How can I watch Skeem Saam on an app?
a VIU app
Simply install the #VIU app on your phone, and presto!
You simply need to buy a new TV set in order to receive SABC TV broadcasts. The majority of contemporary TVs have built-in digital and analogue tuners. An external antenna is highly useful, especially if you live farther from the closest transmission mast in a city or are obscured by dense natural scenery or concrete buildings.
The precise broadcast frequencies are not required. The closest Sentech repeater determines the precise channel for each site. A modern TV set has the ability to automatically scan and memorize the frequencies of every strong TV signal it may detect nearby.
Where the signal is strong enough, the digital TV option provides the finest viewing. In addition to having substantially clearer picture and sound, digital signals also include certain extra data services, like programming information.
OD OpenView
Some TV and radio broadcasts are available for free through OpenView, a Free To View Direct Broadcast Satellite television provider in South Africa. You must live in South Africa and acquire the start-up kit in order to use the service. You may find the information here.
Only SABC1, SABC2, and SABC3 are available on OpenView out of the five SABC channels. Although not in high definition, the channels are adequate and have complete schedules of programs.
For this carriage, it doesn’t appear like SABC and the owners of OpenView have a direct agreement.
DTH satellite is free.
Sentech also provides direct-to-home (DTH) broadcasts of SABC stations on Intelsat 20 at 68.5°E: 11514 V. Only SABC News (HD) and SABC Encore are not encrypted out of the five channels.
Nearly free DStv
All five SABC TV stations are included in the 29 Rand EasyView bundle from DStv, along with 32 additional channels like e.TV, Soweto TV, Bay TV, 1 KZN, Tshwane TV, Cape Town TV, GauTV, and Lesotho TV. A free month is also included with a yearly payment.
Live broadcasting
Important urgent national events are often live streamed on YouTube by SABC News and SABC 2. No static link exists. Since each live stream has a unique address, we are unable to link to it.
On YouTube, there are internet channels for every SABC TV channel. They offer news, current affairs, documentaries, and occasionally SABC News live broadcasts.
Many of the TV shows that are broadcast are freely accessible on YouTube, although some of them have recently been relocated to the Viu app.
