Autotune on Dstv

[springbokkie]

Just had a discussion with someone about autotune.

When did autotune became a feature on DSTV?

IMO it's about 3 years ago.

 

[milomak]

what exactly do you mean by autotune? what do you need to tune on DSTV?

 

[Thestealth]

We've had DSTV for about 5 years now and I think it's always been there

 

[Captain Beer]

The autotune feature was introduced with the EN2 middleware 2001/2002.

Why does it even matter?

More importantly, when will it work without bugs?

When you press 'OK' on the next program to follow, you have the option of "reminder" or auto tuning to the program when it starts.

Thanks, they argued with me that auto tune and reminder was always there.
I knew the reminder feature was way before auto tune.

Yeah, reminder was there since the time of the original Pace decoder, however at that time you could only set the banner for the NEXT program and not anywhere in the EPG.
