Yesterday @ around 12h00 or so, I was watching Discovery on a DSTV Walka 4.3 (linked to an active DSTV Premium account), when the picture suddenly went dark, and an error message 'E16-4 This Service is currently scrambled' appeared.

This morning I logged on to the DSTV 'Self-Help' section of their website, and performed an online 'reset' for the Walka.

It reset successfully, and I was able to watch S1E5 of 'Star Wars Rebels' @ 06h50 on Disney XD, which is still currently viewable.

I can also change over to M-Net Series, Sony Max and Channel O.

However, if I try & change to the following channels, I get the 'Unable to play (Channel Name)' message with an error code of E133-4 instead:

M-Net Mobile, Discovery, Mzansi, SS Blitz, SS1, SS2, SS3, SS4, kykNET, eNCA, CNN

Anyone have any ideas on what the issue is, as it is rather frustrating to only have 4 channels operational.

Do a rescan on the Walka
 
Im having some issues on my Drifta to my iPad; called then dudes & they said they are having issues; my error was E133 though; only a few channels would work & slowly more came back "online".
 
Just done another online reset and then a channel scan - no luck, same issue - same 4 channels only. :(

Probably another 'technical glitch' on Monochoice's side - puzzling how they always seem to happen on weekends though.
