Upgrade options for older satellite box

Upgrade options for older satellite box

The simplest upgrade is to get a new satellite box, such as one of the following:

  • Dish TV Sat1 box - for your standard Live TV
  • SmartVU+ A7080 box - Live TV plus apps like TVNZ+, ThreeNow, Māori+ etc.
  • Dish TV S7070PVR or Panasonic DMR-HST270 - to record Live TV.

Pick up your new box from a trusted electronics store. 

Maybe you'd prefer to do away with the box altogether and plug directly into a new TV. Just make sure it's a dual-tuner TV.

Ready to just use apps? If you have good internet access, you can stream Live TV using the Freeview Streaming TV app - it's free and available to download on Smart TVs. And if your TV isn't smart, you can "make it smart" by adding a SmartVU dongle.
