FFS...House, Series 1 AGAIN?!?!?

Would you know if there is a difference between replacing a decoder that is working but has reset problems and one that simply isn't working any more. In other words would I have to pay for the first option. I know they charge for the second option.

I still have one of the older decoders, 720i I think.

If you have decoder care it covers any problems with the decoder. My HDD was making a whining noise so I took it back, they replaced it with a refurb one. Previously my personall settings would reset themselves 2 or 3 times a week resulting in the remote eye not working in the bedroom. I took it back and they replaced it.

I would give them a call, they're pretty good with things like that. Just come up with a compelling story even if you over exaggerate issue. They might ask you to reset the decoder to factory defaults and try that out and if that fails take it in for replacement. I normally just go there and claim I've spoken to a call centre agent and they told me to bring it in for replacement even though I haven't;)
 
I will definitely do something about it soon.
Thanks for the advice.

Still does not detract from all these repeats ad infinitum, ad nauseum.
Only time it helps if I cannot fall asleep.
 
Just thinking about it... this is the magical ability of MC to resurrect the forgotten over and over again. Tie a nice shiny red bow around it's "waist" and it's ready for a "new" season. Magical :)
 
My main gripe is why does House have to be repeated.I can't stand that doctor with the stick.Why can't they do repeats of Friends or something worth watching.

I'm an avid House fan, which is why it irritates me beyond belief that we get as far as Series 3, I think, and then it goes off for a month or two, and the next thing you start all over again. I'm busy getting a friend with a media player to copy her box sets onto it so that I can finally watch the other seasons, no point it seems in waiting for Monochoice to show them. There have been so many good series over the years, so I honestly can't understand why they can't add a bit of variety - I mean the other day I saw Sanford and Son advertised - :wtf: I think that was late '70s?

Apologies to and Sanford fans :)

The fact that you've watched it twice, tells me you watch too much telly. Listen to JUGGY, his advice is pretty good... If it is so terrible, cancel and stop complaining here. I'm so sick of hearing complaints about the repeats on DStv, which occur on all pay TV platforms and is never going to change.

a) It's called Freedom of Expression. No doubt you missed the circular, but it's okay, we're not all perfect.

b) I'm certain that 'Grandmaster' status here makes you feel good about yourself, but the truth is most likely that you attained it by commenting on posts (like this one) where you had no constructive input to give. So, quantity over quality. No surprise. If you don't like these posts, feel free to avoid them. :twisted:

That's quite funny... When you've got some time (when your not watching TV or complaining on forums), go and have a look at my previous posts. I'm tech support for a supplier in the industry. I help installers every day with anything from domestic to large communal installations and I've helped quite a few people on here. I never said anything about being a Grandmaster. Get over yourself.

I wouldn't even bother stooping QT, seems he has nothing better to do than talk crap on the internet. I normally don't bother with people who can't engage in a conversation without resorting to personal attacks and childlike comments. It show a lack of intellegence and maturity.

And don't even bother replying Durandal, you're on ignore...
 
Just watched Season 7 upto E8 but missed Season 1 ... so PVR'd the season 1 on my DM8000. Then again I may have well just dl'd from Torrent.
 
I've got an idea for you, I flick through the new DSTV guide magazine every month and look at what new stuff is coming on, I then turn on the PVR and record everything that interests me from the guide.

I then watch it and avoid everything else. Sure I could download it all from the net, but there's something about the convenience of flicking through channels knowing there is at least something to watch without having to think about it, and you'll have enough recordings to not even notice any repeats.
 
LOL people always complain about repeats on DSTV..if you see a repeat switch to another channel theres loads to choose from. PS. If dont like repeats watch the news channels its always current:D
 
WTF so its alright that DSTV has constant repeats these days? The guy is expressing his opinion, no need to act like a bunch of children!
 
Juggy clearly works for Monochoice :D Who in their right mind can come to Monochoice's defense? I mean really? :D

@OP.

Just download what you want to watch mate and cancel DSTV. I pay R almost R 650 a month to just watch Supersport and Discovery (who by the way Juggy is also reapting the crap out of Mythbusters and all the rest). I'm also contemplating canceling it after the Worldcup this year (RWC) I already have 2 x 2TB drives full of series I downloaded from the net. I needs to be placed in seasons and so on still so I haven't bothered yet :o. Will check them sometime.

Actually no, I don't...

Vote with your wallet and stop whinging, if you're in a situation that you don't like remove yourself from said situation. It's what grownups do;)

I actually do ;) I only have MC for sport. If I had another choice I would most def not be with MC. You obviously need to defend them since you used your last R 600 a month to pay the subs so you need to be happy with what you get maybe?
