SCV - STB(Chennai): Problems, Queries and others

[mailtoviki]

Can I get the smart card activated by a different area cable operator, bcoz my cable operator is always telling stories.

Smart Card Activation is done by SCV not by your local cablewala.So u better contact SCV office thru phone or in person.

it may be old news, i tuned my stb a few days ago to see whether they have added any new channels and i came across two channels titled hdtv1 and hdtv2, they were blank of course, but may be they are planning to add a few hdtv channels in the future

are there any hdtv channels telecasting in india, or may be some new hdtv channel would be entering the market soon. Either way there too few people with hdtvs to get the full benefit of this service.

@rsudar

i think the channel number is 1200 and 1201 in coship stb, if you have coship try that number

 

[rsudar]

yes i too got coship stb. i think everyone frm scv has only coship stb.do they give any other stb

My cable operator offered to give SCV STB for Rs.300 (250/-) for the box and Rs. 50/- for installation. After giving a xerox copy of ration card and paying 3 1/2 months advance subscription fee for a package of paid channels, we waited for 20 days and at last they said our card was activated. Nothing worked. Now, we get only HBO. That is all. Nothing else!! For many channels, it says searching for signal. and for most others it says service is scrambled!! The cable operator is not reachable any time we call. Could it be because the STB is of poor quality or is it because of the cable? What could be the problem? We are all regretting that we went in for SCV. They are not professional in their dealings. :madness: Now,if things continue in much the same way, we will give back the STB to SCV and go in for Tata Sky which is much better.The only sad thing is that the DTH people charge monthly for the additional (2nd) TV(STB) that we have also. If they could just take one-time payment for the purchase of the additional STB for the 2nd TV and let its monthly viewing charge be free, and charge only for the initial STB for the 1st TV,it would be so much more affordable for all ppl and all will opt for Tata sky only for such a superb offer - wish they would make such an offer!!:redface:
