Next, connect your receiver with the internet . (you don’t have to connect the internet server IKS or Satellite SDS server). If you own a decoder that comes with an IKS account(such as g-share, forever, funcam and so on), you would need to reconnect it to get those encrypted channels back.

Search for the channels.
Once the receiver is connected to the internet, all the four sports channels and other SatTube channels will pop-up and be stored on your decoder automatically by themselves without scanning.
Lastly, then you can disconnect the internet and watch them as they are FTA.


Additional note include:

» If you disconnect the power from the STB(decoder) and power it on again the channels won't appear as is usual to TV services. This means you have to repeat the steps by connecting the internet to your STB to get them back again.
» Once the channels pops-up and you can watch them without an internet connection.
» The channels will automatically be stored by themselves without scanning but they need a supported firmware and internet.
» Once you point your dish to Hotbird and it stays on Hotbird 13E, the channels will appear.
