Anyone else having problems with dstv. Mine went down last night at about 21:00. Its been randomly dead or working since then. Mostly dead though. When its working, i get the new channel order, so i'm sure i got the newest update.

My decoder doesnt allow for manual update, just scheduled.

Any thought?

No problems on my side...

Good to hear someone else is also having a problem. I'll phone for help later.

Here's hoping the space made for channel additions gets filled quite quickly

If you mean that this could be a possible problem; it simply means there are no updates you haven't already received, and therefore cannot manually force it.

Isn't there a new movie channel starting on 1 Nov?

Thanks, was wondering about that.

Why do they have to use words like "hip" and "animé"?
First of all it's not a "hip" channel, most
shows are easily 16+ (unless the censored them to shreds), secondly no-one uses the
apostrophe since the Japanese don't use it. It's anime not animé.

Why can't they bring us MST3K back?

 

[Scooby_Doo]

Those are all lame new channels, personally i won't watch any of the new ones.

They could have called it Manga, but that would also have been wrong.

Seems like the migration is causing problem for loads of people.In my case the decoder is getting stuck during scanning when it gets to 9/13 .
I've been holding on the phone for 16 minutes now!

 

[Luke7777]

Since you're on the phone, post when you have the solution Mine's "broken" too

 

[Highflyer_GP]

Why couldn't they just add a 1 or 2 in front of the existing numbers? 166 - NGC, 122 - SS2 etc.

It's all messed up now and I'm not in the mood to learn the new order
