This will come in handy for all satellite installers. You might even write this on a notepad on your phone and save it for reference. As a satellite installer, it is almost impossible that you can memorize all Transponders for all satellite tv receivable in your region. Today’s post shall be divided into two parts. The first section shall focus on popular satellite tv receivable in Africa(both free and encrypted). The second part will be on all free-to-air satellite tv receivable in Africa, and the coverage shall be all 50 African countries. In this article, I shall share satellite tv receivable in Africa with their tracking parameters such as Frequency, Symbol rates, position, and Dish size. As a reminder, special reference shall be made to Nigeria. Happy reading
