What is a Free-to-Air Decoder?

A free-to-air decoder is a device that allows users to receive and decode broadcast signals from television or radio stations that are transmitted over the airwaves without any subscription fees. These decoders typically come with built-in tuners that can receive and process digital or analog signals, enabling users to access a wide range of free-to-air channels. They provide a cost-effective way to access broadcast content without the need for a paid subscription service.

Why Do You Need a Free-to-Air Decoder?

In Uganda, a free-to-air decoder is needed to access television channels without subscription fees. It allows viewers to receive and watch broadcast signals from local and international channels that are available for free, providing entertainment and information to a wider audience at no additional cost.

Paid decoder subscription companies like GOTV, StarTimes, and Zuku TV charge UGX 12,000 monthly for their first bouquet that shows only local channels. With your Free-to-Air Decoder, you will have saved yourself from monthly expenditure.

How Much is the Free-to-Air Decoder in Uganda

The free-to-air decoder price in Uganda ranges from UGX 70,000 to UGX 150,000.

You can get the free-to-air decoder from suppliers around town (you must get assistance from a technical person so that you are sold an authentic decoder)

You can also buy the FREE TO AIR decoders on Jumia, and they deliver them right to your doorstep.

Quick Note: Setting up a Free to air decoder is not a hurdle to get scared of, and the free-to-air decoder settings that help it run the local channels are embedded within the device, make use of your device manual to know the procedures of setting up automatic searches in case your local channel is missing.

Don’t get scared in case of signal attenuations, these are normal for any decoder BUT of course if they insist, you should consult a technician or take back the device from your seller. I know of many people that use FREE TO AIR decoders and are not complaining, all they needed was an antenna and everything is now smoothly running for them on the local channels.
