How to configure HiTV decoder for free channels

Power on the HiTV decoder and your televison, press the menu button. A main menu screen will pop up, select installation, press OK on the remote, enter 0000 as the pin and press OK again.
On the Installation screen, select Search Sat and press OK.
Scroll to EUTELSAT and press OK to select it, then press the green button I mentioned earlier.
The decoder will scan for all the channels beamed from that Satellite's listed transponders.
And when it's through you will get additional 30+ channels on your channel list and an additional free to air radio station. Of the channels, the ones with no dollar sign are free to air and you will see channels like;
Olive TV
DRTV INTERNATIONAL LoveworldPlus
ORTB TV
TOUBA TV
MBOA TV and LCF.
Press Exit thrice or more, till you get back to the HiTV default screen. Press OK to check the new channels. Press SAT on the remote and select All Satellite.
Again repeat the initial steps of going through the main menu to Search Sat to add another over 200+ channels. Select HISPASAT and press the green button. Deselect it and now select THOR and press the green button. Again deselect it and select HOTBIRD and press the green button. Press the exit button till you get to the HiTV screen and check the stations on ALL Satellite, they should now be over 300 and the radio stations should be over 80 too. You'll also see some additional free to air channels (including DSTV's Dish channel) and radio stations.

Note: That you have over 300 channels on your list does not mean you can view them all, in fact, of the extra 270+ channels you can view only the less than 10 FTA channels!

To view the other channels, most of which are not on HiTV's bouquet, you will need another smartcard. For instance to view DSTV provided channels, you will need DSTV smartcard, and loads (if not all) DSTV channels are among the 270+.
