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.

Transponder list for Multi TV and Astra 2F at 28.2° East

SES11675Horizontal30000Additional free-to-air channels
Play TV12565Horizontal30000Nigerian. Premium service with 2 free-to-view channels

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.

Someone tried it but when decoder is switched off and back on, the signal strength goes to 17 and quality goes to 0. After this, even if it’s re-scanned nothing comes. How do I set it such that when it’s switched on after putting it off the channels will still be active?

    Do you sometimes feel that you would like to watch ITV channels being broadcast to other areas of the UK?

    Fed up with Gaelic programs and can’t follow the subtitles?
    Want to check the local news in Yorkshire, Northern Ireland, or elsewhere.
    Get the local Sport and other programmes?
    Occasionally see ‘Corrie’ at a different time?
    IF YOU FIND ERRORS or wish to advise changes to the contents of this page please send email..

    Updated on date at foot of page.

    You need a digital satellite system which uses a SKY Digibox you can probably add many extra ITV channels. It depends what you equipment you have and I cannot guarantee it will work for you. If you already pay a SKY subscription then it should work. Originally I paid a SKY subscription but now I have an old Sky Free-to-view Card (NOT Freeview!) from the time when such was available. Since the BBC no longer required this card to be used to access their channels the card has ceased to be officially used but mine is still in the box. I suspect it still must contain some regional information as SKY EPG channels 101 and 102 are BBC-TV 1 and BBC-TV 2 respectively. Without any card all BBC 1 – 2 channels are from EPG 941 onwards. You likely already know that all these can be viewed with no card or the process described below.

    Sky now provide ‘FREESAT’ which is either all the kit AND viewing card (around £170.00), or if you have the kit only £20.00 for the card. Nearly all the channels available with the card are already available FTA but the EPG operates properly.

    ALL BBC Channels for ALL regions are available to Digibox users with no payment or extra equipment.

    Sometimes the local ITV-1 station appears as EPG 103, but most times it does not. In such cases the procedure detailed below provides access to these all ITV 1 regional variation channels.

    Other ITV channels and C4. etc may appear in the EPG but are encrypted.

    Have a look at Satellite TV Magazines you can “ADD EXTRA CHANNELS” to view with your SKY Digibox using settings you can find there, but very limited – sport and music is the same in any language :^)

    You may still be able to see some channels, the unnamed ones.)

    Here’s how – it’s easy!

    Use your SKY remote control, pointing it at your Digibox, to carry out the following stages.

    1. Press the green SERVICES button

    2. Press the number 4 button (SYSTEM SETUP)

    3. Press the number 4 button again (ADD CHANNELS)

    5. You will see a grid something like this with the default entries as shown-

    Frequency (GHz) 11.778
    Polarisation V
    Symbol Rate (Mbaud) 27.5
    FEC 2/3
    Find Channels
    6. For the free extra channels available you need to enter the appropriate numbers or change the entries as shown in the grid above.

    The top line will already be highlighted in yellow, simply type the numbers (as below) on your remote keypad (ignore the point).

    Use the green down-arrow to move to the next line – now move either L or R green arrow to change V to H.

    Move down to next line and use the L or R green arrow to change 27.5 to 22.0

    Again, move down and use the L or R green arrow to change FEC from 2/3 to 5/6

    Move down to the next line ‘Find Channels’, press your SELECT button and wait a few moments.

    7. A list of available channels will be displayed and you simply follow the onscreen instructions – press the yellow key, move down, yellow key again, move down, etc. until all the channels (you will recognise at least some of the names) are marked with a ‘tick’.

    Now press your SELECT button to save the channels.

    Frequency (GHz) 10.832
    Polarisation H
    Symbol Rate (Mbaud) 22.0
    FEC 5/6
    Find Channels
    8a. At THIS STAGE repeat items 6 and 7 again for the following Frequency.

    Frequency (GHz) 10.891
    Polarisation H
    Symbol Rate (Mbaud) 22.0
    FEC 5/6
    Find Channels
    8b. Again, repeat items 6 and 7 again BUT you will need to change the Frequency AND the Polarity to V for the following.

    Frequency (GHz) 10.906
    Polarisation V
    Symbol Rate (Mbaud) 22.0
    FEC 5/6
    Find Channels
    8c. and yet again, repeat items 6 and 7 again BUT change the Frequency AND the Polarity.

    (Detail kindly supplied by Alan in February 2006.)

    Frequency (GHz) 10.722
    Polarisation H
    Symbol Rate (Mbaud) 22.0
    FEC 5/6
    Find Channels

    Frequency (GHz) 10.758
    Polarisation V
    Symbol Rate (Mbaud) 22.0
    FEC 5/6
    Find Channels
    Follow onscreen instructions to exit. (The default settings will appear if you start the process again from scratch.)

    To gain access to these channels –

    1. Press the green SERVICES button

    2. Press the number 6 button (Other Channels)

    Scroll through the available list and SELECT the channel you wish.

    It is also possible to add more channels if you select the data from the satellite operators websites – Hotbird and Astra at about 22 degrees East.

    These are likely to be Polish TV and Radio channels..
