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.

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.

*Not that alone*


To re-subscribe, na wahala.

Decoder hanging like curve 2.

It takes forever to scan.

It auto change channels on its own.

And sometimes, it ignore instructions from its remote.


Many more of those problems though..... Something is definitely wrong with their server!

@OP thanks for creating the thread and also to the Mod that brought this on FP, kudos.

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?

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.

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.

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, send your tweets to @DStvNg
