Apollo IKS Server Channel List 2026

Updated September 2026: this guide reorganises the current Apollo IKS lineup into a cleaner satellite-by-satellite reference. The Apollo IKS Server Channel List 2026 below is based on the channel availability currently listed by Store SAT, but server support can change when providers update encryption, beams, packages or card systems.

Before checking the list, make sure your receiver can actually use the service. If compatibility is your main concern, see Receiver Devices That Support Apollo IKS Server before choosing a package.

If you are comparing card-sharing options rather than only checking channels, the next useful reference is the Store SAT free CCcam server guide, which helps separate a test option from a paid sharing service.

Choose the Apollo system by the package you need, not by the name alone

The current list shows why “Does Apollo open this channel?” is not always a yes-or-no question. Availability can depend on the satellite position, the package, the specific Apollo system and the receiver setup. Apollo VIP is associated with some premium sports packages, while Apollo SP is specifically mentioned for services such as Sky Deutschland and Sky UK.

If you are comparing Store SAT subscription families more broadly, use The Difference Between Store SAT Server Subscriptions to compare the service type before choosing based only on a channel name.

Channel availability is not permanent. Encryption changes, provider migrations and server-side updates can add, remove or temporarily destabilise packages. Confirm the package you need before renewing or buying.

What this Apollo IKS channel list does not guarantee

• It does not guarantee that every channel in a package will remain open continuously.
• It does not mean every satellite can be received from your location.
• It does not mean the same package is available on Standard, VIP and SP systems.
• It does not replace receiver compatibility, dish alignment or signal-quality checks.

Frequently asked questions about Apollo IKS channels

Does Apollo IKS open beIN SPORTS in 2026?

The current Store SAT list shows beIN SPORTS sports channels on Nilesat and Badr under Apollo VIP. Because package status can change, confirm the exact sports package and satellite before purchase or renewal.

Is Sky UK included on Apollo IKS?

Sky UK is listed as partially available on Astra 28.2°E and tied to Apollo SP. Some channels are marked unavailable, so it should not be treated as a full-package guarantee.

Does Apollo IKS support Hotbird 13°E?

Yes. The current list includes a broad selection on Hotbird, including Greek, Polish, Italian, Swiss, French and Belgian packages. A few services, including Sky Italia and Canal+ 4K, are listed as unavailable.

Why can a channel disappear even if it is listed here?

Card-sharing availability can change after encryption updates, package migrations, provider maintenance or server-side changes. Receiver software, signal quality and satellite reception also affect what you can actually watch.

Do I need Apollo VIP for every sports package?

No. The list associates Apollo VIP with specific packages such as beIN SPORTS and DSTV, while other services are linked to Standard or SP. Choose according to the exact package you need.

Can I use Apollo IKS on any receiver?

No. Your device must support the relevant sharing system and software. Check receiver compatibility before buying or renewing to avoid paying for a service your hardware cannot use.

Check the exact package before you renew or subscribe

The safest way to use this guide is to identify your satellite, package and receiver first, then match them to the Apollo system that currently supports them. That avoids paying for a higher tier that does not solve your actual viewing need.

If you are also comparing IPTV subscription tiers, this guide to The Difference Between GOGO IPTV Standard and Premium gives you a separate comparison path before you choose a service.
