Will Aussie Receivers Work In New Zealand

In a year I am returning to NZ after living in Australia for 30 years. At present I have an eight year old system that I wish to upgrade. New TV and a twin tuner PVR, maybe a Top Field or MagicTV or a Samsung BD-E8900A PVR/Blu-Ray player. At present I have the following set-up. PVR = Sony SVR-HD700 (HD digital) [no FreeView, only station EPG] TV = Sony KVHR32M31 76cm wide screen (I will definitely be replacing this) AV Reciever = Sony STR-DB790 DVD = Sony DVP-NS52P (multi zone) I am mainly referring to the broadcast standards used in each country. I have heard about FreeView using MHEG-5 IC in both countries for the EPG and MPEG-2 for SD and MPEG-4 for HD. All a bit confusing. But more to the point I have heard that my Sony PVR will not work in NZ due to the differences in the audio broadcast standards and something about Aussie 7 MHz and Kiwi 8 MHz, again all a bit confusing.I would like very much to still be able to use my Sony AV Receiver, it is of very good quality and suits all my needs.Cheers
