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. * *
