I just renewed my satellite tv card (Pehla) two weeks back and now my channels have stopped working. It gives me an error message ''E16 service is currently scrambled''. How can i get this fixed?
When I reset the service list some TV channels appeared twice in the list. When I tested the reception one was scrambled. How can I delete/remove these second scrambled channels? Thank you.When I reset the service list some TV channels appeared twice in the list. When I tested the reception one was scrambled. How can I delete/remove these second scrambled channels? Thank you.

Your sat card is receiving an update, has missed an update, or is in the
process of being killed. If it doesn't activate after 2hrs, you've
probably
missed the update and will have to call the provider.
If you've got a proper card and have been away a few days with the power
off, call your provider. Next time leave your box powered on, on a
channel
eg movie1 with the card in place.
If you haven't paid your providers account, pay, and call them to get
re-activated.
o.k. check all your connections
if you have a newer house check to see if you have a main hub in a
closet somewhere and check all connections. Check your hd receiver and
you may be able to chage the DPI the receiver receives in.
I have this problem on some of my non HD channels, also. So much for going digital. I get fuzz and pixel problems "from time to time", but, if it is really bad and consistent your should call your service provider.
Things to ask also ? are you using cable or satellite.
If satellite T.V. there are other reasons you could be experiencing problems.
You need a receiver for each TV you want to receive the reception on. Your dish receives the broadcast signal from the network and your receiver decodes and recodes the signal to view on your TV. The companies have created their own proprietary equipment to accomplish this to keep anyone and everyone from simply installing their own dish and receiving all of their broadcast channels for FREE. In the olden days when satellite and cable TV was new, that is exactly what people did. Remember those gigantic dishes some people installed in their yards? They would intercept the signals coming from the satellites and hook up directly to their TVs. The companies got smart and started to scramble the signals going up to the satellites to make these home owner dishes obsolete. Because the signals are scrambled, you now need a receiver to un-scramble the signal. I hope this helps and good luck. Please remember to vote if you found this helpful. Thanks.
I assume you have cable. The cable HD and digital channels are usually sent in Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM). The cable companies are required to send local channels in the clear but not so for any others. Regular (basic) channels may be clear or scrambled. USA many not be but HBO will be.
So you have 1 of 2 problems: (1) your TV does not do QAM or (2) they have scrambled the channels you want to see. Questions: (1) Have tried direct Over-the-Air (OTA, ATSC) reception for your locals? (2) Can you see the HD local channels on cable? (3) Are you paying for an HD box from the cable company to have the channels decoded? If in doubt contact the cable company.
Current Samsung TVs do do QAM and OTA HD. Alternatives are Dish or Direct to get satellite with an HD receiver using HDMI or 5-cable RCA. Costs are comparable but OTA wins, hands down.
-Ken
the variation from higher channels from lower channels, few things changes eg frequency, voltage, and current.
take your tv to a w/shop and have the following
tunner voltage pulse variation on a avo meter has you change channels. if the difference of voltage is not unform when you are changing from to channel then you should change the control ic on the rf stage or check the capacitors a round the rf ic for variations in value.
Most tv setups require that you change the input source to gain the ability to watch the proper peripheral e.g. if satellite is connected on video one and the dvd is connected to the tv on another input such as video 2.
If the satellite runs into the dvd unit and from there the dvd is connected to tv you may have to power off or on the dvd player to resolve conflict.
Another problem may be the resolution setting if your tv is Hi Def. Set the tv and receiver to the resolution e.g. 1080i.
You can also changed the way the satellite is connected to the tv possibly if you have other inputs.
Check the channel also, if the unit is connected with coax it would more than likely need to be on ch 3 or 4 if you are at the satellite receiver box location. If you are at a stand alone tv off of a dual tuner you may need to search the channels for the right source both air(analog) and cable(digital).
Hope this helps you out. If I can be of more assistance let me know.
