They charged me threehundred and something for a swop last year. It's free if you have a maintenance contract.
If you restored factory defaults everything should work as normal if nothing is wrong with the decoder.

Blue screen.... when you did a factory reset, the TV channel settings were also reset to the default settings - retune your TV to get the decoder signal. Resetting factory defaults will restore all the settings it came out with including the Pas 7/10 settings so it should work unless there is a hardware fault on the decoder.

1k i think, im not sure though

Anybody know where I can get hold of a free to air receiver?
Been playing around with an old DStv decoder and got some nice channels on it like FTV and Extreme TV for free!
I know there are still hundreds of other channels out there just waiting to be tapped, but you need a free to air decoder/receiver for it because monopolychoice's decoder only has certain setting for you to adjust.
Please, anybody, I really need some help.
Oh, and btw, google didn't turn up 1 single place in SA where you gan get a FTA satellite receiver.

Thanks in advance
