Guys ... this seems to be a problem with Multichoice. The DSTV form has a thread going on, and there are many who are turning their TVs on in the a.m. and seeing a message that a DSD Upgrade si in progress. I have had it two mornings in a row now. I just put the HD PVR into standby, and out of standby again, and you can continue normal viewing.

If you go into the DSD Upgrade screen in Settings, it will show that there is an upgrade available, but if you choose to download it, you will get a error message.

I have posted twice now (as have others who have had the same issue) about this on the DSTV forum site, as have some other subscribers, and now everyone is complaining about MCAs silence on this matter ... but unfortunately that is typical of them.

Here's the thread: http://forum.dstv.com/showthread.php?t=9044
 
Has anyone phoned them (Ugh that effing IVR sucks ass) and asked about it?

ok, reading the thread on nochoice, it seems people have phoned, and received (un)helpful responses :p

Just spoke to the guys at BTD - I will provide a more comprehensive answer later today. But essentially what happened is that someone accidentally made field trial software live to the whole base. This essentially means you got message that it was waiting for an upgrade, but there is no upgrade.

It should reset itself again automatically - I had the same message on my 4-tuner HD PVR yesterday morning.

Apologies that we did not communicate sooner - I thought mine was an isolated problem.

They Really need to sort out the HD PVR 2p my one on certain times when you watch a recording it will just freeze every 2-3 seconds the only way to solve is to reset the decoder
