The discovery was made one week ago by the office of the Information Attaché and it was fully supported by the Ambassador His Excellency Bockari Kortu Stevens and Head of Chancery Sheku Mesali who instructed further investigation and implementation.
Apart from the reception, and three other connections showing SLBC programs at the Embassy, other Sierra Leoneans residing in the USA have also started accessing the Broadcaster.
The signal is very strong and the images and sounds are not experiencing any difficulty during transmission.
According to the Merchant Zacharie Joly Nkondo, tv4africa began broadcasting SLBC a little over one year ago through fibre optic, when SLBC went on Satellite.
SLBC programs can be accessed through the internet and can be connected to television sets.
According to Joly, there are three possibilities to log on to “tv4africa”: It can either be done Manually, Automatically or Plug and Play.
Manually, one has to download the tv4africa software free, donate five Euros through online payment. Soon after the donation, a user login data Indicating input when and where needed will surface, while at the same time, a login code will be sent to your email.
Automatic use will need a USB dongle one time for a onetime fee of Twenty Euro, and also donate Five Euro to get log in data that will be encrypted in the USB dongle. Consequently, a user will not need to input a login name, once any person wants to view.
The plug and play user will require a special USB plug and play, to store the software that will enable it access the TV Anywhere, where there is internet.
