When we're on the new satellite, most viewers on mainland New Zealand will experience superior signal and better TV reception automatically, no need to do a thing!

However, it being a different satellite, the signal we're getting will be different.

If you're in the far north (including Bay of Islands), top of East Cape and bottom of Southland and experience poor satellite TV reception on rainy days or in the afternoons/evening, you may need a larger satellite dish (75cm or larger). Contact your local TV installer to check if you do. Or if you have good internet access you can use the Freeview Streaming TV app to watch TV - it's free and available on most Smart TVs.

If you're elsewhere in New Zealand and your satellite TV reception is glitching, your dish setup may not be in good working order and it's best to reach out to your local installer to check and fix your satellite dish setup.
