      • Shelter Amrago said and l quote I think the introduction of SMART TV to we Ghanaians is welcome news.The question is how of can afford the monthly bill for that of Dstv.I would be glad if more epl matches will be showed.yes more live matches and even record matches which are pplayed earlier.Now when its come to sound l will ask to look at Kiss (music) the sound quarlity is very bad cos the kind of Sony TV(WEGA)28″ so pls check the sound quarlity.You are doing very well thanks

        Eben also says the same thing about sound Eben says:

        Smart tv u have a lot of problem with your sound, poor sound & too low

      • I think the introduction of SMART TV to we Ghanaians is welcome news.The question is how of can afford the monthly bill for that of Dstv.I would be glad if more epl matches will be showed.

        • I think the introduction of SMART TV TO we the Ghanaians is a wellcome news.The question is how many of can afford the monthly bill for that of DStv.I suggest more of epl matches should be showed.

  1. i am an agent to multi tv, skyy digital, strong and dstv. what are the requirements to register as a dealer or agent and what is the agent price for one.

  2. Why not making it free monthly subscription after you have acquired the bouquet like Multi TV Ghana. I wonder if they will really make profit…

  3. smart tv is a stitch too late. currently l have 17 active channels on my strong srt4669x reciever tracking multi tv and 8 test transmission channels from infinity. use astra 2abd satelite at 28.2e. smart should have been free. do they think they are wiser than the guys at multi tv?

    • well Darlington i think i should answer dis Q. for Oluniyi, multi tv is free yes but what abt their services… so poor, quality 5% u knw why?? cus they hve a huge network problem to which no one is complaining why cus its a cheap offer they are offering us so u can’t complain. u hve to pay for quality service so they always come in handy.

  4. YOU HAVE TO BE ENLIGHTENED. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PAY TV AND FREE TO AIR CHANNELS.

    SMART TV LIKE DSTV, THE DEFUNCT GBS AND SKYY DIGITAL ARE PAY TV BECAUSE THE SHOW PREMIUM CHANNELS WHICH ARE PAID TO BE RECIEVED.

    MULTI TV IS PURELY FREE CHANNEL TV WHICH ARE ABSOLUTLY FREE.

    THE CHOICE IS YOURS CHOOSE WHAT YOU CAN OFFORD.

  5. COMPARISM SHOULD NEVER BE MADE BETWEEN MULTI TV AND SMART TV. MULTI TV SOLEY OPERATE ON RECORDED PROGRAMS WHILES SMART TV HAS LIVE PROGRAMS FOR ITS CHERISHED CUSTOMERS BUT ANYWAY, THEY ALL HAVE THEIR TARGET MARKETS. YOU MAKE A WISE CHOICE.

  6. Darlington, can you pls give me the infinity settings i mean the symbol rate frequency and polarization. Thanks. I am using multi tv decoder.

  7. Pls david apart from crtv, gtv and ltm can i still recieve other free to air channels. I am using multi tv box. Thanks i am in accra and not norway

  8. Partnering with Fox Entertainment and ShowTime is no ordinary achievement at all.In fact this even offers more entertainment value than DsTv’s series and movies and I foresee a lot of their compact,family,blah,blah,
    blah,customers going in for these “Smart guys”.

  9. My name is tony woode and i am nurse and i need a part time job at smart tv kumasi. my contacts are 0266319370, 0245645701. hoping to hearing from you. thanks

  10. How can I subscribe my smart tv card? Because I have started experiencing the good pictures and clear sound but some channel cannot be open to view due invalid or unactivated card.Thank you.

  11. i live in asawasi in ksi. i hv a total of 28 channels on my smart tv. 6 free ghanaian stations, 8 no picture channels and 6 card needed channels. meanwhile my card is correctly inserted into the slot but yet the msg is “this channel is coded and needs a card”.
    wow, 6 + 8 + 6 = 20(uncalled for channels)
    28 – 20 = 8(only channels left)
    out of the 8 remaining channels i hv, 3 which keep hibernating which leaves me very few as options. i tot i was subscribing for more channel tv. i need help urgently.

    • for now their pay channels are free. they coding the pay channels, for the problem you have “this channel is code and needs a card” is because you haven’t paying for the subcribe channels. after finish with their coding and you starting paying your monthly fees you will recieves your pay channels back but for the free channels you will recieve them whether you pay or not because it is free.

    • I have bought smart tv but am not receiving any programme or any feed so now do I have discard smart tv or what. am in kumasi

  14. i have bought smart tv but can’t access the foriegn channels why?is a fluke.better do something now,because my friends also need one.

  15. I bought a decoder of Smart Tv a few weeks ago and my wife is always fighting with me because to her I have thrown my money away. The reason why my wife is saying this is that Smart Tv has nothing to offer except the old free on air TV stations. Even they cannot produce their own advertised TV stations. I think Government will have to check the inflow such stations.

  16. Smart TV is a disgrace to the Ghanaian Corporate Community. They lied to me to buy one of their receivers promising 18 channels. Better customer service. Poor me, only the local channels, even with that, Metro TV does not come. What is the problem. I think is good you treat your customers very well. I petty myself for not buying Multi TV. I was told 7weeks ago that the rest of the channels will be coming this week. In fact this is the 8th Week.

    If you are the BOSS of SMART TV then I am sorry you are not doing a good work.

    • Paul,

      Please take it easy. Smart TV is not useless as you think. Every organisation has issues in different forms. You can still use your decoder for viewing GTV, TV3, TV Africa, Net2. Digital Terrestrial TV is the future for all, no options

      • Akosua Aboagye we know that by the year 2015 all tv station in the country will be transmit in digital but for smart tv we bought it to watch the pay channels not the local channels. it is petty to go for a product which at the end of the day it wasn’t able to satisfy your need(the reason why you the product). I think this guys are not serious in business.
        Akosua how come for almost a month this guys are not able solve the so called technical problem. I think NCA have to do same it about it.

        • Yaw, the channels are on. If you don’t see them, rescan or re-search the pay channels. I have my channels now.

  17. Why are the authorities of Smart TV not saying anything? They should tell us exactly what is happening.
    Has smart tv become a white elephant like GLO Telecom in Ghana/

  18. setanta africa shows live japan league,scottish premier league,major soccer league(usa) and eredevisie(dutch league).

  19. DEAR VALUED CUSTOMERS,

    I really appreciate your support and continuous patronage of SMART TV.

    • I’m currently at Accra, i should be back @ ksi on the 4th of August. Are you guys sure these channels (SHOWTIME, HINOLLY, KIDSCO, FOX ENTERTAINMENT, GOD TV, BBC, SETANTA SPORTS etc.) are up and running?. if its true then indeed i will bring my smart decoder from under my bed and set it up once again

    • PLZ, I WANT TO INQUIRE WHETHER SMART TV IS A PAY TV? IF SO WHY THE NUMEROUS PROBLEMS AS SAID BY OTHER COMMENTS THAT I READ ABOUT THE RECEPTIONS COZ I WANT TO BUY ONE BUT THE PROBLEMS I READ ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE IS SCARING ME. MY INTEREST IS PRIMARILY ON THE EPL MATCHES…HOW MANY OF THAT MATCHES DO YOU AIR? AM AROUND MATAHEKO, WHERE CAN I GET ONE SHOULD I BE CONVINCED THAT IT IS THE RIGHT CHOICE?

  21. Talkin’ about satellite Tv? Can anyone tell me how to recive the channels advertize by crtv? Is the channels free or do I have to pay monthly subcription.
    Richard
    Freetown Sierra Leone

  22. Please give us the settings of SMART and CRTV for us to analyze. We love satellite technology. Noting illegal encouraged.

  23. How many premiership matches does smart tv show in a week? Or is it only promotional matches, i want to know, besause i can’t stand watching a single match in a week whiles even its not my favourite team playing. thank you.

  24. How many live european matches will smart tv show in week? and how can I get access to pay per view channels on my smart tv card. please answer for i can”t wait to watch sport24 channel on my smart tv.

  25. Its more like HITV to me, Because they weren’t given anything in Nigeria and the only way to survive without letting DSTV to know is doing it in a different place. I bet you guys; that shit won’t last!

  26. it’s quite decietful how Gtv made us believe they will show more EPl matches when infact they show only a match a week. I bought a box only yesturday nd am already regreting it. Is there any hope?

  27. Multi TV promised us they were going to show the English Premier League but they did not. at least they have one EPL mactch a week and this weekend they showed all the Italian Serie A matches. they also showed the Belgian league, Scotish League and others. to me it is still much better than Multi. I also love their musical channel Kiss and the movie channel Silver.

  28. I agree perfectly with you, Kofi. i have both Multi TV and Smart TV. Now i dont even watch my Multi TV again, it is so boring. As i speak i Star, the gossip channel on Smart TV. When my kids return from school they are always glued to Kidsco. Smart is a much better option.

  29. So far so good. The pictures and sound are very clear. Thanks.

    I have 2 suggestions to make.
    Can you alternate Al jazeera and CNN or SKY News on the news channel?
    Also can you do the same with GOD TV by showing TBN?

  30. Please am a suscriber and am not happy with the Ghanian movies you show on homebase. they are all 2 and 3 years back movies kindly give us latest movies.

  31. so how many channels altogether are on Smart TV with Gtv Sports plus and ACN inclusive. And is the setanta sports different with the one we have with the analogue?

  32. i have the oppotunity to receive digital channels on my digital tv without multi – tv decoder but i can only watch two channels (BBC and GOD TV) i cannot even watch any of the local channels. i’d like to know why that is so ? i am a resident of kumasi

    • It appears Smart TV is broadcasting BBC World and GOD TV, unenecrypted and that explains why flat-screen TVs with in-built DVB-T tuners can receive these two channels. It has nothing to do with Multi TV.

      You would need to subscribe to Smart TV, to receive the other channels from them.

      Also, there is no reason for you not to receive the regular free-to-air Ghanaian TV channels.

      • Hi David:
        I just bought a dvb-t digital tv usb dongle from a friend and installed it on my pc at home. I scanned and had 18 channels but some are scrambled. The channels seems to be from smart tv. I know sky is also digital tv and am asking how can I get sky channels in my area. I will be grateful is anybody can help me

  33. Please, I am in saltpond and would want to know exactly when you will be coming to our town with your services.

    Please come soon because tv thesedays is not interesting.

  34. thanx i meant smart tv instead of multi tv. I dnt know why i cant watch the free to air local channels of my DVB enabled tv i onli get BBC and GOD tv

  35. anytime i put my smart tv on, the message i get is ‘hardware error’ but if i do reinstall it comes back to normal. i’ve regretted buying smart tv. pls explain.

  36. Hello i am Davis from Ghana and in the Ashanti region.I do not love the type of matches you telecast on the spots channel and also can you prove to us that u are real because u do not telecast all the epl matches and also u telecast it from Gtv and much people do not want what u show on sports channel.

  37. can someone really classify this issue for me? is smart tv a pay tv service or free to air digital service? i asked this because ghanasoccernet says its a pay tv service and another time too i hear its a free to air digital service. i need the answer before i make a move. thank u

    • am in ghana not in UK. why is it that smart tv have only 2 sports channels (gtv sports+ & setanta) and is not showing Spanish league & German league.
      pls extend your sports channels else we will opt for dstv.

      My decoder was tested at smart tv office at airport west near former presidents kuffour’s residence and had 48 channels but i came home and realised only 18 channels. why?

  38. pls let us know which month will this subscription start & is this up to a certain period month that we’re not paying anymore ?

  39. Why is it that Nigeqian NTA,AIT,SILVERBIRD. nd the rest of them are on scrambled,2 all position they maybe found, is it over seriousness, wickedness or greed? tell me if there’s anyway 2 get Nigeqian Newscast fta. Again where in Ghana can I get the best training in computer science, engineering,Internate, all about computer. plz am looking 4wrd2 hear 4rm u.

  40. oluniyi david,pls am a business young man and people ask me about smart tv,pls can smart tv work here in akim oda b cos here in oda we get g.t.v from uhf, not from accra.let me know if it can work.dis my number 0247804467 thank you.i hear that the local tv are free to air.

  41. are they fake or real? its a BIG shame for the management of smart tv, when thier so called channels goes dead every now and then.

    how do you expect your customers to enjoy your service with the frequent breaks!

    I don’t think you guys are serious.

  42. Most of us have a problem when it comes to appreciating quality service, we’re too stereotype.
    Every organisation faces challenges in the beginning but for one to be a winner, he’ll have to stand the test of time.
    I believe Smart TV has a lot to offer its viewers. DSTV did not attain its status in a day and let’s face facts, Multi Tv doesnot come an inch close to Smart TV in terms of content, clarity, sound and picture quality.
    Smart TV is here to stay, they sure are making it happen.

  43. I want to know the cost of smart tv digi-box and number of channels it covers. Besides I live at Goaso. Hope I will be able to enjoy it. Thanks. For those commenting bitterly I think every organisation has its own challenges but also urge the management of smart tv rectify their service for the best though claim testing transmission. Thanks

  44. I AM A GHANAIAN , AND I WILL BE VERY GRATEFUL IF ALL OUR LOCAL CHANNELS WILL BE PROGRAMMED ON TO THE SMART TV DECODER. BESIDES WE NEED MORE CHANNELS

  45. I have digit box I bought form Europe. I am able to get two channels i.e BBC news, God TV. Why is it that I m not able to get rest of the channels? are the rest of channels encript? or do i need to buy subcription fee?

  46. Am so grateful that we can receive your channels here in Kenya.Congrats,but kindly show us EPL games,Champions League,La Liga and many more.
    Kindly note the channels has no audio.
    Thanks in advance.

    • Paul..get a smart tv Decoder and you will have sound.SMART TV have offices in kenya I bought their decoder the other day at upper-hill caparo place before you reach Nairobi safari club

  47. I’m not satisfy with your program mes.
    No Champions league, what we see is a repetition of football marches all the time,repetition of films all the time, I’m unhappy with your programs. Not all of us want your programs. As some of us like fufu, others must prefer rice, banku and tz. So please give us a channel that shows war film and chines and champions league us well.

  48. Big Shame to all managements of so call smart tv. I was thinking that you are the people going to give us better service, not knowing that you rather kill us. I bought it because of live matches but not dead matches. shame on you, that we did not get to watch the champion league.

    I have regreeted for buying the smart TV. so i urge all users of smart tv to stop using it and go for muiti or dstv for better service. Through me i had about 16 people who bought your so call Smart TV. And i am the same person who is going to tell them to convert to multi or dstv to watch better programs, especially football(The champions leagues, English premier leagues, Laliga, etc.

    I don’t even know the use of your gtv sports plus and Isports. Meanwhile yesterday multi tv and dstv where showing Barcelona’s match.

  49. Why, you’ve fail us soooooooooooo much. We the user of smart tv were expecting to watch the champion league yesterday, but we couldn’t. Why smart tv. If you can’t show us the champion league, Laliga, English premier league, then I think you are not doing us good.

    Isports and gtvsports were yesterday showing dead matches instead of Champions league. is that how you treats your clans. It was only VISAT who were showing Inter’s match. And visat is a station that everybody in ghana gets to watch provided you have a tv.

    I’m shame of the managements.

    • The main games available as live are communicated weekly. Pls take note. It is EPL on Saturdays and Serie A on Sat and sun. in addition Jupiter league, J-League, MLS, Scottish

  50. i want you to show some italian matches on GTV for those of us who do not have one can watch some matches on it.
    but your station dey force more than multitv.

  51. Hi Ajao,
    please can i use multi TV and smart TV on one television. Can i also change the satellite location to search more stations without loosing my current Mmulti TV channels, If yes how do i go about it.

    thank.

    • Multi TV is on satellite while Smart TV is terrestrial. They are different and should be able to work side-by-side without problems.
      About your 2nd issue, the solution lies in investing in a motorized satellite dish system; if you are willing to invest in one. The motorized system assists with tuning between different satellites (in space).

  52. I have two tvs. One connected to multi tv and the other to smart tv but my technician has interconnected the two so I can watch either multi or smart tv on any of the tvs. The two tvs are in different rooms.

  53. I writing from kumasi Ghana.
    I’m disappointed with your service, don’t think I will ever pay for your service if you don’t improve your service. I prefer to terminate the contract.What we experience is a repetition of programmes.
    Thank U

  54. David, i wld lyk u 2 find out 4rm è authorities of smart tv when specifically è monthly payments wl begin n è upcom’n channels. Ghanaians r crazy abt futbal n wants more of what is currently bin shown. 1 Epl match a wk is nt enough n even dat same match is live on Gtv. Pls find out for me.

  55. I should like to know if people living in and around the Gomoa East District precisely Dawurampong can received signal from SMART TV dish.

  56. Look smart tv is as useless as anything u can imagine,especially that their HOMEBASE station, it if full of repetition programes. Can you imagine only 3 films are shown on this station for the past 4 days, infact it is a disgrace to GTV and the management of smart tv. I wonder if this station can get money to pay it workers,b’cos no businessman or woman will even advertise on this nertwork. Look it is only HI NOLLY that is doing well. People buy it b’cos it is does use a ”dish”,but look is the same as watching the locall tv station. PLS STOP SELLING THIS TO PEOPLE this is TV ROBBERING. WHAT IS THIS? aaaahh !!! Somebody should tell me whether there will be improvement else I will continue to advise people to use their money for better things then this useless thing call ”smart tv”.

  57. PLEASE I HAVE PROBLEM WITH MY SMART TV DECODER, THE PROBLEM IS THAT MY COLOUR NOW IS BLACK AND WHITE WHAT IS THE COURSE? I LIKE SMART TV SO MUCH BUT THIS PROBLEM IS TRYING TO PULL ME DOWN.I AM GETTING REGRETTED FOR PURCHASING SMART TV JUST TO WATCH MOVIES IN BLACK AND WHITE.IS THAT THE SYSTEM WE GOING TO ENJOY?

  58. Am from Kenya and was thinking about subscribing to smart tv but if u guys arent airing Epl, la liga, serie a, etc then wats the point.

  59. please i demand further explanatin why tv3 had been taken out of the programme and also when are you bringing it back togather with metro tv.thank you

  60. Hi, David…… i am in kumasi and i have a usb DVB T reciever, currently with 18 channels just as that of the smart tv….does ti mean that if the free to air channels on smart tv are encripted, i will loose my channels……thanks

    • I’m so much disappointed buying the Smart TV decoder and don’t know why they keep selling these decoders to people.

      Whoever is the boss of smart tv should bow down his head in shame for rendering a bad service to the nation. what are they doing ? they only take people’s money & don’t do anything to improve the service. most of the stations are not working, not even the local stations & for a while now, i thought it would be improved & would get better, but rather getting worse & now they’ve taken KISS TV off, which is my main reason for buying this decoder. why ? ? ?

  61. I have read all the 172 comments and Ihave a full picture of all that is happening. Please, I would be very grateful if you could help direct me to where in Ashanti region I would get Smart TV to buy. Provide me with contact numbers please. Give me other details I might not asked. Thanks.

  62. Hello everyone, i have gone through all the comments being made by all subscribers form other network( using different receivers.

    my concern is what receiver would you suggest/prefer i perches.

    thank you.

  63. As far as I have read the comments,the likes of smart tv, star dtv uganda, are nothing to believe in.
    A case in ugnda, when star dtv started in uganda, they promised heaven on earth. But we haven’t even seen a star.

  64. I think when you are able to provide the services, all the negative comments will become positive. Do you have adult movies on any of the channels.

  65. SMART TV IS THE TERRESTIAL TV SERVICES IN GHANA SO FAR.BUT MY WORRIES IS ABOUT SOME CHANNELS LIKE HOMEBASE,HI NOLLY,SHOWTIME ETC. FOR A MONTH NOW HAS NO SIGNAL.PLEASE FIXED THESE OBSTACLE PROMPTLY BECAUSE I LIKE THE SERVICES.SOME PARTS OF KUMASI (ANOO,BOHYEN,ABEREPO JUNCTION,BREMANG, ETC.)

  66. am very disappointed buying Smart Tv decoder because there is absolutely noting good in that box, because how can you box other companies free channel and our local channels and sell to the public.

    please scrap all that wasteful channels from the box and let me suggest an idea for you before it is too late and before people get to know about it. because Smart Tv for now stand no chance in comparing to any digital decoder anywhere.

    please be smart.
    thank you.

  67. smart guys,boss,some of us in the remote part of western region are surffering when it comes to information.why?,no tv station no radio.if smart tv is a colabo. between gtv and the other then why cant it be a 100% degital so that so of can at have a tv stations to witch.if you are not having enough money to the govt. let him borrow some to help extent it to other part of the country for i am in love with your channels.please,boss,please!!

  68. What is free to air? Coz am scared multitv marketed like cell phone. Will one leave the dish on top of our roofs like G prime. At list smartv has a solid source.

  69. Smart tv why? the free to air channels are even better than the so called foreign channels.Most of the foreign channels have been repeating their programs just like METRO TV so the earlier you guys make things work, the better.One request please:kindly add one Adult (XXX) channel.

  70. prince frm italy
    it took 2 mnths to pass onto DvB…the channels werent dat enough but as time go on we have more channels as a i can imagine
    so my fellow Ghanaians jst stay cool

  71. why not metro tv on smart tv free chanels? pls do you show all matches on EPL? can i use smart tv around bibiani and it environs?

    • I also want to see TV3 and and all Crystal Tv stations(Prime, Plus and Xtra) on Smart Tv or DVB-t. this stations must go digital

  72. currently, smart tv’s broadcast is unbelievably weak @ fumesua,kokobra and ejisu areas, people are complaining of wasted money,pls do somfin about this

  73. pls can you add more free to air channels even if its all the local channels that would make it attrractive.some people have problems with their reception due to the antenna used.

    • We need digital fm stations too on our smart decoder. just like multi is having.

      Also can someone pls help me on how to get sky channels my dvb-t2 reciever

  76. I really love smart TV and all the channels on it…I’ll like to know if there’s gonna be a day to come for u guys to charge it’s uses extra user bills or it’s gonna be forever free ones u purchase….

  77. Some of your channels have it audio sounding MONO..instead of it being stereo..eg ‘Music,eG, and Entertainment…this hampers the quality audio output on-like Hi nolly and ASN…when are u gonna correct that hitch….????

  78. i am one of the uses of smart tv in ghana as said sometime ago after finishing installation of one of your transmion lines we likely to receive tv3 and most likely metro tv but this has not become fruition,pls why?

  79. PLZ, I WANT TO INQUIRE WHETHER SMART TV IS A PAY TV?
