Thanks jimmyireland
the new SV 11-channel movie bouquet requires a new Viaccess card - the old 4+ or 5+ one won't work. Look at the turbosat website for their 'upgrade' offer.

Bear in mind that there are 17 channels on the 12360H transponder - 5 others unconnected to Sex View - and these FTA ones show no signs of blockiness or poor picture quality and one (Zan TV) is only broadcasting a testcard at the time of writing, i.e. not taking any significant transponder capacity.

This means that the 11 Sexview channels showing movies and the 1 trailer channel don't even have a proportional share of the available 38Mbit/s capacity on this transponder.

The short of this is - awful blocky picture quality - and it is - much worse than the picture quality on the old transponder - and that was poor also.

Also - at the time of writing they are not showing 3 new films per channel per day. They are repeating the same movies.

This may be just startup issues - this is the first working day since their official 1st April launch, but they have hit the ground crawling with 2 broken legs, rather than running...

...and my card subscription is ticking away the days while they appear still to be commissioning the product.


A dismally poor launch.
