e.Tv is one of the truly world-class TV channels on the African continent today, airing compelling soap-operas, blockbuster movies and much more. e.Tv has since evolved from a single free-to-air TV station in South Africa, to a pan-African network of channels with even a spin-off dedicated news service called eNews channel.

From tomorrow 14th December 2010 at 12:00hrs GMT, its pan-African service e.tv africa would be available on DStv.

The description currently appearing on DStv channel 144 reads:

e.TV Africa provides popular programming including Hollywood movies and series. The channel also includes news bulletins from eNews Africa service. Launches on 14 December 2010 at 14:00 CAT.

    Just to advise you that i am e-mailing you from Zimbabwe were we started watching E-TV AFRICA from 2pm Zimbabwean time yesterday we quiet impressed about this developmenta save to say we were being starved of real entertainment on DSTV, yes we enjoy watching AMagic but at times viewers need a variety of programes.

    But want i wanted to find out from you is are we going to be watching football on this channel 144 eg UEFA Champions league, FA England league. We are currently recieving the signal very clear and we hope to get more entertainment on the channel now we very happy when you go and subscribe you know there is a reason to pay your account it is great news really especially for ZIMBABWEANS.

    Thank you have a great day

  7. please do me a favour,go to channel 144 (etv) press menu then advanced options,then signal detection then give me the frequency, the symbol rate the fec and the polarisation please

    • Do us a favour and reboot your decoder. It appears to me that you are not a DStv subscriber. If you are, you don’t need to enter any frequencies manually. Just reboot and tune to channel 144. e.TV Africa would appear on your screen.
      If you are not a DStv subscriber, entering DStv frequencies would not help you as their broadcast is encrypted.

      • DStv has 5 packages that range in price range. Access Approx $10 / month. Family Approx $20 / month. Compact Approx $25/month, Compact Plus (which now has SS3, SS9 and SS10 added to the Compact package) approx $50 / month, and Premium Approx $70 / month. ALL their packages have ETV Africa. If you dig your Soccer – Compact Plus is the better option to go for. Happy day.

  10. pls u have not given me concise anwer 2 my request.my request is,how can i inpute 36degree E eutelsat w7 on my strong srt 4669x and the frquency ,sym-rate,to enable me watch free Dstv stations on my strong.pls the breakdown on how 2 carry out the prcess.thanks .frm 9JA.

  19. The E channel on Dstv is not as loaded and interesting as the one on the free – 2 air dish. No programme guide, no movie info, no adverts, once you are not lucky to be in front of your Tv screen when a movie is playing, you might no be able to get to know the title of such movie again. and when you are watching a particular programme, you don’t know what to expect next, the info bar does not say anything except Etv Africa very boring

  20. Please. DStv. We beg you. Add channel 210 in N4, 500 subscription. Because, sport channels that are on N2, 500 subscription and N4, 500 subscription are the same. Please, just add Supersport 10 to N4, 500 subscription just to make a difference between them. The amount been charged for watching sport channels seems to be costly.

  21. i’m in nigeria n my dad pays 4 d premium bouquet bt wen we go 2 channel 144 it keeps saying”searching 4 signal.wat should we do?
