This table is a List of C Band beams covering South Africa. The idea is to help people who are trying to find C-band FTA streams in South Africa get started. Given the amount of C band beams covering this tiny planet this list aims only to cover the common beams however it has the most popular FTA satellites covering South Africa and most are visible with a 3metre dish depending on your location.

At the time of compiling this list there are roughly 200 free channels in South Africa available on C band, as with KU band you can motorize your c band dish with a actuator. This is a very popular often for seekers of free TV since having one BUD (big ugly dish) on your roof is already pretty depressing to those who value their homes not resembling NASA.
