Velvet86: Please is anyone experiencing the same problem as I am.?
My decoder is always changing channels on its own & the most annoying is the rebooting/scanning which takes ages to complete.

Pls what is actually the problem?
Is it Software issues?

It's very frustrating especially when it causes you to miss important episodes.
go and get GOTV grin

barika2011: Same thing here,my decoder takes forever to boot and hangs from time to time
are you sure you are using dstv or Qsat, because the hanging/ freezing thing is peculiar with Qsat users.

My decoder does the same aswell + DSTV is becoming so damn annoying we pay high bills and get below par services. They show wateva. They like ranging frm movies that date as far back as 2000. The sports channels nko? Dey keep repeating matches common Euro qualifiers dem no fit show. they are ridding us big tym.

sauceny: Does it,cus itz put up on an automatic software update...
Its not automatic, you can choose to ignore the update
Re: What Is Wrong With DSTV? Are They Having Software Problem? by meetgaya: 8:02am On Sep 10, 2014
Funbii: 1. Switch off the power, pull out the power
cord from the DStv Decoder and wait 30
seconds.

2. Re-insert the power cord, switch on the
power and wait for the DStv Decoder to finish
scanning.

If the problem still persists, tweet at them @DStvNg
Is it what we are going to do everyday switching and disconnecting? This is terrible!
You have fail Nigerians like Jonathan. You need to upgrade your systems with the money you collected from us because the way my DSTV is freezing and rebooting am began to think how to change to strong. The worst about DSTV is showing old films.

It's good to see this here. I was of the opinion that my decoder was going bad. I hope DSTV sorts this out as soon as possible. It's quite frustrating...

Afghanistan:
Your decoder may be fauly or you are having smart card problem because its not a general issue. By the way, what type of decoder are you using.

His decoder is not faulty, didn't you read the comments from other members. Oh i'm sorry, i guess we all have faulty decoders maybe it's time to buy that over priced PVR.
Re: What Is Wrong With DSTV? Are They Having Software Problem? by BluStreak(m): 8:23am On Sep 10, 2014
dashintrends: i suspect it is a software update that does not fit some decoders, but was sent to all.
Hubby said, its like they want to force us to get the PVR.
They should do something about this please.

I share in this thoughliine. I am having the same problem and my tot exactly was to force subscribers to upgrade their decorder.

Austamaj: The solution is simple whe it asks for reboot just press EXIT on your remote you will be fine. That's my short cut solution.

It's automated, one does simply cancel it.
