Thank God for this post, I thought my smart card was faulty. I hope they resolve it soon, that is what you get in a monopoly market

Picture quality is just disgusting one can actually see the individual pixels. I will only recommend metro if you love sports but can't afford Dstv.

BuhBye:

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.
But mine is not doing like that sha. Its the normal small white decoder.

Guys I was thinking its mine alone. My own has been doing this in the last 2 months. I keep calling and they keep telling me to remove the card and put it back. It will display my Smart card is faulty or You are not enabled to view this Channel. DSTV should do something fast.

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.
You seem not to get it, it doesnt ask for a reboot, it reboots itself

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.
. telemundo episodes I guess grin

femi4: Did you forget these:

1. After scanning, some channels becomes missing in action e.g SS3, you have to put the decoder off for like 5mins and rescan

2. After reaching 26/26 which consumes almost 10mins, alas another message appear on your screen "E30-2, pls wait for about 2mins, we are trying to verify your account....bla bla"


U're right.

U can't believe while I was watching Man City vs Stoke match, after the half time, that Select 2 disappeared when second half was about to start?

Slymonster: The time counting annoys me more,from 26 it will go up to 100 one day...
haha I remember when it was just 12. Dstv should just find a way to get rid of that stuff.

My RSTV is clearer than ever. Make ona no go buy free-to-air. Imagine paying 11k and no light, freezing and rescanning decoder when you spend more money on fuel and generator. *abeg tune to jimjam for the kids*

I am still enjoying my Q-TV that gives me all the channels DStv has to offer including EPL. DSTv can go to hell...only ignoramuses still pay DStv

I hadnt noticed any of the above complaints. However, I use their new decoder, DSTV Explora. Can we be specific about the type of decoder we are using? I heard the HD PVR decoder doesnt record channels anymore either.

Buy Startimes decoder or StarTimes Dish. It's cheaper and boot within 1 minutes. I watch almost all d European 2016 Qualifying matches on StarTimes.
