I am having problem on the channels of the Thor satellite. Satellite man says it is a general problem and we have to wait. Is there anyone who is having the same problem, and is there a way to sort it ?

New codes needed to unscramble channels.
-
If we take our box into where we bought it the man decodes it for free. If we ask him to come to our house it is still only 20ytl.
-
Problem is, satellite man says it is not possible to take them back nowadays. I want to know if there is someone who can watch thor channels at the moment (All Discovery channels, Hallmark, Animal Planet, All National Geographic channels etc.)
-
We are not there at the moment but had all ours retuned last month.
-
most Thor channels came from RCS provider who used Naravision 2 scrambling format, this was hacked 3 years ago, now RCS provider on Thor is switchimg to nagravision 3 formmat, whaich has NOT been hacked!Get yourself a dreambox!!!

As far as I know dreambox is working on internet. What will happen in case of ADSL cuts ?
-
Cenk, yes dreambox runs through your internet modem.If your adsl cuts, you can only get ITV, Channel 4 and news channels.I don't know why we still receive these channels....we just do. ;)
-
Thanks for the answer. It could be a good idea to buy one, where there is a proper internet service. But TTNET service is rubbish here.
-
Thor, Nilesat, lost lots of programs 3rd week in june, every time i ask at shop all i get is we have to wait for new code nos, How bloody long? fed up with seeing notice SIFRELI YAYIN displayed all the time, got a funny feeling ive been ripped off.[:(!]
-
It seems they wont come back. I get same answers as Des got. Fed up and connected Digiturk, for 14.9 TL per month. It has the channels that I want. Premier leauge and other higher packages are free for a month.
-
Thanks for comment Cenk, will pop in and see you and get some info on packages, and who to contact for instalation.[^]
-
Dream box works even up here in Uzumlu and we have worse internet reliability than Fethiye.
We get Digiturk for free, Nilesat, Astra and so many more inc ITV, Sky Sports and Sky Premier films. To be honest there is so much choice you could never get bored.
If internet drops out you can still get a few free channels on Nilesat mostly the MBC channels but we can't get ITV if the ADSL goes down. We only tend to loose it during storms.
We've had it now for a year and are very pleased with it. Ours is on a 1.5mt dish.
Sat watching the ITV news as I type...:D
-
thor wont be back with any new codes as its changed encryption , this is totally different than putting codes in as before
-
What Satellite are you pointed at Fi to get those packages, with BFBS gone, I am looking to reposition mine just need to decide which one.
-
Thor, Dream-box, Satellite Man, wow, sounds like a good starting place for a 'Super-Heroes' series??
Gordy. [:o)]
-
Out after 3 months and we still have quite a few channels on Thor but some are scrambled. Enough for just now so will get them descrambled when we come back in December
-
Corbindallas....you are asking a woman that question...I haven't a clue, a little man set it up....lol
One of them is Eurobird/Astra2A/2B/2C/2D(28.2E)that one we get ITV, Sky sport and Sky film, travel and discovery and hundreds more.
WE have another 3 dishes on the roof which are all in different directions to pick up other satellites.

not sure what limitations a goldmaster box has, but should be able to tune to the free to air channels on nilesat (MBC, Foxmovies etc..).
The encrypted one's will have gone but can't see why free channels won't be viewable.
