Transponder frequency change for BVN . Can you help?

Julie from Karori

I have an Optus D2 satellite dish so I can receive the Dutch/ Flemish BVN television broadcasts. Ever since they changed the transponder frequency I have no more reception. I do have the box plugged in and the remote and tried everything to change it but no luck.

Ever since they changed the transponder frequency I have no more reception. I do have the box plugged in and the remote and tried everything to change it but no luck. Is there anyone on Neighbourly who can do this for me? I will pay you for your time of course. I took a screenshot of the BVN website with details, but it does not mean anything to me. ( I know you can get BVN online, but I have the whole setup already and would like to use it.

Julie from Karori

This stain remover is excellent for spillages, spots, pet stains, upholstery and the car. I bought it at the time, because I thought my large Bissell carpet cleaner could not be fixed, but I was wrong, so I have only used this cleaner about half a dozen times.

I bought it at the time, because I thought my large Bissell carpet cleaner could not be fixed, but I was wrong, so I have only used this cleaner about half a dozen times. It is for sale at Godfreys for $249, so this is a bargain. Godfreys also sells the carpet shampoos for this machine. The Bissell is in excellent order and comes with the user guide.
It is very easy to operate.

Hey neighbours,

Good news – 2021 is set to be the year of the long weekend.

Five out of 10 public holidays will be Mondayised (or Tuesdayised in one case) next year, which means if you work a standard Monday to Friday week, you can look forward to some extended breaks.

In fact, once you’ve tacked on the weekends, you’ll end up getting a whopping 25 days off out of those 10 stat days, plus your region’s anniversary day.
