Many people ask me this, and an older entry gets a lot of hits because of this. So here are the step-by-step instructions for adding some public broadcast Ku-band satellite channels to your DStv decoder. Don't expect much - most of these are religious channels.
Try this at your own risk. It's your decoder, not mine. Etc, etc, etc.
Press Menu.
Select 'Advanced Options'.
Select 'Dish Installation'.
Enter PIN: 9949
Select 'Network Configuration'.
Select 'Network 2 Setup' (this is for Sentech's Vivid bouquet)
1. Signal Setup: Enabled
2. Orbital Position: PAS7/10
3. Use NIT: Yes
4. Frequency: 11170
5. Symbol Rate: 26652
6. Polarisation: Vertical
7: FEC: 5/6
Then select 'Accept these settings'
Select 'Network 3 Setup' (this is for Botswana TV)
1. Signal Setup: Enabled
2. Orbital Position: PAS7/10
3. Use NIT: Yes
4. Frequency: 11625
5. Symbol Rate: 15000
6. Polarisation: Vertical
7: FEC: 3/4
Select 'Accept these settings'.
Now do a 'Scan new networks' or 'Full rescan'.
The new channels will be at the very end of the channel list of the 'Public PAS7/10'. Switch to the audio on the bouquet to get the new audio channels as well.
