Good Afternoon Karen and Happy New Year!

It looks like you have aligned your satellite dish to one of the other Optus Satellites not Optus D1 which is why your satellite receiver is not receiving the correct Freeview broadcast,

to help you correct this, use helpful tools like Dish pointer: http://www.dishpointer.com/

and make sure you select your address and the Optus D1 satellite from the list provided. This will allow you to find the satellite correctly, make sure you are aware of how the measurements are take on the dish in order to successfully locate the satellite, we have provided some extra info on how to do this here: http://freeviewforum.co.nz/forum/topics/freeview-satellite-aligning...

Please let me know if this helps and if you are still receiving further issues let me know

Many Thanks
Josh

My thanks to you, Callan and Biggles.  Was tuning to Optus D2.  Swapped to D1, and did factory rest, and all my nightmares gone.  Thank you
