FTA satellites in South Africa for Free TV (C Band)
The next level of free TV is definitely C band satellite, many people move on from KU band FTA once they have gotten a taste for free television. This table is a List of C Band beams covering South Africa. The idea is to help people who are trying to find C-band FTA streams in South Africa get started. Given the amount of C band beams covering this tiny planet this list aims only to cover the common beams however it has the most popular FTA satellites covering South Africa and most are visible with a 3metre dish depending on your location.
At the time of compiling this list there are roughly 200 free channels in South Africa available on C band, as with KU band you can motorize your c band dish with a actuator. This is a very popular often for seekers of free TV since having one BUD (big ugly dish) on your roof is already pretty depressing to those who value their homes not resembling NASA.
Once again you should contact your local installer to enquire about your equipment options and C band compatible FTA decoders. The setup costs are generally higher than KU Band options but you will have access to about 3 times as many free TV stations and the cost will still be about the same as 2 years of Pay TV in South Africa.
Disclaimer: Free TV implies no subscription, you will still have equipment costs also FTA channels come and go without warning.
