Hi Keith
It seems as though you will need to manually switch your LNB setting so you can get the group of channels back,
Please follow the instructions:
- On your remote press Menu
- Head to Installation Menu
- Head to Satellite Setup
- Make sure Optus D1 is selected
- For LNB No make sure that the Low Freq is either 10750 or 11300 There will be numbers just use the right or left keys to toggle see if this brings up the signal bars which are located at the bottom of the screen (Quality & Strength)
Once you found the Freq with the bars now showing some percentage. Press the OK button to scan. - If you get TV One and other channels working, we need to work on getting Prime back. Please continue the instructions below:
- Press the Menu Button to bring up the Main Menu
- Select Installation and press OK
- Select Transponder Setup and press OK
- Select Add Transponder and press OK
- Enter 12519 for the Frequency
- Select Symbol Rate and enter 22500
- Check that Polarity is set to Horizontal
- Check that Network Search is set to Off
- Press OK to start the Scan process
- Return to Live TV and check to see if you can get channels 9, 10 (Prime) and 11
I hope this helps
Regards, Joshua

Thanks Joshua
Unfortunately I can't see anything on the TV so can't follow you instructions.
The problem is after factory resetting I lost any display on the TV.

Hi Keith
How have you got the S7070r connected to your TV ?
Are you using the composite Red / Yellow / White cables or is it connected using a black RF cable?

Thanks for responding Paul. I've got the black RF Cable.

If you can't see anything on the TV at all then more info is needed.
What Brand and model TV?
How is the Sat box connected (any or all connections).
What input selected on TV?
I wasn't aware the 7070 had a built in modulator. If it hasn't (manual doesn't indicate there is one inbuilt) then you can't possible receive anything on the TV using an rf cable connection. If it has then what channel are you tuning to?
Nothing at all on TV indicates incorrect connections Box - TV, incorrect tuning on the TV in the case of an rf modulator, incorrect input selected on TV, or the box is now dead.

Thanks for the response Biggles.
I have six 7070r each tunes to a particular channel then feed throughout the house to 6 TVs (I did this so that all the TVs can have both Sky and Free to air preset on channels without the need for remote controls in each room).
The other 7070 are all working fine but after I did the factory reset on the 7070 set to Prime , the signal to the TVs was lost , preventing me from seeing the menu or making any further changes. I suspect the factory reset might have changed the broadcasting channel to the output splitters? The following photos show the front and rear of the 7070r

The factory reset defaults the RF channel to 22
Menu / Installation / System Settings / RF Mode / Right arrow / Down arrow / Yellow button to decrease number / Blue increase number
You have 2 options to fix this.
Attach the receiver that you are using for Prime to another TV via a Composite / Hdmi cable and change it back to RF Channel 40
Option 2
You could do it Completely Blind
Turn on that unit first then
- Press Menu
- Down arrow once
- Press Ok
- Down arrow once
- Press Ok
- Down arrow 3 times
- Right arrow once
- Down arrow down once
- Blue Key 18 times
- Press Ok
- Menu Key once
- Up arrow once
- Press Ok key

Wow, that's a comprehensive setup so you obviously know what you are doing. I see from Paul's reply that the Boxes do have inbuilt tuners and your factory reset obviously reset the rf to default channel. Would be handy if the Manuals said so. Hopefully you will be able to restore it now to the channel it was previously using.
Just a stupid question but your Profile says you are in Auckland so why using Sat boxes. Are you in a UHF dead area? UHF would give you HD picture quality.

Your third option is to retune all 6 TVs to RF Channel 22.
I am assuming this is what your trying to avoid.
