i bought a decoder in SA will it work Zambia?

Question

my mum bought a decoder in SA,about four years ago. when she came back she packed the decoder she did not use it. so it has been unpacked now, can it work?

Answer 1

Yes,  it will work

Answer 2

You never specified the Decoder's model but if it was all the TV satellites I know  cover much of the southern African countries. DSTV and Wiztech will work. Its more about the dish and where's pointing.

Also note DSTV has retired some decoders.
