Receiving Vivid bouquet (from Sentech) on Dstv decoders

[Anot R.User]

Hi there!

In order to get all the bouquets, you should have the following:

1) A dual frequency LNB set to 10700 and 9750
2) A decoder that offers at least two signal setups.
3) The following values in the second setup:

Frequency: 11170
Symbol rate: 26652
Pol: Vertical
Error Correction: 5/6

After retuning the DSD (You should get 10 Transport streams)
The Vivid bouguet will be on the space (bottom selection on the bouquets
after pushing the TV button)

SABC 1 should start at about channel 16 or 17 with BOP and e-tv at round
about 20 / 21. Channels in the test phase should follow that directly. These
include a Chinese channel in early evening; "Kanaal ?" (Afrikaans) running
7-8 pm, MCM (Music) and Euronews.

Note that a few addisional audio sevices are also available including radio
stations such as SAFM.

Some of these channels will become permanent, others not, but we hope to add
quite a few in the coming months. Most of those will eventually migrate to a
pay service, but meanwhile you are very welcome.

Best regards

Constant.

Hi

I tried these settings but can only view the mosaic channel. The rest
(Sentech business) are scrambled. On the music channels only the one
transmitting 2 stations on the left and right channels can be heard.

Any body out there experiencing the same problems?

I have a Pace 600.

Same on this side -- I have the Multichoice DSD 660. I used to be able to
receive SABC1,2 & 3, e.tv & Bop-Tv, but now nothing.

Hallo there!

We have tested the 645 and 660 DSD's and can confirm that they can display
the Dstv and free-to-air channels from Vivid. Most other DSD's which allows
more than one signal setup should be able to accomodate it, but as we do not
have all the various decoders used by Dstv we cannot comment on the
suitability of them all. (SMS decoders do seem to have a problem - check the
label on the back of your decoder )

If the software version on your decoder is old, there could be a software
update available from Dstv that might help.

We will see if we can get hold of and test some of the models that you have
problems with, but as mentioned previously, it is actually Dstv decoders and
we will only be able to really support the Vivid decoders.

Best regards meanwhile

I've got a Pace 610 and followed your instructions down to the last
letter.

However, as soon as I selects alternative networks I get nothing but
scrambled channels. Not even the mosiac channel ..

Do any of the requirements below preclude the use of a Pace 500, or is it
now possible to get Sentech bouquet with that?

Sunday I had the M-NEt, Supersport 1 and MMC not working. Tried an over the
air upgrade and it lokced up my machine totally. Took it to Multichoice and
they upgraded the software there free of charge and when I got
home...voila!! The new Sentech channels were there with e-tv and Bop-TV.
Since I don't have a tuner connected to my HIFI at home, being able to
listen to 5FM is a real pleasure now!!

TAke your decoder in and ask for an upgrade. I have the DSD660.
