Infinity TV, a new Direct-To-Home Digital Satellite TV service

31st May 2010 · Updated 3 March 2020

I have been inundated recently with requests about how to add new channels to the Multi TV decoder. The bottomline is, a new service was launched earlier this year on Astra 2B. Astra 2B is the same satellite that beams Multi TV’s signals to West Africa. Since Infinity TV is currently on test transmission phase, their signals are unscrambled and thus Multi TV users with the right settings can enjoy Infinity TV service, for now. This is not restricted to Multi TV subscribers. Anyone within the footprints of Astra 2B’s West Africa beam with an MPEG4-compatible decoder and a satellite dish pointed towards Astra 2B at 28.2°E would be able to receive infinity tv.

infinity tv, a new direct-to-home digital satellite TV service for Nigeria

A press release announcing the service in September 2009 read in part:

Pathfinder Launches Premium DTH Service across Nigeria with SES WORLD SKIES
Uniquely positioned to enable the rapid expansion of television broadcast services across Africa, SES WORLD SKIES, a division of SES S.A., today announced Pathfinder Communications has signed a multi-transponder, multi-year deal to deliver its new Infinity TV package over the ASTRA 2B satellite to homes throughout Nigeria.
Pathfinder has secured two full Ku-band transponders to deliver its premium DTH lineup, which offers 45 channels of movies, music, sports, lifestyle, news and children’s programming.

Since Infinity TV is still in testing transmission phase, the following channels are subject to change:

Click – a cartoon channel targeted at children
Movie Express – a movie channel focused on western genres
Kilonsele – a cultural channel focused on Yoruba language
Springboard – musicals, talk shows, electronic tutorials, comedies, dramas, quizzes etc all aimed at the youth
Infinity Sports – a sports channel
Voxafrica Africa – a Pan-African, bilingual and independent TV channel
LoveWorld Plus – a Christian faith and lifestyle channel
African Movie Channel – a channel focused on movies from Nollywood, Nigeria’s movie industry
Setanta Africa – an international sports channel
Odenigbo – a movies and lifestyle channel in Igbo language

Considering the current phase, do not be disappointed that some of the channels broadcast certain movies in a constant loop.

There is no harm in enjoying the free service while it lasts. If you are currently watching Multi TV channels, simply enter the following parameters to your Multi TV decoder to enjoy Infinity TV:

Frequency: 12543
Symbol rate: 20800
Polarization: Horizontal

Re-scan your Multi TV decoder after entering the parameters.

If you need a detailed help with the steps, read: How to add more TV & Radio channels to your Multi TV decoder. If you are using an MPEG4 decoder that supports blind scan, simply scan your decoder to reveal Infinity TV.

Enjoy the free channels while they last…

  I reckon you meant “what is the best satellite dish”. The branding of a dish doesn’t matter much. The size and quality of the metal dish is more important. Thus, any decent 90 cm dish should serve your purpose if you are tracking a satellite within your reach.

Why david, do you have beef ( problem ) with Crown Royals Tv Network ( CRTV )?
Becouse you never write about them and when asked questions about their service you do nothing.
So please take time and write about the rest of their chennels to see if it is better than Multi tv.

  No Sir, I don’t have a problem with CRTV. To write about them, I would need to invest in their decoder, which I am not ready for at this time. I already own DStv HD and Multi TV. If you can find someone to loan me a CRTV decoder for 1 week, I would write extensively about it.

  8 feet converts to a 2.43m diameter dish. Well, tracking Nilesat from southern Ghana is very challenging. I am not sure if your dish is still big enough. There is no harm in trying though. Good luck.

  Norway is close enough to the North Pole but Northern Norway? Your chances of watching a Nigerian channel are super slim. To the best of my knowledge, a few Nigerian TV channels are beamed on European satellites; especially AIT and NTA. However, its usually satellites beaming at UK mainland that carry Nigerian channels. Your best alternative at this point might just be watching live internet video streams from any of the Nigerian TV channels.

David, what does it mean when a TV channel is scrambled. InfinityTV announced of scrambling their channels. does that mean they would be not free to air again? Already, some of their channels produce only pictures with no sound. Please help me on this
Reply
1. Oluniyi David Ajao
  4th October 2010
  Scrambling means all their channels would be encrypted and you would need to pay to enjoy their service. You might have to buy their decoder and smart card, to be able to continue enjoying the service.
  I suspect they are using an audio format that your satellite receiver cannot decode thus the lack of audio. If you are not ready to pay for their premium service, do yourself a favour and forget about them. That’s the blunt truth. 🙂

Hi. Infinity is gone scrambled. The encryption is like Mytv. They should ask Mytv all the trouble they had with CONAX and rather go for nagra3 which is by far the best.
Its likely they could be compromised soon as Mytv fell victim to hackers at certain periods.Infinity should have understudied them. Are they listening?

  Infinity TV is going premium very soon. They would scramble the channels and you would need to buy their decoder and pay subscription fees to continue viewing their channels. You might want to look beyond Infinity at this point, if you are focused on free TV.
