Why is CRTV (Ghana) off-air?

Oluniyi D. Ajao

CRTV Ghana

Crown Royals TV (CRTV) broadcasts its programmes from the Astra 2B satellite to Ghana and the rest of West Africa, until a few weeks ago.

Reasons for CRTV going off-air are not clear at this time. Its possible they have left Astra 2B to whichever satellite is hosting their “50 channels”. They have been advertising a new service with 50 TV channels on Ghanaian radio for some time now. I would share the parameters to that new satellite as soon as I have it, if that turned out to be the case.

Its also possible that CRTV is off-air due to technical problems. Their broadcast was not one of the best in terms of visual clarity, when they were on-air.

Worst still, its possible CRTV has become insolvent. If this were the case, a lot of people who enjoyed their entertainment programmes would highly disappointed.

To those asking me about CRTV
Now that you know CRTV is actually off-air, don’t break your satellite receiver looking for CRTV – you won’t find it in there! :-). Also, note that Multi TV is not responsible for CRTV. They only happen to be co-tenants on the Astra 2B satellite.

I would share new information about CRTV as soon as I have it.

      Multi TV and DStv are on different satellites. Are you using two satellites dishes? I suggest you get an installer to inspect and advise you.

      KILU, There is something that prevents the SRT4558X from fully showing all subscribed DSTV channels. I have same problem so I use my old SRT4622X for the DSTV card. I am investigating and will come out when I am done and what patch can resolve the problem.

      But I suspect that DSTV updates their decoders periodically and those cards in other decoders are not able to read the updated software that tallies with their new video codecs.

      Put your card in an unmarried DSTV decoder and it will update the card and enable you to watch your subscribed channels.

    Kilu, good you can now redeem what you paid for. Well on the HD channels the secret is that you need an HD decoder to watch HD channels. Similarly the HD cables are different from the normal one and the LNB is also different as well. Get an HD decoder and a 42 inch Sony Bravia plasma TV if you want to enjoy DSTV in HD.

    Hi Spencer, you didnot reply my comment. Anyway the multi tv digibox that i use has a smart card slot. Can i use any random card 4 that??

      Are you sure its a real smart card slot? Multi TV digiboxes don’t need a card slot because their service is not based on subscription fees. Mine has what looks like a card slot, but is actually hollow/empty.
      Your best choice for enjoying satellite TV is an open receiver like Strong SRT 4669x.
