Almost 5 Minutes Of DSTV Booting Is Tiring And Annoying! by ayobase(m): 11:21pm On Oct 17, 2013 |
My people, me don tire for this DSTV booting o. I don dey even dey consider star times or HITV. I could switch on my DSTV, and still meet it booting while I shuttle Wuse to and from Maitama. Sometimes, I fit on the thing go Chuch for Utako around 5pm, and still meet it booting when it is 8pm Sorry for those pieces of exaggeration, no be my fault. This has been happening without much worries, cos I would prefer engaging myself in any-about-5mins chores (like listening to music, microwaving........) Just to while away time with, but tonight's episode shot my anger up. I was watching the Gulder Ultimate Search, and while they were about climbing the ropes (the most anticipated interesting moment) the NEPA did their worse. It was late, and I don't wanna bother switching on the gen. Also considering the fact that the fuel might get exhausted while the DAMN thing boots up, with curses, I hissed and went to bed. But the power was restored after about 5mins. Jumped up and rushed to the sitting room to finish up. You can simply figure out what happened again. Well, I joined then at the concluding part. And to know, does it happen to me alone, or its nationwide? Secondly, what do u do at that moment of about 5mins if it happens to u also? |

Lol...I'm used to it . What I normally do is; when I get home, I switch on the appliances before doing anyother thing....so after settling down, the scanning must have been concluded. Btw..mine is not up to 5Mins oooo. Its just about 1 to 2 mins and it's done! Maybe the network in your area isn't strong or the dish wasn't positioned towards the best network direction during installation. On another note...so na Dstv scanning make you open epistle |

There is nothing that is as annoying as that booting! It is tooooooooooo loooooonnnnng! Sometimes, I'll change it to the other dish! But most times, I'll just switch the dish on, then go round the house looking for any work to do It is so annoying enn! Especially if I was watching a program and NEPA took light 1 Like |

Your dish needs to be re-aligned its currently not picking the right signal at the strength level requured for faster booting. |

Wait! I don't understand! Are some people DSTV booting faster than other peoples own? Is it not the same 24? |

O.k! U have DSTV? Well i dn't have. I use Antenna to listen to local channels, it doesn't require booting. Switch on your T.V 1 sec you are already viewing NTA News 24. I recommend same for you. |

It pains me most when I'm watching a football match, and Nepa just do their normal stuff!!! Switch on the Gen and you still gonna wait for at least 4minutes before all goes well. #Nonesens |

babawarunn: Buy a ups, and connect your decoder to the ups. Anytime PHCN electricity goes off, the ups will keep the decoder on for some minutes,untill you put on your gen; that way, there will be no need for your decoder to reboot when you put on your gen. What about if are rushing in to watch a VERY important programme that u wouldn't wanna miss any part, or u just wanna watch just the last 3-4 mins of a programme! That kin thing! The UPS advise is nice! |
