No issue with audio sync on the TVNZ mux.

kiwirock:

 

But I would be curious as to what the numbers are for satellite viewers when marketing to regional advertisers. It must be enough to warrant regional feeds being on satellite in the first place, or they wouldn't be doing it.

 

 

I'm not sure that it matters to TVNZ how many viewers are watching regions on DTH. Those same regions are there on DTT, they might as well continue broadcasting the regions on DTH as well. It remains profitable for TVNZ to do regional advertising.

I have an xcruiser XDSR600HD freeview satellite receiver and recorder. It is DVB-S2 compatible.

 

I no longer have sky open, eden +1 or bravo +1 (and never got Al Jazeera), but have all the other channels.

 

Am I able to retune it to receive sky open? Or will I eventually lose all the channels?

 

I want to keep it as a satellite receiver if possible as I have other options for UHF (the UHF receiver card is not currently installed).

 

Any advice appreciated.

May not be compatible with the new satellite, according to this:
