There's a high band and a low band. PVR only receives one of the two, I think it's low, but then it could be high
Many of the public bouquets are on the band the pvr can't receive - go search dstv.com pvr forum.

As allways, phoned ICASA and all I get is "Bruce Mkhize is currently un-avaliable, please leave a message"
And I get the same sh** from No-Choice.
ARGH!!! this is all FUD!

lol i like the name of NoChoice. quite funny
No, it can be DVB as long as it ONLY DVB and no other encryption. Your decoder can decode a simple DVB signal.albert123 said:
You'll only be able to pickup the stuff beamed to the southern part of africa with your normal dish I'm afraid- the stuff towards the bottom of that list.

@RPM and others
Could someone that has got a fast link in to ICASA pls get how they justify that statement of "using their (Multichoice) Equipment" and who is the owner of the Satellite decoder in the home.
I am getting knocked from pillar to post...

Hmm,
“strange” according to ICASA……
Illegal according to NoChoice…
They would have us believe that.
It works a bit like this:
Most of those God channels are broadcast from USA and Europe.
They rent transponder space on the PAS 7/10 orbiting over Africa, don't encrypt it and offer it for free and any decoder can pick it up.
BTV the same thing transmitting from Botswana.
This is the beauty of Satellite.
ICASA and SABC and most especially NoChoice do not like this very much at all, but they say “not your satellite, we paying for space, not illegal in our country, not under SA jurisdiction, so up yours baby, we transmit what we like and there’s sweet ****-all you can do about it.”
Etv was not so lucky when they were renting their own space and also broadcasting for free.
SABC cried foul and went running to ICASA who told them to stop transmission or encrypt the signal. Afterall, why advertise on SABC tv to South Africa when Etv would be showing your commercials to the entire continent!
Aah well, so much for “Be Free with E”, but they tried at least but had to abide by SA laws I guess.

Maybe it's worth plugging it in again then hey?
How easy is it to get these "programmed"? (i.e. is it just some tuning and then "search" while it populates the found channels on your decoder?
AmaDownload said:
well mine has been lying in the cupboard also for 2 years now. gonna try get at least one channel tonight. from what i can find out after a whole day on google, yep you can get most of those, however you need to tune into each of them that has dif frequencies it seems. but i will start with one and see if it works first...
AT first glance that looks like a few too many.AmaDownload said:
But then again I'm down in Cape Town with a very small dish.
Do a search and see if you can find any sites showing the footprint from the Pas7/10 over africa. (And only the footprint of the beam pointing towards sub sarahan Africa at that)
AmaDownload said:
Yep, pretty much.
Add the frequency settings and run a rescan all networks each time.
Add Btv first as that works easily.
Found it.
Regarding entering 4 digit sybol rates, follow this thread and it's preceeding pages. Those frequencies all work for sure.

I remember I had a lot of trouble, even entering the 0.
You just have to keep trying till the stupid machine saves it.
It does eventually, but is really really frustrating.

The Fashion Tv, mana, Novacom and the others seem right.
They are all mostly crap but I enjoy the free BBC on Btv.
