Works fine. No need to select country as England as stated by mighty ape. Maybe this is a new batch and NZ was default country. Sometimes EPG show the whole days programs not just the next 2 hours.

No problems with setting up or tuning, works great, have no problems recommending to others, especially at price.
First off just wanna say that the device works great, and especially for the price it's fantastic, and also a tip for first time users:
If you haven't turned ‘LCN’ off before ‘auto-searching’ the channels, will cause the prefix of channels to start with “80” (basically if you look at the channel number on the display on the Freeview box, it will be “801” for example, instead of “01”), and the order of channels may not be in accordance with that listed on Freeview’s website.
So what you can do is go into the Menu by pressing the ‘Menu’ button on the remote and the first page you see will be ‘Program’, hit the down-arrow button on the remote until you have selected/highlighted ‘LCN’, hit the right or left-arrow button until “Off” is displayed, then click the ‘Exit’ button on the remote, next move 2 tabs to the right using the right-arrow on the remote, and you will come to the ‘Channel Search’ page, then simply click the down-arrow button until ‘Auto Search’ is selected/highlighted and hit the left or right-arrow button to rerun the search for channels, after it has finished if you still dislike the way the channels are ordered, you can go back to the ‘Program’ page by following the first step above, and then select the ‘Program edit’ option, click the left or right-arrow button on the remote and input the password which is just “00000” (the password can be changed by following the steps shown in the manual), then simply use the button functions shown on the bottom of the page, to organize the channels to your liking. Hope this helped some people, and I know it was long, but hopefully it was worth it. :)
