Freeview's satellite TV service will be moving to a replacement satellite in early April.

As the current satellite is due to retire in May, this move is crucial to ensure we can continue to provide New Zealanders with access to free Live TV via satellite.

This would have no impact if you tune in through a UHF aerial, or use our Freeview Streaming TV app. And for most people who are tuned in through satellite, the change would be seamless. However, any older satellite boxes still in use would need to be replaced before April, or they will lose access to all channels when the satellite transition takes place.
