For those who do not know already, there a few unencrypted channels on Eutelsat W4 and Eutelsat W7, both located at 36° East. DStv was formerly on W4 but is now beaming its signals from W7. The information I am sharing relates to how to view the unencrypted channels that share the same satellite as Multichoice’s DStv, and not how to illegally hack into DStv’s encrypted channels.
DStv decoders are designed, manufactured and sold to receive Multichoice services only. Therefore, I offer no guarantee that all the channels I am sharing would necessarily work on your DStv decoder. The DStv HD decoder for example, does not offer a “Public bouquet” and even for the single view decoders that do, one might be unable to watch the unencrypted channels once subscription is overdue. It would thus make the most sense to simply buy a good MPEG4-compatible digital satellite receiver and connect same to your satellite dish. There would be more on that later.
Some unencrypted TV channels currently available on Eutelsat W4 & W7. Image: davidajao.com
The free channels from China
The easiest unencrypted channels to watch are the following 3 TV channels from China Central Television (CCTV), the major state television broadcaster in mainland China:
- CCTV News (formerly CCTV 9): this channel is targetted at an English-speaking international audience and mainly broadcasts news and current affairs programmes
- CCTV-F: programming targetted at a French-speaking international audience
- CCTV-4: an international channel broadcast in Chinese language
Any DStv decoders can view the CCTV channels whether your subscription is expired or not. So long your satellite is pointed towards 36° East.
If you are using a good Free-To-Air (FTA) digital satellite receiver, a blind scan should reveal the CCTV channels. Else, enter the following parameters to your receiver:
- In South Africa – Frequency: 11637 Symbol rate: 22000 Polarization: Vertical FEC: 3/4
- Rest of Africa – Frequency: 11940 Symbol rate: 27500 Polarization: Horizontal FEC: 3/4 and Frequency: 11862 Symbol rate: 27500 Polarization: Horizontal FEC: 3/4
The free channels from East Africa
In recent times, a few channels have emerged on Eutelsat W7 from Kenya, and beamed at the African continent:
- NTV Kenya: a leading TV channel in Kenya offering news and general entertainment
- KBC Channel 1: a TV service from the wholly-state owned Kenya Broadcasting Corporation
- K24: a news and current affairs channel from Kenya
- KTN Kenya: an all-round channel in Kenya. Arguably the leading TV station
- NTV Uganda: a general entertainment channel targetted at Uganda
Parameters:
- Frequency: 11731 Symbol rate: 8751 Polarization: Vertical FEC: 3/5
- Frequency: 11716 Symbol rate: 3141 Polarization: Vertical FEC: 3/4
The free channels from Francophone West Africa
A bouquet of mostly French-speaking African channels exist on Eutelsat W4.
- La Chaîne de Futur (LCF): a tv channel from Togo
- Mboa TV: an entertainment TV channel based in France and exclusively dedicated to black-afro artists
- RTS 1 (Senegal): Radiodiffusion Télévision Sénégalaise (RTS) is the Senegalese public broadcasting company
- 2STV: a TV channel in Senegal broadcasting mainly cultural programmes, interviews with local music and other artistic stars, and talkshows
- Touba TV: a privately-owned TV channel in Senegal
- ORTB TV: Office de Radiodiffusion et Télévision du Bénin (ORTB) is a the mainstream terrestrial television channel and radio operator in Benin
- LoveWorld Plus: Christian-themed programming in English language from Nigeria
Parameters:
- Frequency: 12437 Symbol rate: 23437 Polarization: Horizontal FEC: 3/4
Kindly note that the channels are subject to change without notice. Thus, re-scanning your receiver regularly ensures that you are constantly in the loop as to the current channels.
As always, your comments and suggestions are welcome.

You might only be able to watch the unencrypted channels, with a Strong digital satellite receiver. If you really want DStv’s premium content, its best to buy DStv’s decoder.
how can i do that..access me with that
I haven’t yet his price,a guy of the DSTV has promised me to send me by email since start this week end.
Thanks
Good job u doin man, keep it up. Also pls do u know anything about NTA stb box i mean d newly introduced decoder, d channel list and d frequency pls. If u do kindly post here. Some 1 said they’ve been usin in Abuja.
Well, you can still use a strong decoder like SRT4669X or higher. Go to http://www.strong-technologies.com and make your choice out of their hi-tech universal range of decoders.Then you can make your purchase.
Once the installer has set your dish to receive Eutelsat w4 at 36 degrees East, and your decoder preferably an SRT4669x which is MPEG 4 is set up at Eutelsat W4.
You can do a blind scan and get DSTV channels and all FTA on that band. Also HITV channels will be included. Make sure you subscribe to watch any of the DSTV or HITV channels. DSTV and HITV cannot be hacked. You risk frying your decoder.
I don’t understand you .. do you mean that i can re-scan my strong decoder and get dstv stations on it.. and if i subscribe.. i will be able to watch them for free
how do i subscribe..cos i understand that i need to get a card and i need a decoder before i can have access….can u give me the subscription process…….
I am a christian who always watch christian channel on free public channels but unfortunately DBN OR GILBERT DEYA MINISTRIES just dissapeared.HOw can i get hold of it again.pls help me. I am in South Africa Mbombela KaBokweni.

AUB is not a TV channel in the strict sense of the word but a service of an union of African Broadcasters that produces and distributes TV programming usually during sporting events. Thus, there is to satellite parameters to be shared as even their live feeds are very likely to be encrypted.
Pls,i use a str 4669x decoder,yet the eutelsat w7 is not listed among the inherent sats,is there a way i can search it out b’cos i av only w4,w3 and sum odas but nt w7 sat
You would have to enter W7 manually. W7 satellite is relatively recent.
How can one enter w7 manually?
i can only view d 3 china stations, how do i access d rest using my dstv decoder.
You would need a free-to-air satellite receiver to view the rest. Choose one that’s MPEG4-compatible.

Thank u for info.I’ve tried those frequency succesiful except the free channels from east africa.Once i enter symbo rate(rt) on my dstv decoder…The world ‘Invalid symbo rate’ display on the screen.What can i do?

PLS KINDLY ASSIST ME ON HOW TO INSTALL MIRO BOX
Pls. assist with unscrambling SABC 123 and ETV..Stop viewing it before the 2010 World Cup.I use SKYx (Strong) FTA reciever.
e.TV and SABC 1/2/3 are targetted at residents of southern Africa only. I do not share unscrambling codes.
Well through trial & error, I have successfully added 10 extra channels, I have no voice on the Love channel & some of the channels are yet to start. (any of the instructions given above by others do not correspond with the options that are available on the Muti tv box)
Here’s how you do it:
1. select Menu
2. Search Satelite
3. Auto search
4. Start search
A screen should be visible now with a blank channel & radio menu, it takes a few secs for the search to begin, & a few mins to complete.
I have just saved myself 30cd, which 1 installer wanted to charge me for the extra channels LOL!!!!

Ideally, you should be using a DStv decoder permanently. They marry the smartcards to a particular decoder. You would need an accredited DStv installer to help you with this.

I am using the DSD 1131 decoder. I try settings for free to air East africa on network 2 I get signal strength of about 60%. However the public operator bouquet is not functional. I cant access the free to air channels in Kenya. Kindly advice
Welcome to the club. Us DStv HD decoder users have the same problem. The best thing for FTA channels would be to stay away from DStv decoders.
Please Niyi,I observed that Strong Decoder 4663X could not be used to activate mytv cards anymore except 4669x,why? & secondly,even if you have the 4669X,you can only use it to activate once,is it true & why? Thanks
first let be thank you for ur support i really enjoy the good works u have been doing. i am an installer i really want to know more about installation, being perfect on it and beyond. i really dont know how possible it is to get free to air channel from dstv decoder.thanks i also need ur number to learn more about installation.

I even used this setting> frequency of 12722, symbol rate of 26657, at vertical and 1/2 but still no way. what is wrong. I was told is because my signal quality is too high.

i need free channel settings for 4663x decoder freq, pol,
will this not affect the other channells? I just wanna know bra before the changes
I have used a DSD1110(+2) to watch the multichoice PAY and the Technosat T-888 silver in Zambia for the FTA.
I am back in RSA and I have entered the codes into the DSD1110(+2). I still watch the Multichoice and on the menu I select PAS7 and all the FTA chanels are there. No effect on the other channels.
One thing that I have noticed. I have entered the codes on the Technosat T-888 and the FTA chanels on the two decoders are not the same. So I use both.
I can watch SABC1,2 &3 as FTA on the Technosat (not on the DSD1110) and as soon as I find a editor that will allow me to download the keys and codes from the technosat, I will forward it.
This weekend I will try a different sat. O yes. At present I am using the sat at 68 deg.
Enjoy
Ockert
Please tell me how can l watch the SABC 1,2,3 wth Strong 4669 MPEG4, and what code do l inter to edit the FTA channels.
Hi,
My FTA decoder is Astrovox 260. Its one of those old models. My question is, do we have a decoder capable of decoding all the frequencies in Intelsat 7/10?
Hi, i need the settings for strong satellite receiver and recorder in tamale,here in Ghana.i would be very glad if u could help me.

Thanks man, this is just my first visit to this great site and i can feel the passion of a true Naija in you. I just got an info from somebody that there is one particular free channel on hitv signal showing live english premiership, can you pls tell me more about that? Bless you bro.
HiTV is a premium satellite TV service and I am very skeptical about HiTV beaming something as valuable as the English Premier League (EPL) for free.
You might want to cross-check with your friend for the real fact.
Thanks for your kind words.

Hi there, PLease I love in South Africa, and I would like to watch Africa Magic Yoruba. Do you have any settings I might be able to use? Thanks a lot!
Hi there, Please I live in South Africa, and I would like to watch Africa Magic Yoruba. Do you have any settings I might be able to use? Thanks a lot!
By your request, I am assuming DStv does not offer Africa Magic Yoruba in South Africa. There is little that can be done about it. The satellite that serves southern Africa is different from the one that serves the rest of Africa. The “rest of Africa” (W7) satellite cannot beam signals to South Africa. If you can go through the troubles of investing in a very big dish, you might be able to track EutelSat W7 at 36•E, home to Africa Magic Yoruba.
Else, just petition Multichoice South Africa to broadcast Africa Magic Yoruba.
I hope I made sense to you.
Yeah, you def made sense…and thanks for the quick response too! I guess my only option is to try and petition Mnet SA..
Thanks again.

CRTV is off-air and I don’t know when they will be back.
I m in Namibia Installer credited by namibia Multchoice, I m having with FTA reveice in SABC 1,2 & 3 most of the time my customs complained that SABC 1,2 & 3 in scramble but is well installing what to do? some receiver are open by pin number and i dont knw pin
Since SABC 1,2 & 3 are targetted at residents of South Africa, you have to consult an installer in South Africa.
as per DSTV http://www.dstv.com/dstvsa/content/en/about_us_dstv_multichoice “Free to Air (FTA) refers to channels which are free to access and watch. In South Africa, SABC & e.tv are considered free-to-air channels.” But it is not very easy to set the decoder up.
DSD1110 (+2) list it as FTA but it does not work.
Technosat T-888 silver is working with SABC1, 2 &3 but not e.tv
My strong tv decoder can not receive most of the stations and the etv has been of for sometime.Pls help moi
Please my e.tv. Is not showing again
I live in Lagos Nigeria
As I understand that e.tv was illegally brodcast over the FTA channels and is stopped on request by e.tv
1. Possibly licensing issues?
2. The channel has put a stop to this illegal broadcast by a 3rd party and e.tv will only be available in South Africa on analogue or pay dstv?
There are only two ways to receive e.tv
1. Move to RSA.
2. Get the cheapest “Select 1″ option from multichoice (Africa)
Activate the PATCH MENU on the Technosat T-888 Silver receiver.
You must be in the VIDEO mode. (Not Radio)
Select any channel.
Press the F1 button on your remote.
The display displays a H
For the PATCH
Enter 000
The PATCH option will be turned on or off.
Enable the patch panel (FTA) on the Technosat decoder.
For the RS232 mode
Enter 111
The RS232 mode menu is displaying on the TV.
Select EXTERNAL BOX and EXIT to escape.
Now you can check MENU/INSTALLATION for more options.
My question is now as follows: “What can I do with the RS232 mode?”
Please, do it on your own risk!
Codes for the SABC1, 2 &3 FTA receiver
SAT NAME: Pas7_10_KU
TRANSPONDER:11674 v 26652
PID:
SABC1: (PID) V85 A83 P85
SABC2: (PID) V260 A34 P260
SABC3: (PID) V65 A89 P65
ETV: (PID) V272 A273 P272 (SIGNAL IS BLOCKED)
BTV: (PID) V308 A256 P8190
Try this for more than 40 FTA TV and Radio (Previous reply)
It is working on Multichoice DSTV decoder as well as FTA decoder.

I got sum settin 4 free2air channel on my dual view decoder which I even gottin almost 89 channel, but now dat I change 2 PvR, I don’t get enuf channel & I used d same very code I used 4 my dual view, I only get 39 wit no muvi station, pls help out if u can!
Sowi, I wanna ask how many free channel do u get on free2air south africa? Thnx
I have a dual LNB with a temporary 14 inch (35mm) X 15.5 inch (39mm) model SO351m01 reflector (dish.) I left my 1.5meter dish in Zambia when I moved back to Centurion-Gauteng-RSA.
I have to go for a groin rupture operation and there after I will install my 74 inch dish with a BSC621-2 LNB and a 26 inch dish with a model LK6NS-00 LNB to see what else I can get from KU Pas7-10 and from Eutelsat W4 & W7. I also want to do a manual for dummies on how to install a dish and set it up. I have surfed the net and I am not happy with the instructions that I found.
What I see with the small dish and a Multichoice DSD1110 (+2)single decoder is;
My Tv, CTV, EMMAN, HOPE, WRS, SEN3, SEN4, SEN5, SEN6, ADSA1, AIR03, SWC, KRUIS (I like this one), LOVEW, EZEKI, ITV, DAYST, GODCH, F24, MADAM, FAITH, MESSI, PRESS, MUVI, NOVO, SUPRE, ACLAM, ABN, KICC, AHLUL. (It is 28 out of about 244 channels.)
With the same dish and the other half of the LNB on the Technosat T-888 silver and the same settings, I see the following;
SABC1, SABA2, SABC3, KRUIS, GODTV, BOTSWANA TV (VERY GOOD QUALITY) F24, IS ZONE (SKY NEWS), SEN3, SEN4, SEN5, SEN6, LOVEW, EZEKI, ITV, INT1, DAYSTAR. (another 5 channels)
The problem that I have with MUVI is that every time after a power failure in Centurion, the DSD1110 reboots and skips a lot of channels. After I have read your request, there were only 7 channels on FTA. I have reboot it from the menu and now it is back to 28.
You have 11 channels more than I. Why?
I will ask Oluniyi D. Ajao to pass my e-mail address on to you.
How do i setup Muvi tv and other FTA channels on my Dstv PVR decoder.
Oluniyi,
Hi, I have got a motor and want to install dish which satellite do I target as starting point on setting up I’m in ZImbabwe.
Start with Eutelsat W7 at 36 degrees East. It contains some free-to-air channels.
I JUST BOUGHT MY PACKAGE ON 15-11-2010 AND INSTANTLY SUSCRIBE FOR N9500 A MONTH PACKAGE I CAN ONLY SEE FOUR FREE STATION OTHERS ARE SAYING ERROR 107-4
pls am using DSTdecoder,how can i put codes for free channels.pls send the code through my email
Gud day my big bros,I actually want u to help me send some settings on JoyTv,InfinityTv to my e-mail. I just discovered that with SRT4669x,one could watch some entertaining programms for free. Kindly respond to my e-mail,I shall be awaiting ur reply. Tnx
hello i love dstv package. how can i receive dstv on IS 7/10 at 68.degree on c band..i get the satellite channels list with its on c band. i cant watch these channel on old decoder. have any solution plz tell me plz…..
DStv has left Intelsat 10 on C band, several months ago. They now broadcast on two beams from Eutelsat W7 on KU band. Talk to your nearest DStv installer for further assistance.
Update on my previous reply.
Play with te following frequencies on IS 7/10 at 68.5 degrees.
I have managed to get MYTV and BTV on the DSD1110 (+2) but lost AIR03 (now 30 tv channels).
I have managed to get SWC on the Technosat T-888 silver (now 19 channels).
Frequency to “11170″ Symbol Rate to “26652″ to “V” FEC to “5/6″
Frequency to “11170″ Symbol Rate to “26654″ to “V” FEC to “5/6″
Frequency to “11625″ Symbol Rate to “15000″ to “V” FEC to “3/4″
Frequency to “11674″ Symbol Rate to “26652″ to “V” FEC to “5/6″
Frequency to “11674″ Symbol Rate to “26652″ to “V” FEC to “2/3″
Frequency to “11252″ Symbol Rate to “26657″ to “H” FEC to “1/2″
Frequency to “12522″ Symbol Rate to “26657″ to “H” FEC to “1/2″
Frequency to “12562″ Symbol Rate to “26657″ to “H” FEC to “1/2″
Frequency to “12682″ Symbol Rate to “26657″ to “H” FEC to “1/2″
Frequency to “12722″ Symbol Rate to “26657″ to “V” FEC to “1/2″
Frequency to “12722″ Symbol Rate to “26657″ to “H” FEC to “2/3″
As soon as I am out of hospital;
1. I will compile a list on what each frequency gives us.
2. I will play with Eutelsat W7 on KU band and let you know.
If there are frequencys not working on your system, get someone to fine tune your dish first. This is my technosat problem because all the frequencies start with 12*** are not working “No signal”.
Lekker speel. (enjoy)
pls,can you send me free channel frequency in dstv and multitv.can you also pls give secret code to e-tv in mytv,i use 4669x strong decoder
I would like to get Bloomberg TV playing in the background in my office but am not prepared to pay DSTV another 500+ rand per month for the privilege (only available on their most expensive option and already paying at home)
I have tried to watch it online but the buffering etc issues are horrendous
Anybody got any suggestions – In the UK where I am from it was a Free to Air service provided by Sky
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
guy
i just bought a new strong decoder and don’t know the frequencies of some channels(eg,etv,sabc) can anyone please help me?
new decoder? Get an installer to help you. But if you are replacing an old decoder then do a blind scan.But check but checkout Eutelsat 4 or7 at 36 degrees east for a start. Happy viewing
the dollar ($) channels on Eutelsat W7/W4 are all now free to air so enjoy it whiles it last. 17 channels in all
eg. Africa magic and plus, ss9,bliz sport news, Met Action, magic world etc.
11844 v 27499 or 11865 v 27500
pls i need to get the equivalent of the hd4 decoder in= naira so that i can get one for my self
i am in Jozi and would love to get some in getting sabc channels on FTA channels. Orket can u plz help.

Your decoder preferably a strong srt4669x updated with the latest software from Persian whizkid and the HE_AAC software installed. You need the HE-AAC sound format to get audio like on some of infinity channels.
Hi can you please upload the audio software or send the internet address where it can be downloaded
I am Daniel frm Nigeria pls help I watch dis stations,Africa magic and plus, ss9,bliz sport news, Met Action, magic world etc.but NO SOUND
i will be very greatfull if my request is accepted
@daniel
do u pay for watching those channels u just mentioned. If free, how did you do it. Please reply me
Blindscan on your srt4669x updated with the latest software from Persian whizkid and HE_AAC software installed. You need the HE-AAC sound format to get audio.
I don’t have that decoder srt4669x but can i get it on dstv dsd 1110 (+2) decoder? Please help
Strong decoders SRT4669x has sound if you have HE_AAC software installed.For DSTV decoders please talk to an accredited DSTV agent or installer for help as you cannot tamper with DSTV equipment or install software on their decoders.But I believe their HD and latest decoders have that software.
Looking at the picture quality, I believe the channels are for their HD bouquet and this is the trial signal. Enjoy it while it lasts.
NO I dont pay just go to menu and put in dis frequency
11844 v 27499 or 11865 v 27500 u ar free to go
but 4 now NO SOUND
Ockert pls help im in zambia and get only about 18channels no Emman,My tv,etc could it be bcoz signal stregnth is less than 70per cent.
Good morning Goofy,
On my DSD1110 (+2) I have a signal strength of 68% and quality of 100%
On my Technosat T-888 silver I have a signal strength of 93% and quality of 100%
I have a dual LNB with a temporary (mobile) 14 inch (35mm) X 15.5 inch (39mm) model SO351m01 dish. The one LNB feeds both my decoders.
If the dish is not better that 90% alligned, the DSD does not work at all but the Technosat has no problems.
Funny, the DSD(68%) has more FTA than the Technosat(93%).
I will investigate as soon as I am mobile and my wife allows me…(I have not check the signal with a meter yet.)
(I am in love with your country and would like to move back to Kafue road, Rome, Lusaka. Ndola is a beautiful town and I think Choma or Zimba? is second. I do not like Kitwe!)

You are on the wrong website Ernest. Contact DStv directly for help on how to hack into their system and use their service without paying. Shame on you Ernest.
Thanks guy for the wonderful info.
Please I would be highly delighted if u can send me the “whiz persian & HE-AAC” software and CODE to my mail so that i can install it in my “srt4669x” receiver.
Thanks on your respoose.
Hello. Please go to Google and paste the following and search.
http://wizkid.persiangig.com/ This will bring you to index of/ strong patch software. Click on it and viola you have the software web page.
This will also bring you to a series of software and look out for and click on this software to download.
SRT4669XII_7111_ALL_ME_101p_20101117.zip .
Remember it is for strong SRT4669x only. Good luck.
after download how do I install the software as some people claim that some of these software can blow off your decoder.
Eutelsat W7/W4 is working in South Africa
Frequency: 11637
Symbol rate: 22000
Polarization: HOR
FEC: 3/4
If the Polarization is V as per this blog, it does not work.
The settings on my technosat 11637/h/22000
Transponder: 11637/h/22000
Motor off:
LNB: Universal or (9750/10650)

Signal quality on Frequency: 12437 Symbol rate: 23437 Polarization: Horizontal FEC: 3/4 is very bad.
This is with my mobile dish!

Dear moderator. Anyone talking hacking must be sanctioned please.
I tried the software but my own receiver does not take the software I was able install the second software SRT4669X_ME_7111_ALL_110p_20101028 so if anyone tried the one given by ockert and it was reused you can try this one.
How do you install the software on a Strong decoder, after downloading
Olusola,
that is great. I agree with you. You need different software for the different receivers AND know how to set the frequencies on your (own) receiver.
Dear moderator, I agree with CHURCHILL. I have subscribed and have free access to the pay channels. This FTA is a hobby. Destroy the hackers.
I do not want to chase people away but here is more information on FTA:

Pls,if there is anyone requesting on how to hack on any system network atall,he/she should be blocked off from this conversation. I think this site is used to know more not anyone playing with our intelligents here. Thank you
Could anyone help talk to Multichoice to provide more systems? Because all their customers are fed up now,we(Installers) kept promising them(customers) everyday. What are we going to do to appease these customers. Thanks

Ockert I really enjoy your valuable info this is one of the things I am saying we need intelligent people who gives valuable information.
Please help me out after searching the free stations on my srt 4669x my eutelsat W7 was missing I probably by mistake press something and I’ve not been able to get it back.
At present I know nothing about the SRT 4669x
Search TECHNOSAT on the web and you might be able to find something there. It was where I have started after I have bought my first decoders. It took me a lot of late nighs, frustration and destroying of the decoder setup.
Try the following and if you do not come right, let me know.
http://www.technosat-uae.com
http://www.sat-universe.com
@ockert…
Is the settings you wrote for dstv NIGERIA or south africa? I m asking that because my decoder has ‘dstv w4/7′ as its home network and not ‘pas 7′ like you mentioned.
Please try it and let us know what decoder you are using and if it is working. Find all the settings in this blog.
My DSD1110 has DSTV W4/7 and does not work in Zambia or RSA.
My Technosat: I have entered DSTV W4/7 settings, connected it to a disk pointing to DSTV w4/7 and it works.
There are decoders designed for pay channels and not FTA. I understand that there is a Vivid on the market, exactly the same as the multichoice decoder, manufactured by the same manufacturer, with different software AND it is for FTA. You can try one.
I am investigating the DSD1110. I think that it will not work due to the design. At your own risk. Replace network 1 with the W4/7 and the correct frequency’s and test it. The best way to learn is play
Thanks
Ockert, As you wrote in your previous post that you live in SA and your dstv home network is dstv w7/10. I am also in SA and my home network is dstv Is7. I am using a 990 decoder.
Typo somewhere. W7/10 should read DStv PAS7/10
It is the same thing
Pas 7 (DSD1110) = KU Pas7-10 (Technosat) = Is 7 (upgraded DSD1110 and your 990)= Intelsat 7/10.
PAS-7 renamed to Intelsat 7 (IS-7)
PAS-10 renamed to Intelsat 10 (IS-10)
Intelsat 7/10 (IS-7/10) @ 68.5° East.
I hope it is clear.
Thanks.

Most PVR decoders are designed for INTELSAT 7 only and will not work properly when using these instructions.

1. Very dangerous to promote your e-mail address in any blog. There will be no confidential “secret” replies on any request. The query is in public so the public desires to know.
2. The similar motivation that I cannot advise which wife to get married, which car to purchase, I cannot tell which decoder to buy. The best is to bring together all the specifications of the different decoders, who can service or repair it close to your address, which decoder most of your friends have and buy that decoder. (Do not buy the wrong decoder!)
Ockert kindly give me parameters or etv, nta and other related FTAs on DSTV site NTA intl is FTA but couldn’t get it. Let us do this again.
Please check the following blog for all the nice frequencies and information on etv

Bookmark this blog because you will use it again.
Thanks

PLS CAN U HELP ME WATCH SPORTS CHANNELS LIKE CANAL SPORTS +,HI SPORTS,HI SOCCER(ALL ARE CONAX CHANNELS) OR SUPERSPORT 3 ON MY SRT 4669 STRONG DECORDER.I AM IN GHANA.PLS HELP ME
You need a valid subscription to watch those channels.
I need help on how to configure FTA channels on my DSD1131 decoder. i can’t find muvitv africa unite, emmanueltv. please help me with the configuration. i’ll really appreciate
is there any1 who have been able to set those kenyan tv stations on any decoder
Bro, pls. Am stil using SRT 4653X Strong decoder. Abeg, Wat trans. Can get me more channels? I don tire of recharging O!
sorry your decoder can not get the free DSTV channels you will need an srt4669x decoder to get them.However you may not nee to buy another decoder because the signals we get now may only be a test transmission which may not last but if you feel you can afford it after all it is not a waste as it is better than other models in its category costs about #17,000.
Feed back from my friends in Zambia with the same problem as me:
The suggestion is to replace one of my FTA decoders “…is the Strong PVR,FTA+Universal card reader;which I think would compensate for that…”
Jackson T
Again. He has to decide and buy.
I am in Kenya-Coast and would like to receive FTA TV channels which broadcasts EPL (English)and any of the LALIGA, SerieA, Bundesliga. I wan’t to buy an FTA receiver can someone advice which is the best FTA receiver in the market.
Jumbo Tsaweye!! The best FTA receiver is Strong SRT4669X. Its the best on the market and can be updated and even patched to receive some encrypted satellite TV signals.
patched? how? can you explain how this is done
Hello. Patched is an addition to the firmware of the strong decoder that enables the decoder to access the keys of encrypted channels and possibly decode the encryption for free viewing.
You will have to enter the decryption keys via your remote control. Like keying 8280 to access the BISS KEYS of a strong decoder that has been patched.
To know if the decoder is patched key in 6969 6969 on your remote control. Patch on, will be displayed if decoder is patched. Note however that All strong SRT4669x and other selected genuine decoders are patched.
Thanks Spencer. That is how we learn.
It works the same as on the Trechnosat.
The only difference on the Technosat is;
Press the F1 button on your remote.
The decoder’s display displays a “H”
For the PATCH
Enter 000
The PATCH option will be turned on or off if it is patched.
Presently I’m using DSD990,I just want to know what frequencies etc,to use to get some more free stations. At least some very interesting channels that even whenever u subscribe, u’ll still feel like enjoying them. Thanks
The FTA setup instructions somewhere in this blog can be used on the following DSTV decoder models: DSD 110, 660, 910, 990, 1110, 1131.
SABC1, 2 &3 are not FTA on the above mentioned decoders. Olusola wants to know about patch. On the Technosat you have to enable the patch option in the menu to make SABC1..3 available after the KEYS are captured. Find the SABC keys in this blog.
I have deleted all the FTA frequencies on my 1110, Work through it one by one and have found the following;
Freq: 11170 26652 V 5/6
SWC, Kruis, MBC, EZE, CTV, EMMAN, HOPE, LOVE, WRS, ITV, DAY ST, GOD CH, F24
Freq: 11625 15000 V 2/3
BTV
Freq: 11674 26652 V 2/3
SWC, Kruis, MBC, EZE, CTV, EMMAN, HOPE, LOVE, WRS, ITV, DAY ST, GOD CH, F24
Freq: 12562 26657 H 1/2
MADAN, MESSI, PRESS, MUVU, NOVO, SUPRE, ACBN, ABN, KICC, AHLUL
Freq: 12682 26657 H 1/2
HOSAN, BREAK, SWC, KLN, 3ABN, MFM, EDEN, DCLM, CHOSE, OLIVE, OMEGA, CCV, MADAN, MESSI, PRESS, MOVI, NOVN, SUPRE, ACBN, ABN, KICC, AHLUL
Freq: 12722 26657 V 1/2
SWC, Kruis, MBC, EZE, CTV, EMMAN, HOPE, LOVE, WRS, ITV, DAY ST, GOD CH, F24
Freq: 11170, 26654, V 5/6
SWC, Kruis, MBC, EZE, CTV, EMMAN, HOPE, LOVE, WRS, ITV, DAY ST, GOD CH, F24
Do not enter all the FTA frequencies. I have selected three out of the list above and it takes the decoder less time to scan and boot.
Ockert good job all these fta are they on eutelsat W7 or where
It is on Pas 7 (DSD1110) = KU Pas7-10 (Technosat) = Is 7 (upgraded DSD1110 and your 990)= Intelsat 7/10 {the same satellite}
Read this blog for eutelsat W7. I have done one quick experiment on W7. It works fine as describe in this blog.
Please play with the frequencies on W7 and let us know. thanks
u are doing a great work; pls send me parameter setting for Madagascar, sports and other intersting channels. I, m using srong 4663 decoders: Thank you
Is it possible to get a channel showing xxx adult movie unencryted on dstv during the day?a guy told me he watches it on satellite free but he declined to tell me the satellite on which he is receiving the channel.Am suspecting he is watching astra2abd uk because it is on it that most adult materials are broadcast but are encrypted.I would confirm when I got to his house.
I did manual scan on my decoder on BADR 4/6 26.0E Frequency 11843 (V) 27500 and got all the 17 channels I’ve not tried it on other model of Strong decoder but it scanned and showed on my SRT4669x I will do that as soon as return from church in the morning.
I see that you wrote “I did manual scan on my decoder on BADR 4/6 26.0E”
Simple question:”Are you in Africa or where are you?”
I have noticed that this blog is not showing the countries since 16 Nov 2010.
Church… My Excel calculator to calculate the religious holidays are finished. I will discuss it with the author and make it available. I have done in because most of the FTA channels are religious and very interesting.
Did you know that there are about 21 important days around Easter.
Did you know about the role that the moon is playing as well?
Ockert
I can not remember that I did not mention my location I thought I’d done that before now I am in Ibadan Oyo State, Nigeria.
Thanks.
I think Nigeria is covered by the footprint of satellite BADR 4/6 26.0E”. It is covering the northern Africa and not the south. Pity that I can not check your FTA and play with your frequencies. Enjoy playing. Are the other satellite information from this blog usable in Nigeria?

I bought FTA receiver model ECOLINK 3030.Has anyone used it before and what are advantages to other decoders in the market like Strong SRt4669x,Astrovox etc.I am in Coat Kenya.
APART FROM THE GOD CHANNELS I HAVE TRIED ALL THE SETTINGS THAT HAVE BEEN POSTED HERE N ALL THAT COMES ARE THOSE FTA GOD CHANNELS N SOME JET N VODACOM ONES
I found out that the DSTV channels have stopped working this afternoon infact I was watching one of the channels when the signal went off is there anyone around still getting the signal and on which frequency.
If there are serious storms with violent winds in the region where the signal is been transmitted from (earth to the satellite) or activity between the satellite and your dish, there will definitely be an impact your signal strength.
It is possible that you would loose SOME channels transmitted from South Africa due to electric storms. Yesterday afternoon and last night the sky was one massive fire works with lightning from horizon to horizon.
Try again.
Ladies and Gentleman, the DSTV channels are off for now. Lets pray they come back or they test new signals and channels.Multi Choice, please continue testing the DVB4 signal.
so what are we going to do now that DSTV is of? When will it come back on?
Hurray!! the DSTV channels are back again enjoy it while it lasts.
How can i watch these channels i am in zimbabwe using Decorder 1110
Yes you can. I have used mine in Zambia and now in RSA. Find the frequencies and setup somewhere in this blog. The 1110 is more successful than the Technosat sold in Zambia.
Select Public on the 1110 to get access to FTA TV and Radio. Yes radio as well!
As long as the Dish is pointing to Intelsat 7/10 (IS-7/10) @ 68.5° East. Theoretical it should work in all the southern countries.
FTA bad news for the “Afrikaans” people. SATV (Afrikaanse musiek) and KRUISKYK (Afrikaanse kerk)is not anymore available as FTA on Public IS7/10. I have heard over the “Gossip channel” that it has moved to a satellite at 4 – 5 degrees east. I will keep you posted as soon as I have found it. Kruiskyk is a very good religious channel for the Afrikaner.
There are new channels available on Public IS7/10.
I have Echolink EL3030 FTA resciever,can I use it to watch FTA channels with DSTV dish without panning the dish again.
Where are you on this planet and on which satellite is your disk set?
CRTV is back just blind scan ur multi-tv
Bros, is ther’ any frequency we can get premiership sports?.
i live in Abuja, Nigeria and use a strong decoder 4663x and i can connect to a few FTA . i feel there are more and am missing something i have scanned and scanned but it’s just the few ocommon ones that i get . how can i get more channels ?
Please,
Kindly help me connect Emmanuel Tv. I have DSD 990 decoder.
I used the following:
Frequence:12722
Symbol Rate: 26657
Fec: 1/2
Polirisation: Vertical
Use NIT: Yes
Netwok ” was changed to: Other.
Satalitte Name: IS7/10
LNB Mode:Dual Frequency.
I then acceped all the setup and thereafter scanned all network. Yet i still could not get emmanuel tv but other channels such as EZe, KRUIs, etc.
Can you help finally connect to emman tv urgently.
Max
South Africa
Max,
Somewhere in this blog you will find more frequencies for this group of FTA channels. Find it and try a different frequency. What you also can try is to sort your frequencies that this one is the last to be scanned. I have the same problem with Radio Pretoria. Other frequencies are deleting (over writing) Radio Pretoria.
Thanks for your question. Kruiskerk has vanish from FTA. After I have read your question I have changed my settings from Freq: 11170 26652 V 5/6 to Freq: 12722 26657 V 1/2 and kruiskerk is back!

JUNAID KHAN
PAKISTAN
I think that my previous satellite suggestion is not correct. It looks as if it might be possible “Multichoice Africa u can get on INTELSAT 7/10″ as per other blogs. You have to go and see the Multichoice branch and subscribe. It is not FTA.
MY DEAR HERE IS NOT SUBSCRIBER NOT ANY AGENCY
plz only tell me MULTICHOICE AVAILABLE IN PAKISTAN ON WHICH SATILLITE I M WAITING
Multichoice is available only in Africa and does not reach Pakistan.
Confirm. I have Skype a dear RSA friend working in Pakistan. Multichoice is NOT in Pakistan. Friend was here in RSA, tried all the tricks in the Multichoice book and replied back from Pakistan that the latest information is that the footprint has chanced and Pakistan is out.
Thanks for the question. I have learned as well.
Dear Ockert,
i m v. v. thankful to my dear i pray u always

Hello guyz, any info about StarTime?
Hey what is star time?
Hi Spencer,
To me it can be one of the following:
1. The Time Stars take to dress between the acts.
2. The day time on a star.
3. A decoder.
4. Tv Channel, movie.
5. Web page.
6. Share time on a star.
I also do not understand the question from dejavu84.
Spencer, I have opened my internet search engine and search for “StarTime” & “Star time”. I do not know if it has anything to do with our FTA hobby.
StarTimes is a premium terrestrial TV service in Nigeria. It operates like Smart TV and is not available to the public via satellite. I will write extensively about it, soon.
Hello Africa,
I wanna use this little oppurtunity to thank you all for your kindness and support over FTA Channels, you all might think, it was just a research, of course its BUT it was the glory of Almighty God, coz this FTA channels have change and rearrange lot of peoples home and life including myself, mostly when watching my number 1 favourite channel on FTA which was “Emmanuel TV”. God bless you all.
Hi, i’d like to know where should i get the 4A Astra setallite from? I’m in South Africa, at Gauteng province looking forward for your respond. Thanx

The dstv channels have stopped working or is that applicable to me alone and if anyone is still getting the signals let us know how?
Hello. It appears the FTA DSTV channels are gone: regretably for good. Lets pray they come back for a while more.
Kunle, Olusola & Spencer
Here in Centurion South Africa FTA is still on.
I am using IS 7/10 at 68.5 degrees, a 350mm mobile dish and a DSD 1110.
Move to RSA!
Ockert the fta you are talking about is it that of dstv? because I also have multitv and infinity on IS 7/10 at 68.5. please let us know.
Yes, it is on DSTV. It is not part of Multichoice Africa DSTV but it is the same satellite tracksat.com/satellite4.html .At present I am using the same satellite, dish and decoder for Pay and FTA. A while ago I have failed to pay my DSTV in time and Multichoice has disabled my service. FTA was still up and running.
A while ago KRUISKERK has disappeared and after I have selected another FTA frequency, it was back. Find my frequencies somewhere in this blog.
You are welcome. I hope it is the correct answer. If not, rephrase and ask again.
Any joy?
Why can’t i watch live matches wit 2500 (dstv multichoice).pls help
I can’t watch live matches wit 2500 (dstv multichoice).pls help
Startimes is a Technology company that was established in 1988 in China. Pioneer and key player in digital television solution in China and Africa, where they have acquired over 7 million subscribers. They are currently operating in 8 African Countries, Nigeria, Tanzania, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, Guinea, Central African Republic and Burundi.
As big Niyi has said Startimes decoder operates based on the DVB-T (Digital Video Broadcast-Terrestrial) standard which requires no dish. All that is needed is an antenna, to pick up the transmission frequency. If any of you have any info ….plz. share…Dejavu
@ockert, well they got some intresting programm..BET, MTV BASE, SETANTA AFRICA,TRACE TROPICAL,BOLLYWOOD TV,HOLLYWOOD TV,BBC WORLD,CCTV,FRANCE 24,MSNBC, DISCOVERY WORLD, & SOME LOCAL STATION….Not bad I guess…& the monthly subs. is just 1,000k
That sounds good. It shows you. Never too old to learn and I have read a lot about it. Not for RSA yet.
1,000k. are you in Zambia? I will visit Zambia again and have a look.
I am experimenting with new home theater system. I am working on more than 200 channels (if possible. not for now!
Thanks for the information.
@ockert, you guyz deserves more…..200…..????whao that sounds good. i’m not sure that’s available in zambia..dejavu, Nigeria. Its friday, enjoy urself.
Yes more than 200.
You need:
1. a fixed 60cm dish on the KU band Use FTA frequencies of Intelsat 7/10 (IS-7/10) @ 68.5° East.(IS-7/10) @ 68.5° East.
2. a fixed 180cm dish on the C band Use FTA frequencies of Intelsat 7/10 (IS-7/10) @ 68.5° East.(IS-7/10) @ 68.5° East
3. 180 cm Motorized dish
4. Good decoder.(NOT A TECHNOSAT T-888 SILVER)
5. PC with a video grab (TV) card
6. Video recorder
7. DVD player
8. DVD writer
9. Power Cinima software
10 DVD software
11. 4 Monitors. or 1 monitor and three TVs
12 a 90cm fixed dish to some satellite
13. Analogue TV antenna
14. Switches & splitters
15 My setup (wiring diagram)
16 Not a lot of brains
17. And a lot of time to play.
Please wait until I am ready to make all the information available. It will be a FTA project and everyone of us will do something and feed back. The plan is to build a FTA home system.
(You will be a part and included in this hobby)
wait…wait… please. In the mean time you can do the following.
Play with the FTA on different satellites. get answers and questions ready. Take the risk. Learn how to install a dish and start to play. I have been in Zambia (Roma) and there is about no difference between Zambia and RSA.
If You really want to be bombarded with free TV then try using a C band Dish, and one of those cheap chinese Decoders for receiving DVB free.. THere are literally hundreds.. Not much english stuff though, and not much entertainment unless you are from Thailand or India.. I get free Christian TV,ALjazeera..etc Russia today..
What can i do wit RDV to watch free
DIPY, what decoder are you using so that I can help?
Dipy, try the following.
If you have a SRT4653x you need a patch. (own risk and do not blame us)
RDV Key: 00 01 48 49 00 01 48 49
Press 8280 on your remote while on the RDV channel, this will show d BISS key panel/window on your TV screen
Scroll down to Row no. 19=> All oooooooooooooooooo,
just replace the 1st 16 nos
Press exit, YES when prompted to save changes.
1. Music Eutelsat W3A at 7.0°E Africa Key:2B 03 66 00 AC F3 DD 00
2. code for the sirus 4,w3a,astra 2abd,12440 h 23438.
Take note. I do not have the hardware to play with.
Enjoy RDV
Ockert if you have not tried this on any hardware does it worth trying? but if it is not harmful to the decoder I can try it I have one around. Pls give your comment.
I hope that someone with the same decoder as yours, will comment on this. If it was my decoder I would try it because I know how to fix it. Remember that I assuming that you have a SRT4653x and if you read through each question and comment in this blog, you will find information about SRT4653x patches.
If you use the menu options that are made available by the manufacturer, you are not supposed to damage your decoder. It might be possible to damage it by using some patches. (Use a patch on your own risk)
When I visit Zambia again, I will buy me a Strong and try everything on the web.
There must be a factory default setting to be selected in case the new setup fails.
Please report back on your success and what you have done.
Ockert a closer look at this blog showed that you are talking about SRT4653x but the one I have is 4663x any info on patch for this model?. Enjoy your weekend.
Please note:
In case your dish is installed to receive signals from Eutelsat W4 and Eutelsat W7, You have to try the FTA frequencies of Eutelsat W4 and Eutelsat W7. The other satellite frequencies will not work.
A hint for people in Southern Africa.
1. Pay channels users on Multichoice (Africa): Use FTA frequencies of Intelsat 7/10 (IS-7/10) @ 68.5° East.
2. Pay channels users on Top TV: Use FTA frequencies of Astra 4A at 4.8°E
Please, when you ask assistance tell us the following:
1. What decoder you are using. We might not know the answer but we know where to get answers.
2. What satellite you are using.
3. Where you are in Africa.
Questions are welcome.
pls apart from Rdv.is there any code to open ftv channels on strong
Can anyone give me information on srt 4652. And can i use it with hitv and free 2 air. Thanks
Erunz, Please go to strong-technologies.com and enter SRT4652 Conax into the search engine and you will get all the info you want. But note that its MPEG2 and you will not get multi TV and CRTV which are FTA. For HI-TV and DSTV, you will be able to use it.
I dont have any info to share nor any complaints. I want to inform the whole house that i lost my mum last 2 mondays,d burial is schedule for March 18th next month. I shall post d rest details when d I.V is out. Thanks to you all

The FTA setup instructions somewhere in this blog can be used on the following DSTV decoder models: DSD 110, 660, 910, 990, 1110, 1131.
Use FTA frequencies of Intelsat 7/10 (IS-7/10) @ 68.5° East.

Statement: “It appears the FTA DSTV channels are gone.”
It is happening on my DSD 1110+2 decoder after electrical storms, power failures and power surges. I have to re-enter all the frequencies again to get all the channels back.
It is possible that it can happen on DSD 110, 660, 910, 990, 1110, 1131 decoders. Try it please.
d code 4 rdv is

Daniel what is RDV
I have found the following on RDV
1. RDV means Rendez-Vous
2. its a channel which broadcast the English Premier League :
11605 H DVB-S/MPEG-2 1953 5/6 RDV eutelsat w6 @ 21.6E
12437 H DVB-S/MPEG-2 23438 RDV eutelsat w4 @ 36E
3. The European porn channel currently broadcasts every night from midnight to four on 11,785 H in D2MAC. Terminated October 1997.
4. Rendez-Vous was and still is an illegal channel in the UK during 1997
5 I will go for this one:
The Real-time Data Viewer (RDV) provides an interface for
viewing and analyzing live or archived time-synchronized data either locally or streamed across a network from a Data
Turbine server. RDV is capable of displaying textual and
numerical data, still images, and video. The playback rate can be adjusted so data is presented slower or faster than real time to aid in analysis. http://mari.freeshell.org/neesit/RDV-1.5-Admin-Guide.pdf
Hi,

Amit, nobody can watch Supersports free without paying for it.Without supersports, DSTV will be off air and so its their heart string.
