DSTV Freezing

[ichigo]

Anyone know why my dstv freezes sometimes and have to reset the decoder happens with any decoder? Also anyone experiencing the same problem?

I used to get that with my old dsd660 decoder. Never had a problem since I replaced it with a new one.

If your DSTV is freezing, maybe you should try wrapping it in a blanky.....hahahaha

Just kidding, I replaced my Decoder to the 1110 and realigned dish. Problem resolved.

i'm using dsd990 but probably does need the dish to be removed since one of our big trees might be blocking it sometimes

btw does the dish need to be cleaned?

I've heard it happens with the new one 110(?). They have the latest smartcard with extra security and I think the decryption isn't working well hence the freezing.

oh ok so far its happened 5 times tonight

What decoder dude?

 

[ichigo]

dsd990 single view decoder

my dsd990 goes into what I call "black screen" mode quite often. You can still change channels and see the info bar but the whole screen is black. The only way to correct this is to pull the power plug on the decoder and to let it rescan.

thats exactly what i get cfvh600

The only way to fix DSTV is place the decoder in a fire. Then buy a book.

DSTV froze it's programming about five years ago... now the only thing growing is their prices.

Yes... The satellite in the vacuum of space at a constant speed and altitude was moved by little satellite faeries.
