Telecom_New_Zealand" class="mw-redirect" title="Telecom New Zealand">Telecom</a> about the provision of <a href="/wiki/IPTV" class="mw-redirect" title="IPTV">IPTV</a> over <a href="/wiki/Asymmetric_Digital_Subscriber_Line" class="mw-redirect" title="Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line">ADSL</a> until it was shelved due to bandwidth and availability limitations.<sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Certification">Certification</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Freeview_(New_Zealand)&action=edit&section=17" title="Edit section: Certification"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Freeview certifies <a href="/wiki/Set-top_box" title="Set-top box">set-top boxes</a> but does not sell them; they are marketed by electronics retailers.<sup id="cite_ref-video_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-video-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Freeview certification centres the localisation of multimedia data, primarily for the electronic programming guide (EPG). This data is broadcast over DVB using the <a href="/wiki/MHEG-5" title="MHEG-5">MHEG-5</a> standard. At the moment this is only used to transmit <a href="/wiki/Electronic_program_guide" title="Electronic program guide">EPG</a> data. </p><p>Freeview Record certification of <a href="/wiki/Digital_video_recorder" title="Digital video recorder">digital video recorders</a> is similar to Freeview certification, but also includes dual tuner with smart conflict resolution including alternate recordings of repeat programmes and one touch series recording from the EPG. Full fast forward and rewind cuing is available while an automatic ad skip function is not allowed. For copyrighted HD content, only devices that comply with studio DTCP are allowed to externally transfer content while all SD content is transferable. There are no time limits on content playback. As of May 2012, there are currently two certified MyFreeview Satellite receivers available, which are from the New Zealand-based Dish TV company. </p><p>MHEG-5 is used exclusively for a full 8-day terrestrial broadcast schedule as Freeview do not fully populate the DVB EIT EPG, this means there are few uncertified terrestrial receivers on the market able to run the MHEG-5 Freeview EPG application. An uncertified terrestrial DVR would have to know the specific files to extract from the DSM-CC stream to support a full EPG. </p><p>Freeview certification requires <a href="/wiki/Set-top_box" title="Set-top box">set-top boxes</a> to disallow high definition video output over connections that do not support <a href="/wiki/HDCP" class="mw-redirect" title="HDCP">HDCP</a>. In practice this means nearly all HD <a href="/wiki/Cathode_ray_tube" class="mw-redirect" title="Cathode ray tube">CRT</a> televisions sold in New Zealand and many early flat screen televisions can only receive high definition from an uncertified set-top box, which can output high definition over HDCP-free connections like <a href="/wiki/Component_cable" class="mw-redirect" title="Component cable">component cables</a> or on HDMI without HDCP. </p><p>Digital TV Labs is an officially approved test centre for Freeview New Zealand conformance testing, where manufacturers wishing to deploy devices with the associated Freeview New Zealand logos and access to the Freeview EPG can obtain pass reports. </p><p>There are also many non-certified options are available. These and other FTA receivers have no limit on advert skipping nor restrict access to the recorded files or prevent streaming of recordings to other devices, Ultraplus X-9200HD PVR, Vu+ Duo, Xcruiser XDSR385HD PVR are all examples of units that are or have been sold in NZ and have all of this capability. They can also receive any other available non-freeview channel. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Terrestrial_transmitters">Terrestrial transmitters</h3><span
