Hi Nicola, 

Please follow the instructions below

On the DTVS remote control:

1. Press the MENU button

2. Select "Installation" and press the OK button

3. Select "Factory default" and press the OK button

4. Enter the password. The default password is "0000"

5. Select "Yes" and press OK on the question "Do you want to factory reset?"

6. Select your closest location (use the left or right arrow buttons to change the location). They press OK.

7. Select "Yes" and press OK on the question "Do you want to scan?"

8. The receiver will start tuning the channels and will save them automatically

Troubleshooting

1. Database Empty or Tuning Failed

This means your receiver failed to find a signal. This can happen if equipment on your satellite dish is not sending the signal as expected by the receiver. Try the following:

a) Try tuning the receiver using the following instructions:

Good Morning Nicola 

DIY installations may need further tweaking, in this case the LNB just needs to be skewed a little bit in order to receive the new Prime frequency, you can learn how to do this here: http://freeviewforum.co.nz/forum/topics/freeview-satellite-adjustin...
