How to Scan NZ Free-to-Air Satellite Channels on ENGLAON Google TVUpdated 6 days ago
This guide applies to ENGLAON X90 Google TV using Freeview Satellite through a satellite dish in New Zealand.
Freeview’s satellite TV service in New Zealand moved to KoreaSat 6 on 15 April 2025. KoreaSat 6 is still located at 160.0E, replacing the older Optus D2 satellite.
This article is based on the ENGLAON X90 Google TV menu. If your TV is a different model, the menu layout may look slightly different, but the working principle is the same.

Important Before You Start
please check:
| Check Item | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Signal type | You are using Freeview Satellite / DVB-S / DVB-S2 |
| Cable connection | The satellite dish cable is connected to the TV’s SAT input |
Recommended NZ Freeview Satellite Settings
| Setting | Recommended Value |
| Satellite | Ku_Optus D1 160.0E |
| LNB Frequency | Try 11300 first, then 10750 if there is no signal |
| LNB Power | On / Auto |
| 22KHz | Off / Auto |
| Toneburst | Off / None |
| DiSEqC 1.0 | Off / None |
| DiSEqC 1.1 | Off / None |
Although NZ Freeview Satellite now uses KoreaSat 6, it is still located at 160.0E. If your ENGLAON TV menu shows Ku_Optus D1 160.0E, Optus D1 160.0E, Optus D2 160.0E, or another 160.0E Ku Band option, it can still be used for scanning.
The satellite name is mainly a preset label. The most important settings are the 160.0E position, Ku-band, correct LNB frequency, and correct transponder settings.
