After the channel shift it will be so much easier to find your favourite channels using the channel grid.
The channel grid displays a list of all available channels in the DStv bouquet and is a quick way to check what’s showing on your favourite channel. It is also a great way to tune to a channel when you’re not quite sure what number that channel is on.
- To display the channel grid, press any of the arrow keys on your remote control.
(Please ensure that there is no other information on-screen, e.g. the i-plate, bouquet options etc, when you press the arrow keys)
- Use the arrow keys to move the highlights around the grid. As you move the highlight, you will notice that the information on the i-plate (at the bottom of the screen) updates to reflect the programming information on the selected channel. To tune to the selected channel, simply press ‘OK”. To view extended programme information, press “i”.

Why are you shuffling channels again?
Following the successful implementation of the channel shift 6 months ago and feedback from customers, we've made some improvements to the channel numbering and grouping. One of the important recommendations from subscribers was to number our key channels and genres in a manner that is easier to remember. Movies and general entertainment will be merged into one category - and these numbers will start at 100. News and commerce channels will be moved from 280 to 400. These changes will provide our customers with seamless channel surfing and an enhanced viewing experience.
When does the channel Shift happen?
The changes will be implemented on 1 May 2008. |
