Sky completes switchover to new satellite
Sky New Zealand (SKT) advises that the switchover to its new satellite has occurred, with Sky’s
satellite services now operating on the Koreasat6 satellite.
Sophie Moloney, Sky Chief Executive, said: “The programme to migrate to a new satellite has been a
significant project for Sky in FY25, and technology projects of this scale always carry risk and
complexity. We are delighted to confirm that the switch to the new satellite successfully occurred in
the early hours of this morning.”
Post switchover testing and customer engagement activities are now underway, with initial testing
showing that the vast majority of customers are accessing Sky services over satellite as normal.
Customer Care and Operations teams are working to support any customers who require assistance
to connect to the new satellite and optimise their set up, noting that customers on the new Sky Box
with sufficient broadband connectivity will continue to access services via IP until their satellite
service is restored.
