Yes
But the satellite you want to watch must be in A or 1
So you have to be changing it any time you want to switch the satellite you have tracked.
NB. Let the NIT be off if you have not track dstv

In my experience anytime but the programs will be blocked by dstv if that happens hold the power button it will reboot the decoder. But you must have already track the FTA bird first. Don't use the dstv decoder to track its quite boring.
