Question Will a UK Freeview / Digital Set Top Box Work?

I've done a few searches and can't find an answer to this one. Will my UK digi-box work in NZ? I'm looking at buying a new one that has a hard disk in it, I've checked out the prices in NZ and can only find standard freeview boxes which are really really expensive, over here the box I'm looking at will only cost £80, but I have no idea about the broadcasting hertz in NZ and UK or even if that's the right terminology. So don't know whether or not it's worth the effort of bringing it over, and as I plan on being in NZ soon it may not be worth me buying it if I can't take it with me.

Has anyone tried this or does anyone have the knowledge?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can shed light on this for me.

Oh by the way, I'm still waiting to exchange contracts on my house, my buyers mortgage offer has finally been issued and apparently the searches are taking place right this very minute, so fingers, arms and legs crossed hopefully in a week or so we might have them tied into buying this house and I can finally book some tickets to get the heck out of here.
