After the Reset

Once you have reset, you will have to follow through with the onscreen steps to get your STB back up and running again.

After the steps are complete and the satellite scan is complete you should be looking at TVNZ 1 please remain on this channel for about one minute and you will be prompt to scan more channels, or new channels found. Proceed with this scan to tune in the remainder of the channels from the new satellite.

If no prompt is seen, it may help to do a power cycle: turn your Box off at the wall, wait 10 seconds before turning it back on.

Then move through your entire channels list from TVNZ 1 to TVNZ 2, to Three..., all the way to the very last channel then back to TVNZ 1, as if you're channel surfing.

This can refresh the channels list on your box and help pick up any channels dropped accidentally. 

Still have no channels

Retune/reset won't help if you have an older satellite box that has lost all channels, check to see if it's time for an upgrade.
The new satellite should mean clearer, more reliable reception for most viewers. But if your satellite dish is not in good working order or you're in one of a few remote areas, you might notice issues. Learn more here.
