Well I haven't had a tv for a few years so I'm not sure what channels there are now. These are the channels I currently have: tv1, tv1+1, tv2, tv2+1, four+1, prime, the edge tv, and maori tv

The Freeview website has the up to date channel lists on Freeview Satellite here http://www.freeviewnz.tv/tv-guide/freeview-channels.aspx

Just select "Freeview Satellite" from the options.

Cheers

I think Joshua was trying to elucidate what other channels you are missing hence the link to Freeview site. You did say you didn't know what channels there are now. The link tells you what's available on Satellite when you choose the Satellite option. You can then see what's missing on your tuner. It could be helpful to diagnose your problem if we know what channels you are missing.

Rescan on Dish TV Satbox S7070r

The following instructions are supplied by the manufacturer and extracted from the Dish TV website.

With some channels being transmitted on a Sky transponder, the S7070r may need a rescan to locate the transmission.

The steps to do this are as follows:

Press the Menu button to bring up the main menu
Select Installation and press OK
Select Tuning Wizard and press OK
Enter the PIN code for the unit (the default is 0000)
Select Blind Scan and press OK
Press OK to start the Scan process
Select "NO" for network scan and press OK

The receiver will then scan through and locate the transmission. This process will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete.

Once the scan process is completed press Exit to return.

In that case it may be a LNB (failing) or dish alignment issue. What signal strength are you getting on the channels you can receive?
