TLDR: If using Freeview satelite go to channel 20, if you can’t watch Al Jazeera, then it’s time to upgrade.

From :

On January 22nd, satellite broadcasts of Sky Open, eden+1, Bravo+1 and Al Jazeera will be updated in preparation for an upcoming New Zealand satellite TV network update.

If you’re tuned in through a UHF aerial, or use the Freeview Streaming TV app, this won’t affect you in any way.

Most satellite boxes and TVs will pick up the updated channels seamlessly on the day, but if yours does not, give it a retune.

Older satellite boxes won’t pick up these channels and will need to be replaced. Check Your Satellite Box.

Do a quick check now to see if you need to replace your satellite box to keep watching those channels. It’s easy!

Go to Freeview channel 20 and if can’t watch Al Jazeera, then it’s time to upgrade.

If you can watch Al Jazeera on channel 20, you’re all set.
