How to tune in to Cape Town TV

CTV is a free-to-air channel - in other words anyone in our transmitter range can tune into us without the need for a set top box or a decoder. You will find Cape Town TV on the UHF band. Press Menu on your TV or remote control; go to the Search function; let it search on the UHF band; press Stop when you see the Cape Town TV channel; store the channel.

Our signal is coming to you from the Tygerberg transmitter site - so if you can see Tygerberg hill and your antenna is pointing that way it will be plain sailing - all you need to do is to retune your television set. Other areas close by may also be able to look at our signal which is on the UHF band, and beaming to the greater Cape Town area.

See the coverage map below to find out if you will be able to receive the signal (blue area on map). Those areas not in line-of-sight of Tygerberg Mountain will not be able to receive it - e.g. areas such as Camps Bay, Llundudno, Hout Bay, Stellenbosch, Malmsbury etc. will not receive it.
