Could someone confirm if the Gotv set top box can actually get signet without having to buy any extra hardware

How I wish one of you @skunk me and @BrainiacKE could find the time to put together a detailed DIY manual, it would be the best new year present ever!

Or maybe I should Google first

Hi Joseph,

Can one do a manual scan on Gotv/Startime decoder? IF YOU CAN, then you should be able to get signet channels (around 5** Mhz).

Hey Skunks,
Lets be honest, with a GoTV/StarTimes decoder, the only FTA (currently in Kenya) is KBC TV. I have never understood why all the local channels that make profit through commercials aren't yet classified as FTA. That's a huge rip-off!

I did a small comparison on the FTAs from the 5 African Countries that GoTV support (My interest lies solemnly on FTA channels)
Here's what I found out (from the GoTV website):

NIGERIA
NTA+ (FTA), Silverbird (FTA), AIT (FTA), Channels (FTA), MiTV (FTA), Lagos TV (FTA)

KENYA
KBCTV (FTA) 

NAMIBIA
ZNBC (FTA)

UGANDA (FTA)
Uganda Broadcasting Corporation (FTA)

ZAMBIA
ZNBC (FTA)

With the above analysis, only Nigeria enjoys more than 5 FTA channels, which means the rest of the countries that have GoTV are stuck with their National Channels if one fails to pay for the monthly subscription. I'M NOT A TV FAN, OR EVEN HAVE AN UNDERSTAND ON HOW CHANNELS ARE CLASSIFIED AS FTAs, but I thought all local channels that make a penny through ads should be FTAs.

Your thoughts folks?

Regards,
Joseph.
