I am on 4.3 final (fresh install) and as stated by the title, I can’t download any new templates, as none of them show up as available, even though I have enabled all 4 of the Qubes provided repos.
Are you connected to a network with working Internet?
Yes, I believe so
Did you try using the command line? In dom0 terminal:
qvm-template --enablerepo qubes-templates-community install <template>
Do you get any error message?
admin@dom0:~$ qvm-template --enablerepo qubes-templates-community install kicksecure-18
usage: qvm-template [--verbose] [--quiet] [--help] [--version] [--repo-files REPO_FILES] [--keyring KEYRING] [--updatevm UPDATEVM] [--enablerepo REPOID] [--disablerepo REPOID] [--repoid REPOS] [--releasever RELEASEVER] [--refresh] [--cachedir CACHEDIR] [--keep-cache] [--yes] {install,reinstall,downgrade,upgrade,download,list,info,search,remove,purge,clean,repolist,migrate-from-rpmdb} ... qvm-template: error: Template 'kicksecure-18' not found.
Sorry, I forgot to add --verbose, could you try qvm-template --verbose --enablerepo qubes-templates-community install kicksecure-18 please? 
Starting with qvm-template --refresh might explain why you see no template

Hi dvm22
What do you get with:
qvm-template --refresh list
?
[Edit: … and with:
qvm-template --refresh --enablerepo qubes-templates-community list
?]

Also when I try to update dom0 using Qubes Update, I get this:
Checking for available updates for dom0…
Using sys-firewall as UpdateVM for Dom0

Failed to check for dom0 updates
Ok I changed the dom0 network qube for updates to sys-net and it worked, I had it set to sys-firewall. Also changed the default update proxy to sys-firewall.
