Multi TV: channels, frequencies, and installation guide

Multi TV channels, frequencies and other settings

Multi TV is a free-to-air satellite broadcast service in Ghana. It started a TV revolution in Ghana in July 2009, offering free satellite television to Ghana and over 25 other African countries, most of them in West Africa. Multi TV is operated by the Multimedia Group Limited, a Ghanaian media company founded by Kwasi Twum in 1995, which also runs Joy FM, Adom FM, and several other radio and TV stations.

Multi TV broadcasts from the Astra 2F satellite at 28.2° East. The service is completely free. There are no monthly subscription fees. You only need a satellite dish, a decoder that supports MPEG-4, and a clear line of sight to the satellite.

Multi TV frequency and symbol rate

Multi TV’s primary transponder is 12525 V with a symbol rate of 30000 and FEC 5/6. This carries the main bouquet of TV and radio channels operated by the Multimedia Group under the WAPS (West Africa Platform Services) banner.

A second WAPS transponder at 12605 V carries an additional 30 or more channels, mostly Ghanaian religious and community broadcasters. Both transponders use DVB-S2 with QPSK modulation and MPEG-4/SD video compression.

There are also other broadcasters sharing the same satellite at 28.2° East. The full transponder list is below.

For Multi TV specifically, enter frequency 12525, polarisation Vertical, symbol rate 30000. Your receiver should find all the main channels. Then add 12605 V with the same symbol rate to pick up the rest.

Multi TV channels list

The following channels are active on the two WAPS transponders as of February 2026, based on LyngSat satellite data for Astra 2F. Channel numbers and availability may change after broadcaster adjustments, so a periodic rescan is recommended.

Coverage

Multi TV’s West Africa beam covers much of the continent. The following countries fall within the satellite footprint, though viewers further from the beam centre will need a larger dish for reliable reception.

Multi TV broadcasts from the Astra 2F satellite. Its West Africa beam covers from Senegal to parts of Mozambique and Zimbabwe.
  • Ghana (full coverage)
  • Nigeria
  • Togo
  • Benin
  • Cote d’Ivoire
  • Liberia
  • Sierra Leone
  • Guinea
  • Guinea-Bissau
  • The Gambia
  • Senegal
  • Mali
  • Niger
  • Chad
  • Cameroon
  • Gabon
  • Equatorial Guinea
  • Sao Tome and Principe
  • Central African Republic
  • Democratic Republic of Congo
  • Angola
  • Zambia
  • Zimbabwe
  • Malawi
  • Mozambique
  • Tanzania
  • Kenya
  • Uganda

In Ghana, a 60 cm dish is sufficient for a strong signal. In Nigeria and countries further from the beam centre, a 90 cm dish is recommended. In fringe areas like Kenya, Zambia, and Mozambique, you may need a 120 cm dish or larger.

How to install Multi TV

You need three things: a satellite dish, a universal Ku-band LNB, and an MPEG-4 capable satellite receiver (decoder). Multi TV does not require a proprietary decoder. Any free-to-air receiver that supports DVB-S2 and MPEG-4 will work.

Equipment

  • Satellite dish: 60 cm in Ghana, 90 cm in Nigeria
  • Universal Ku-band LNB (set to 9750/10600)
  • DVB-S2 MPEG-4 satellite receiver with blind scan
  • Coaxial cable and F-type connectors
  • A satellite signal finder is helpful but not essential

Complete dish and decoder kits are sold in Ghana on Jumia and at electronics markets like Kantamanto in Accra. Prices range from GH₵ 630 to GH₵ 700 for a full kit including dish, combo decoder, LNB, remote, and cable. These combo decoders support both DVB-T2 (terrestrial) and DVB-S2 (satellite), are MPEG-4 Full HD 1080p capable, and can store up to 5,000 channels.

Dish alignment

Point your dish towards 28.2° East. In Accra, this is roughly south-southeast at an azimuth of about 195° and an elevation of 45 to 50°. Use your receiver’s signal strength meter or a satellite finder to peak the signal. Tune to 12525 V 30000 to confirm you are on the correct satellite.

Scanning for channels

  1. Go to the installation menu on your receiver
  2. Select Astra 2F at 28.2° East (some receivers list this as Astra 2A/2B/2F)
  3. Enter the transponder: Frequency 12525, Polarisation V, Symbol Rate 30000
  4. Run a blind scan or network search
  5. The receiver should find 30 or more TV channels and 20 radio stations
  6. Add a second transponder at 12605 V 30000 and scan again for the remaining channels

If you have trouble, check that your LNB type is set to Universal and that your coaxial cable connections are tight. Rain fade (temporary signal loss during heavy rain) is normal with Ku-band satellite TV and will clear once the rain passes.

How to re-scan Multi TV for new channels

Channels are added and removed periodically. To pick up new channels without changing any frequency settings:

  1. Press Menu on your remote control
  2. Select Installation
  3. Select Install Satellite and press OK
  4. Press the green button on the remote control
  5. The decoder will scan automatically and find all available channels

This procedure works on the standard Multi TV digibox. On other receivers, look for “Auto Scan” or “Blind Scan” in the installation menu.

How to install Multi TV in Lagos Nigeria

Multi TV is not licensed to operate in Nigeria by the NBC or NCC. Its satellite signal simply happens to cover much of West Africa. You will not find many Multi TV branded decoders on sale in Nigeria, except for a few that individuals bring in from Ghana.

However, you do not need a Multi TV branded decoder. Any 60 cm or 90 cm satellite dish will work. The brand on the dish is just a label. Pair it with any satellite receiver that supports MPEG-4 (most recent Strong receivers qualify). Point the dish at 28.2° East, enter the frequency 12525 V 30000, and scan.

In Lagos, satellite dishes and receivers are widely available at Computer Village in Ikeja and from online retailers. A 90 cm dish is recommended in Nigeria for a more stable signal.

Frequently asked questions

What is the latest Multi TV frequency?

The primary frequency is 12525 V with a symbol rate of 30000 and FEC 5/6 on Astra 2F at 28.2° East. A second transponder at 12605 V 30000 carries additional channels.

How many channels are on Multi TV?

As of February 2026, Multi TV carries over 60 TV channels and 20 radio stations across its two WAPS transponders (12525 V and 12605 V). Additional channels from other broadcasters on the same satellite can be found by scanning the other transponders listed above.

Is Multi TV available in Nigeria?

Yes. Multi TV’s satellite signal covers Nigeria. Use a 90 cm dish pointed at 28.2° East with any MPEG-4 DVB-S2 receiver. The frequencies are the same as in Ghana.

Is UTV available on Multi TV?

United Television (UTV) by the Despite Group is not available on Multi TV. It is available on DStv Channel 360 in Ghana. You can also access UTV for free on the Badr 7, SES 4, and SES 5 satellites.

How do I fix no signal on Multi TV?

Check your dish alignment, make sure the LNB cable is securely connected, and verify that the receiver is set to the correct frequency (12525 V 30000). If the problem started suddenly, it may be rain fade, which clears once the weather improves. If it persists, re-align your dish or have an installer check the LNB.

    Also, some of the chnnels, you can see the pictures but no sound and others too sounds come but no pictures.
    Please help us because the reason why we bought multi tv is to get crtv and we were hoping that, other channels like the one mentioned earlier will be added, but we were just deceived.

      No, my brother. Just get the decoder and connect it. You will have to do a blind scan though, to get the Multi TV channels and other channels on the satellite band/ frequency. Should be around 28 channels with 3 encrypted.

      Hello. from what I know, strong 4663 is Mpeg 2 but should be able to access CRTV. Please try updating your decoder and lets see what happens. Note that CRTV is back after re organizing its operations and could be using improved video codecs as their picture quality have improved drastically.

      SRT4669X_7111_ALL_MyTV_123p_20101224.zip Its a zip file so you need to unzip it and then upload it onto your pen drive.

      After unzipping it, put the resultant software on the pen drive and upload it to your decoder. Make sure there is no power surge or failure during the updating. This is the latest software and was uploaded on Christmas eve.

      Good luck.

      It is only the media hype that makes the EPL and La Liga look as is they are interesting. Watch Bundeliga and enjoy tactical and entertaning football, not the kick-and -football that you see on EPL. I don’t miss it on JOY SPORTS.

    HOW CAN I GET DIS RDV DAT SHOW EPL.THANX

    1. Spencer Churchill Avatar
      Spencer Churchill

      RDV is on Eutelsat W4/7 at 36 degrees East. This is the same satellite that hosts Multi Choice’s DSTV. You will need a FTA decoder preferably a Strong SRT4669X decoder, with the dish set to receive Eutelsat W4/7 satellite signals. After a blind scan you will find RDV as one of the channels.

      How to get RDV.

      Press 8280 on your remote while on the RDV channel, this will show the BISS key panel/window on your TV screen
      Scroll down to Row no. 19 All the numbers on this row are oooooooooooooooooo,

      Just replace the 1st 16 nos with these numbers (RDV Key): 00 01 48 49 00 01 48 49 to unlock the signal.
      Press exit, YES when prompted to save changes.
      Enjoy RDV. I hope this ends the RDV questions on this thread. Please read all the postings to first check for a solution failing which you post the question. Thanks to all.

      Most likely as its on the DSTV band. Just make sure you have an FTA decoder preferably a strong SRT4669X and on Eutelsat W4/7.But note the transmission is in french and may only be good for EPL or sports. It may interest you to note that they showed Italian league yesterday since there were no EPL matches but FA.

      RAPHROYE, it is not possible to do that. The serial numbers do not match and that means you will end up frying your decoder. Buy an SRT4669x and save yourself the heartache.SRT4651x is a discontinued model and MPEG2 unlike the SRT4669x that is MPEG4.
