Hey Ben

Hmm.. strange, can you confirm if you receive TV3 and Prime? as well as TV One and Maori Television,

If you can't receive either of these channels then it looks like you will need to retune your receiver using its Menu. If you cannot successfully restore the channel then you may need to check to see if your satellite dish is aligned properly or possibly consider replacing the LNB (which is the little machine at the front of the dish)

Thanks for reply,,,,I found that all of these channels are missing NOW!...it is OK during the morning and disappear (no signal) at afternoon.

I tried to move the dish using the iPhone app (to align the dish to Optus D2 ) ..I thought it might help, but it didn't....

for your knowledge, I don't have satellite receiver..I use TV with freeview built in.

thanks

You should be pointing your dish at Optus D1, not Optus D2,

All Freeview Channels are available on D1 so it might be best to set your app to the correct satellite and realign again and then see if the channels resume.

I am looking at your information you have provided and I am a little confused Ben, Are you having issues with Freeview UHF or Freeview Satellite?

Regards
Joshua

Do you recommend iPhone or iPad app?

Are you having issues with Freeview UHF or Freeview Satellite?

I think it is Freeview UHF , but as I said before ..I use the satellite dish as UHF antenna

You cannot use a satellite dish as a UHF antenna. UHF antenna is for Terrestrial Freeview and points at a ground transmitter. A satellite dish points at a satellite and can't receive UHF signals.

I'm confused to. It sounds like you have connected your satellite dish to your Panasonic TV which doesn't have a satellite tuner. You need to connect a UHF antenna to the TV.
