How to tune in to CTV

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.
