I have a Sky satellite dish with twin LNBs. Since we now only have one Sky box I thought I'd use the second LNB to getFreeview on our Samsung QA55Q6FNA,
After scrolling through the list of 81 satellites and deselecting all but Optus D1 I eventually got a list of 10 channels - all of them  versions of TV1.
Then I spotted something called Freeview SAT which gave me a list of 16 channels, but unfortunately when I try to use them I get a "No signal" banner.

 

I'm obviously missing something, but I have no idea what.

 

Any info or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Is the TV region set to NZ?

 

Your settings need to reflect Freeview Sat (not just Freeview and not just Sat) 

 

Have you got the correct LNB settings?

 

Correct frequency? 10750 or 11300 MHz

 

From the internet:

 

->->-> LNB Power = On
->->-> LNB Settings
->->->-> Satellite = Optus D1 160E
->->->-> Transponder = 12483 MHz, H/L
->->->-> DiSEqC Mode = Off
->->->-> LNB Type = Single Oscillator
->->->-> LNB Oscillators = 10750 Mhz
->->->-> Tone 22 kHz = Off
