If you know how to change the default setting on DStv, you will get a lot of free channels at no extra cost to your subscription. Due to several requests from our users in the comments section, we’ll be sharing the DStv frequencies for several channels including Prophetic channel, Dunamis TV, Dove TV, Celebration TV, and more.
If you are making changes for the first time, we have created two helpful articles that will help you with that. See the articles below for a step by step guide on how to set up free channels on DStv:
Voice of One used to be on Intelsat 20 at 12522 Horizontal. But it’s no longer there. It has been moved to another satellite. You’ll need to connect to Astra4A or Belintersat 1.
Greetings, Ekemini Robert! am in need of FTA DSTV and don’t know if the star life, Channel O, MNet and Super Sports channels are possible cause just managed to get Gospel channels only. It’s a DVB-S.
Hello, Batho! You could get Star Life. But the rest of the channels listed here are premium channels, not FTA, as such, you cannot get them using FTA frequencies.
Is it possible to watch all channels on different customized networks? Because when I search channels on a particular network for example network 3, immediately I try to search for network 4 those on 3 disappear.
From what I’m seeing, it seems those channels take up different channel numbers when you make the additional search with Network 4.
I recommend that instead of making a search for each network, you set up all the parameters for the different networks first (from network 1 to 5 as shown), then use the Scan All option to search for all channels at once.
It also looks like you may be confusing the channels from Network 3 with those from Network 4. Don’t forget that if you change a frequency for any network the FTA channels stored for that particular Network will be replaced.
Hey, you are a genius Mr.
It’s my first time visiting here but I will surely try these settings and get back to you.
My question is: do these settings work?
Yes, Prince. I checked and it appears you are using the IS20 satellite. We have made an article for that. Please, follow our instructions on how to set up free channels for IS20 satellites. Thank you.
Yeah, Vuyani, those channels are not completely FTA as we think they are. It’s hard to get them without going through some recognized source. What’s your location?
