The most annoying thing mine does is to switch channels to okapi....always okapi. Scanning is so slow,sometimes disobeys orders from the remote and resubscribing is never automatic. Must one always call the customer care for that? |

Velvet86: Please is anyone experiencing the same problem as I am.? Thank God o!! Me I have a permanent E-32 Error Message that takes 5 Mins to wipe off everytime I start up my decoder... So If NEPA Take Light return am, the Decoder boots and then a screen that says 'You need to rescan your decoder pops up' with the 'Ok' or 'Cancel' option. If you dare press okay, it rebooths the fhucking decoder from scratch. If you press cancel it just starts normally.. If you delay for 30secs, it reboots and rescans itself and takes like 3 - 6 minutes to come on, by then NEPA don either take the light back or the film don finish. #DSTV PVR Decoder. 1 Like 1 Share |

kultimate009: Simple Solution.... BUY GOTV.... Better, cheaper and as far as I know it doesn't 'hang' or 'freeze' and most importantly, almost the same content.... Abi na by force to watch Comedy Central ni? I love my "GoaTv" |
Re: What Is Wrong With DSTV? Are They Having Software Problem? by GentleGina(f): 8:21pm On Sep 10, 2014 |
The DStv decoder problem seem to be a general problem because I am experiencing it too. And like someone suggested above, maybe they are deliberately doing it in order to force subscribers to buy PVR or Explorer decoders. |

Yes I hate the long rebooting time, attendant with the annoying disruption/loss of viewing critical/enjoyable moments. I now avoid this problem, if caused by power failure by hooking my decoder to a UPS (thereby buying enough time for me to switch on the generator without the irritating interruption) but suffer like everyone else whenever I am forced to manually reboot as the only option to resolve the issue of hanging/freezing. My second grouse is with the EPG, which I depend a lot on to pre-select programmes to watch by using the autotune option (you can pre-select a programme on any channel and when its time comes up the decoder switches to the channel automatically). First of all, access to the EPG fails quite often or is delayed for hours, sometimes even days; or the programme content may not even be up to date (including missing channels to choose from). For some years now I have also not been unable to access the audio section, for radio (e.g. BBC Hausa etc) and also audio music - like it use to be available before. I don't know whether there is a trick to it or simply the service is no longer available - somebody this confirm pls. It would appear that Nigerian factor is gradually creeping into their once efficient services; DSTV better wake up and do something quick before lose they lose customers to rival companies - I for one would immediately jump ship on emergence of the next competitive or better service provider. |

dashintrends: i suspect it is a software update that does not fit some decoders, but was sent to all. I use an HD PVR and I experiencing same problem. It's always rebooting and scanning anytime I switch it on. |
