Al Jazeera Sports Irdeto error: E16 Service is currently scrambled.

BobaFett77

Hi everyone.

I have an Iredto card for Al Jazeera Sports +1 to +8, which I watch on Hotbird E13°.

I bought the card + Irdeto CAM in September. The card worked fine immediately, but after just 2 weeks I suddenly got the error message "E16 Service is currently scrambled." on all channels. (Well, on some it said E19 instead, but with the same text)

I contacted the merchant from which I bought the card + CAM and he resent the signal. I had to leave my receiver on AJS +1 while he resent the signal and then image and sound came back on all channels.

However the problem remained that the E16 error message reappeared when I hadn't watched one of the channels for a couple of hours or more. But the message always disappeared on its own after a few seconds up to a few minutes during the last month, so I could live with that, as I only had to wait for a short time for the image on the channels to appear.

Today I'm back to the situation I was in one month ago: All channels are black and I get the E16 error, but it won't disappear on its own. Today I already contacted the merchant who sold me the card + CAM and had him resend the signal, while I left my receiver turned on JSC Sports +1. So far that hasn't helped yet.

I'll leave the receiver on the +1 channel today and just hope that the signal will come through later.

But is this the way it is supposed to work? And what do I do if the screen stays black? Of course I'll have to contact my merchant again then.. *sigh*

Anyone else having these problems? Or any idea what causes them?

BTW this is the CAM I am using: http://www.techdigital.co.uk/products/Smit-Irdeto-CAM.html

Hi

I'm having exact same issues, also happened in September and signal was resent to get channels back. My Al Jazeera Sports channels were also off this morning so I have to contact Tech Digital again.

I know how frustrated you are, hopefully this is sorted soon.

same problem here and same seller. Wont be buying an irdeto card ever again, this constant updates crap is a joke when your using a motorised satellite dish.

Its the smit cam. Ive heard these are the worse cams ever, the viaccess one is even worse. Sometimes its always best to have a multicypt receiver able to accept the card.

i'm using a dreambox and not a cam, techdigital said it was al jazeera that are having problems. They resent the signal so was all ok a while after I emailed them.
