ZimDigital Decoder, Offering All Local TV Channels Without Subscription, Now Available

The Broadcasting Authority of Zimbabwe (BAZ), Transmedia and local Television broadcasters are selling the ZimDigital decoder which offers Zimbabweans access to all local TV channels in full HD.

The decoder includes a cable, remote, cables, indoor, and outdoor antenna.

The channels available on the decoder are 3Ktv, Keyona TV, NRTV, Jive TV, ZBC News, ZBCtv and ZTN Prime.

Unlike PayTV services such as DStv and Azam, ZimDigital decoder does not require subscription fees.

ZimDigital decoders are available on Pindula Market for US$30 or the ZiG equivalent. Click the highlighted text to buy one.

Journalist Hopewell Chin’ono said all the TV channels on the ZimDigital decoder are linked to the government and ZANU PF system. He wrote on X:

3KTV is owned by the Daily News, which competes with The Herald as the propaganda mouthpiece for the Government.
Keyona TV is owned by Fairtalk Communications (Private) Limited, a radio broadcasting company that is also the parent company of Skyz Metro FM and Breeze FM.
Interestingly, Fairtalk is partly owned by the Zimbabwe National Army.
NRTV is owned by Rusununguko Media (Pvt) Ltd, which is reportedly affiliated with the Zimbabwe National Army.
Jive TV is a youth-oriented television channel that was launched by the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation (ZBC) in 2022. It is a ZBC channel!
The other two, ZBC News and ZBC-TV, are owned by the Zimbabwean Government.
ZTN is also run by the Government through Zimpapers, the holding company for the Herald newspaper, which is the Zim Government’s biggest propaganda megaphone.
So, all these TV stations are run by propaganda companies for the regime!
Zimbabwe only has ONE terrestrial TV station, the rest can only be watched via decoders, and they are all regime creations!

If you are not happy with the product it's wise to keep quiet and leave others to make their peaceful decision. Some people just hate iZimbabwe okungela nkawulo lizovuvuka inhliziyo ziqumbe zidubuke bantu benkosi.

They should have included some sport channels, otherwise it's a positive development,we should not always criticize for the sake of mere criticizing ,let's fine tune this local decoder until it is the best locally. Dstv ,Open View and others are for South Africans, Azam for Tanzanians, why can't we embrace our own decoder until it improves on the number of channels,those busy throwing brickbats on this decoder are people who always denigrate and are always quick to write bad things about this country, this decoder is still in it's infancy and we should all nourish it until it gets to the expected level competing with those decoders which are already established.

as we speak do you even watch ZBC,do you plan on owning this decoder. Stop patronising with your hypocrisy.The issue is about content,if they provide engaging content like Al Jazeera does then we will buy it. What does second Republic have to do with local drama,stop politicizing everything you can c and touch.

Why should I Google it? Open view is purely a people's entertainment platform showcasing the South African Arts has nothing to do with politics. SABC is also a non aligned parastatal wholly owned by the children of Mthaniya

People like Hope urgently need help, be it psychological, spiritual or whatever. Him and his accomplices in this failed regime change agenda have not yet woken up to the realities of a Zimbabwe that is marching forward, much to their frustration and chagrin. Sick lot that one is.
