yuzjet: *Not that alone*


To re-subscribe, na wahala.

Decoder hanging like curve 2.

It takes forever to scan.

It auto change channels on its own.

And sometimes, it ignore instructions from its remote.


Many more of those problems though..... Something is definitely wrong with their server!

@OP thanks for creating the thread and also to the Mod that brought this on FP, kudos.

My own I resubscribed and for four days I couldn't view any thin, after several threatening Mails they say they did not receive my fee I should contact my bank. Now my bank got back to them and the story changed to I used wrong smart card number to pay I should wait for a refund, one week now nothing

quiet unfortunate some people are paying as much as 11k per month and not getting any value for the money well spent.
anyway if u are not inform u will surely be deform. i so much believe those that are paying that huge amount of money must have done so
because of their love for sport. if sport is main reason for doing so then i have good news for you that can save u from the hands of DSTV.
why do u have to pay that huge amount of money when you can easily get your EPL, LALIGA, SERIEA, CHAMPIONS LEAGUE etc on free to air.
contact me on 08066211155. bb pin 26835081 if u care to know more.

You'all should try Montage Cable TV.
It's economical with lots of channels
DSTV service is wacked with lots of repititive programs. The only thing that has kept them going is the sport channels (EPL specifically) and the monopolized market.

Montage promo will end on the 11th of September 2014. Try get one if you can.

I Am Not Using Free To Air Dstv, We Were Using Strong Decoder Before But It Stopped Working So We Gave It Out And Bought The Original Dstv Decoder And Now Its Acting Up, So Where Did U Get The Idea That I Am Using A Free To Air Decoder

I use DSD 1110 (+2) and still share this same story. Freezing and re-scanning. It's indeed embarrassing atime. Was thinking mine is faulty.
Thanks op for this sharing. It's not their fault, they enjoy monopoly due to none serious competitors.

The signal services we are paying for supposed to be embedded with internet and telephone services too as is obtained in other climes. Service providers just come into Nigeria and give us less services at a higher cost.
The day is coming when consumers will embark on an indefinite strike against these service providers.

twinstaiye: I hadnt noticed any of the above complaints. However, I use their new decoder, DSTV Explora. Can we be specific about the type of decoder we are using? I heard the HD PVR decoder doesnt record channels anymore either.
its probably due to the new BOX Office feature. I don't blame them tho, that's what happens when you have the market all to yourself; not just any market, 9ja at that!

Velvet86: Please is anyone experiencing the same problem as I am.?
My decoder is always changing channels on its own & the most annoying is the rebooting/scanning which takes ages to complete.

Pls what is actually the problem?
Is it Software issues?

It's very frustrating especially when it causes you to miss important episodes.
You must have spent ages monitoring it. Na wa o

BuhBye:

Picture quality is just disgusting one can actually see the individual pixels. I will only recommend metro if you love sports but can't afford Dstv.
Yea...True about the picture quality...

You should buy a new LNB if your decoder freezes and keeps rescanning (the LNB is in your dish). It might have gotten damaged because of the rain.

I've been experiencing similar issues for sometimes & I was even thinking that my decoder was about having problem until I read this- I promptly sent them a tweet below is my tweet & their defensive response; @DStvNg My decoder freezes, changes channels on its own & re-boots/scans which takes ages to complete. Pls what is actually the problem?
@DStvNg: @belovedbest We are sorry to hear this. This may be a technical problem. Please contact your installer to check and rectify. ~CN
