Sexview issues since Friday 30th Oct? - Satellite TV support forum & Digital TV support forum.

themonk · 2 Weeks Ago

Hello,
Has anyone noticed problems with Sexview since last Friday (30th Oct '09)? Everything was working fine intil around 16:00 then all channels seems to go off, the message 'Channel Scrambled' came up, then about 30 mins later it all came back but this time the bitrate was reduced drastically, so much so that most of the channels are now unwatchable and much worse than VHS in LP! The blocks are so big you can build a house with them. What the hell is SV playing at??
I've emailed them a couple of times but have had no reply, not that I'm expecting one.
Anyone else had this experience?

Thanks.

or should that be sh** view I have just got a sbscription and as you say the picture is rubbish I thought it was my system. But you have confirmed what I suspected and I can't get all the channels one missing.
And they have the cheek to say they have a &7 year celebration offer !!

Hello,

I'm having Sex View problems too; I have an official viewing card. My subscription shortly expires, but I'm not going to renew.

Are the problems you guys are seeing :
Channels sometimes don't unscramble until you turn the receiver to standby then on again;
Channels are slow to clear, often sitting on a freeze frame for about 5 seconds before clearing;
Even worse picture quality sometimes than usual.

?

I was wondering if my receiver/dish/LNBs are faulty.

Thanks,

yup, I have similar problems.

I have Viaccess 12+

Channels now take ages to clear.

I hear the audio immediately, but it can take up to 2-3 minutes for the video to clear. While that's happening, my box intermittently flashes the onscreen message 'service not running or scrambled' every 2-3 seconds.

This happened in 2 stages.

They were dicking around with the bitrate and, at about the same time as they reduced the bitrate to make way for the two new SoS channels on that transponder, they also messed up the Viaccess data so that each channel took about 3 secs to clear (was about 1 sec before) and showed the 'service not running or scrambled' message once before clearing.

Then they did some more dicking around and ruined it completely.

'dicking around' is obviously meant to be interpreted as 'reasonable temporary service alterations by competent broadcast professionals'

I thought that dicking around was what you were after when you subscribed to SV?

Thanks Elmin.
I think my card is also the Viaccess 12+.
Of course, '12+' actually means '11 channels of content which may or may not be consistently on air or reasonably viewable'.

Does anybody reading this have an MCT card for Hotbird, or whatever it is called these days? How is reliability and picture quality on that? If it is along the lines of how SexView was until recently, I'd be reasonably content with that.
