Some of the TV channels on MultiTV have been out-of-sync in the past few days. Tuning to CNN International for example, plays the audio of another TV channel. This can be corrected by rescanning the MultiTV digital satellite decoder. Another reason to rescan is that Multi TV has added 6 radio channels to the service. Re-scanning adds the radio channels to your bouquet of channels.
To rescan,
- Press Menu on your Multi TV remote control
- Select Installation
- Select Install satellite and press OK
- Press the green button on the remote control
- Your Digibox will start the scan automatically and find all those great Television and radio channels
The radio channels just added are:
- Joy FM
- Asempa FM
- Sunny FM
- Atlantis Radio
- Adom FM
- Hitz FM
To access the radio channels, just press the TV/R button on your MultiTV remote control.
Now I see why my MultiTV decoder boots much faster than my DSTV decoder. DSTV decoders automatically scan for the latest channels before allowing one to watch/listen to any channel but the MultiTV decoders obviously do not go through the scanning process. I wonder though, would one have to re-scan each time MultiTV adds new channels?

Is there anyone who uses MultiTV’s MDVB-S9800 free to air Digibox?
I live in the Upper East Region and have been waiting eagerly for radio (especially JOY FM) on MultiTV. I was happy when finally radio was added. Here are a few comments.
1. The Radio stations are not in Stereo but in mono.
2. The quality of sound is okay listening through the TV speakers. However when I connected the digibox straight to my component audio system, it sounds like AM radio! I thought satellite radio should be of better quality that FM. In fact you can even hear static!
3. The sound levels of the different stations are not the same.
4. Electronic Programme Guide does not work for Radio. It seems that for the TV Channels are being tested.
5. TV3 is gone for good. That Channel has now been named GTV.
Please MuultiMedia, we put you in the leagues of radio stations like RayPower 100 so we expect high quality Stereo radio stations. I am in fact thinking of going back for my C-band dish which was blown away during a storm. JOY FM on C-band (also mono transmission) had a far superior sound quality.
I had also been monitoring Multi TV without an external sound system and so had no idea that the radio channels were broadcast on mono. I am disappointed but then one can give them a chance and assume they would sort this out in the near future. Same applies to the other points you noted.
Should you ever go back to your C-band system, be sure to tie the dish down more strongly.
For now, enjoy.
are there other channels i could get using the multi-tv reciever like TBN, emmanuel tv, espn, and any other free to air channels??
I am yet to try that with a MultiTV receiver. Has anyone done is successfully? Please share how it went.

Hi
Radio Gold just joined MultiTV as the 7th radio station.
Just rescan your reciever!
Waoh. Good for Radio Gold. I’ve been out of town lately and can’t confirm & rescan till I get back. Thanks for the information.
I rescanned the decoder and can confirm the presence of Radio Gold. Thanks daPilma.
Maache my friends,

That is the important point, that we, who have a message, make sure that others can hear and see it.
