    • If you get error E06 on the screen, (E06) – Card is not authorised (20) – Channels not subscribed, you will need to reactivate the decoder or clear the error:

      1. Go to channel 100.
      2. Dial the number (*120*6843*1#) on the bottom right-hand corner of your screen using a cell phone.
      3. Select option 2 to cleat error codes and follow prompts.

  16. Hello, i’m experiencing a problem with my my OVHD openview decoder: on my screen it shows “Error message E11 security problem, please contact customer care center”.
    So what should i do? I phoned, nothing happened and i was one of your first customers when you launched. Now that you’ve upgraded you decided that we dont matter anymore… yet we bought it first, now we sitting with no tv stations to watch, not even sabc is working on our tv, and yet we spend R300 on the OVHD DECODER ALREADY! NOW YOU EXPECT WE MUST BUY A NEW ONE, WHICH COST R600 ALREADY, WHICH WE DONT HAVE AND IF WE MUST BUY ONE, THAN IT MEANS WE ACTUALLY SPENDING R900 ON OVHD DECORDERS, WHICH ITS TOTALLY UNFAIR, AND YET WE WHERE YOUR FIRST CUSTOMERS! INSTEAD OF DOING A TRADE IN AND A R300 FEE FOR YOUR NEW UPGRADED OVHD DECODER THAT WHAT YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO DO… SO WHAT SHOULD WE DO WITH OUR DECODER, NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT, MUST WE THROW IT IN THE BIN A R300 Thing that we bought because of you? which we shouldnt have bought in the first place, because see what is happening to us now… which you are entirely to be blamed for! So give me a solution to my problem please, im waiting for your reply and please dont ignore me like you’re used to doing when this question comes up
