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. 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.
