Before reading, I assume you already have a Multi TV subscription or intend to do so and that you have read my earlier blog posts on Multi TV. Else, you should read Multi TV Ghana, a new free digital satellite TV and Early review of Multi TV + Satellite information before reading this post.
A Multi TV dish
The principle is very simple. Multi TV signals reach your decoder from a satellite called Astra 2B, located at 28.2°E. Multi Tv is not the only broadcaster on that satellite. There are a few others. Following the steps enumerated below, you would be tweaking your Multi TV decoder to recognize those other signals so you can enjoy the other broadcasts.
To start: You need a fully installed Multi TV system.
- Press MENU on your MultiTV remote control
- Select INSTALLATION
- Select EDIT SATELLITE
- Click on the Yellow button to “Add” a new satellite. A new dialog box should appear titled “Add Satellite”.
- Fill the “Add Satellite” box using the information below and then select YES:
- Satellite: Astra 2B
- Longitude: 101 E
- Frequency: 12572
- Symbol Rate: 2854
- Polarization: V (Press the Right button to change the polarization from H to V)
- Astra 2B should now appear in the list of Satellites under the EDIT SATELLITE menu. Select Astra 2B and press OK.
- Under EDIT TRANSPONDER, Press the Yellow button and enter the follow values on step at a time:
Frequency Symbol Rate Polarization
12572 2854 V
12599 3250 V
12729 2725 V - Press Exit twice.
- Press Menu > Installation > Install Satellite > Green Button (Scan)
- You should now see 13 TV and 9 Radio stations. That’s it!
In addition to the 10 TV and 7 Radio channels from Multi TV, the following are available when you follow the steps above.
- GTV (Ghana TV): the state-owned broadcaster that offers general programming including news, sports, music, movies, and more.
- CRTV: a Christian-themed TV station that offers news, documentaries, movies and more
- LTM TV: A Cameroonian TV station that offers news & entertainment in both English and French.
- Uniiq (FM) Accra: A radio service offered by state-owned Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC). It features news, entertainment, government propaganda and more.
- Royal Radio: A Christian-themed radio service offering general Christian programming, especially music.
Should you have any questions, simply post them in the comments area. Happy viewing…

Many thanks for the DIY David. Pity, multiTV isn’t in these parts..
Though I assume you’re in the USA, you could have stated what parts you are. There are even more free-to-air tv/radio services on satellite, in the western world.
I want to know what you will do with the newly trained multi tv instalers.Will they be given certificates?HOW AND WHERE WILL THEY WORK?HOW MUCH SHOULD THEY CHARGE FOR ONE INSTALLATION?
Ghanaians are ready to enjoy anything cooked right from their own pot but i think your team should practice atleast something extra. Hitz tv is just too boring, the music video everyday. Is that what they do on radio?. Go out for more videos please
My concerns with multi tv are
1.my signal strength is low as 50-53 & quality arround 39-44 is that the reason i do receive poor quality video?
2.I wish if aljazeera could be given 24/7 chnnel because of their news coverage. Please help
Get an installer to tune your dish properly. You should receive nothing less than 55% signal quality considering you are in Accra.
I hope Multi TV is reading this.

Citi FM is now available on the same satellite as Multi TV though not technically provided by Multi TV.

My decoder has a pendrive slot where I record programs but it not functioning now but formatting the drive every time i slot in, what could possibly be the problem?
I heard a rumour that 11 new channels hav been added to the already existing ones, is it true?
My decoder is positioning at 45e and i dont have astra 2b but rather astra2a,and astra 2a is at 28.2e,so how can i add channels?
You need to face Astra 2B, to be able to receive signals. Astra 2A & Astra 2E are not meant for Africa.
what is the position of astra 2b, can i add astra 2b. Second,intelsat 12 is where my multi tv channels are and it is positioning at 45e so how can i add channels

Well, I don’t know how your channels are ordered but the channel that shows Midnight TV is the one showing BBC & France 24 currently. Just check it at midnight on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
yah thank u for that information God bless u
hi, i really thank you for all these stuffs. pls keep us posted on latest developments.
i have some questions for you to answer.
1. why is it that these stations are not free in our country Nigeria?
2.Are there Decoders that can get these stations free and how much?
3.Are there other stations that we can get from multi-tv apart from the afore-mentioned?
Onichakwe David Andy
Aba,Nigeria.
Onichakwe,
1. IF you are referring to Multi TV, then I’d tell you upfront that you should be able to receive ALL the channels from any part of Nigeria if you enter the parameters properly.
2. Just check your nearest satellite equipment dealer for the price of a very good MPEG4-compatible decoder. Strong SRT4669 comes recommended.
3. Read Infinity TV, a new Direct-To-Home Digital Satellite TV service for information about other channels.
Best wishes.
goodday, mr Oluniyi D. pls kindly sent to me some new satellite names an frequency smb’that can be uesd in nigeria.

The principle is very simple. Your satellite decoder must be MPEG4 compatible. If it isn’t, you won’t be able to watch all the channels. Also, your dish must be pointed towards Astra 2B.
