Free to Air DSTV settings

[BCR]

Hi , I've entered all the settings in my dsd1110 but when I go to "Scan all networks" it says "orbital position is7/10 not enabled in lnb"
Please advise

Finally I've managed to get France 24 !
(It's within the Network 2 settings, for anyone else who's interested in not putting in the settings for all 8 Networks, as most of the channels IMO are junk).

Thanks for reposting, Ivan, though in ref. to tRoN's query above, I think what may be throwing people out on this (certainly did me), is the use in posts on the first 2 pages ofPublic is7/10 bouquet or simply PAS.

Once I realised that after selecting Dish Installation & the code, it's important (on the DSD1131 decoder) to select DStv IS 7, and not ''DStv IS 10'' which (these days) are 2 different options - they are not combined (IS7/10) as they might've been in the past.

Will this work on the DSD1110?

I really just want 5fm

I think it was mentioned on pg. 1 in one of the posts that these settings are available for the 1110.
The main issue seems to be that for the time being, single-view decoders are the ones that can handle additional Networks, but not the more expensive ones.
I'd suggest you do one network at a time 'til you find 5fm included.

To access the radio channels, simply select the "music note" on your remote (while still on Public PAS7/10 bouquet) and select which channel you would like to listen.

Correction: should read as : ''Public IS7/10''

5fm is Channel 48 in the radio channels, within Network 2 settings.

Seems that DSTV have renamed their satellite identifiers again since I posted the original Free to Air settings in June last year - as per BayCityRoller's posting above - it has now been changed to "Public IS7/10" for the Free to Air Channels - apologies for any confusion this may have caused.

Hi Ivan Leon, many thanks for your FTA posts, reprogrammed SDPVR and now have these additional channels plus radio. Thank you

You cannot get those channelz on fta. Its blocked by dstv. You have to pay that R20 per month for dsrv easy view,

It seems the new dstv software update disables the free to air channels viewing on the standard non-pvr decoder. My wife noticed the info bar looks different this morning and the "Public IS7/10" option disappeared. I tried to do a rescan all network, but still nothing.

Can i use a dsd 1110 on any orbit?

Hi i've got a dsd 1110 decoder with the standard fibre dish, im in cape town South Africa, been picking up all listed tv channels, can i reajust my dish to 34'W or 102'E and picku available FTA channels, using a multi choice smart card, or does MC block any streaming from other orbits,.?

Both France24 and BTV have disappeared. I couldn't be bothered with fta on multichoice anymore now.
