I,ve read some posts on ovhd facebook page and people r really critical of ur 'cheap chinese import the elsat ovhd deco vs the SA made altech ovhd from game for R399.I notice the sound quality is extremely poor on ur elsat in comparision to the altech.The picture is also vastly superior on the altech.Some r really critical calling ur stb fong kong.Why is there such a difference in quality.Even ovhd has responded a while ago on a post that the altech ovhd is superior and more technologically abvanced in comparision to the outdated elsat ovhd.Ovhd says elsat is like a old car and altech is new with all the bells and whisils.Also people were having issues like loosing channels with their altech but not anymore after a software upgrade.Also with the altech uec ovhd u can add free to air channels on ses5 such as rt news,dw,cctv,france24 and nhk work wheras with the elsat u cannot add more fta channels as ur stb is transponder locked.So altech is really superior with regards to sound,picture and adding fta channels which the elsat is unable to do.<br> <br> .
Everytime this Openviewhd Altech decoder goes off at the wall the moment it comes on it gives error messeges and blank screens and it,s extremely difficult to solve.Did OVHD not do proper tests to ensure the product met certain quality standards?If the issue is not resolved immediately by Ovhd then there needs to be a mass recall of this Altech ovhd decoder countrywide as it,s defective,does not meet quality standards and is technically compromised.The consumer protection services needs to investigate and OVHD needs to be held accountable for supplying their clients a substandard quality product.
Why is the dstv family package R199pm so woefull(I rather watch paint dry)compared to starsats R199pm package.The difference in quality is absolutely shocking.Starsats R199pm package has channels such as fox,fox crime,starone,i.d,nat geo gold,spark,fx,starseries and much more quality channels.Starsat just launched 5 HD channels.DSTV needs to adapt or perish.I cannot belive that dstv would be so incompetant and expect us to watch this rubbish.I encourage people to dump their dstv and have a look at satrsat as they offer much better value 4 money and their R199pm package is 10 times better than dstv,s.Dstv needs to wake up and smell the coffee.Mediocrity is unacceptable and should never be accepted nor tolerated.
I,ve got the Altech OpenviewHD STB as well as the Elsat S1 OpenviewHD STB and the Elsat model is much more reliable and technically sound compared to the Altech version.Everytime the Altech OVHD STB goes off at the plug point the next time it,s switched back on it gives error messages and it,s a massive procedure to solve.These technical issues do not affect the Elsat S1 model.The Elsat S1 OVHD STB is technically sound.If you buy the Altech OVHD STB it,s going to be extremely unrealible and stress the shit out of you.So Elsat has a much more technically sound stb compared to Altech (really unstable stb).I find it hard to believe that this Altech stb passed all the proper tests to ensure that it is technically sound.Altech was seriously incompetant when producing this stb and now we the customers must suffer.This is totally unacceptable.

My neighbour bought a altec and i notice its much better than mine.elsat is made in china and has poor picture and bad sound.My neighbour brought his altec openviewhd docoder for me to activate.after activation i noticed his picture and sound was much better.He actually laughed at my elsat decoder.I felt humiliated.eliies is made in china and the altec is made in south africa.why did elsat import this bad decoder and then sell it to us.elsat has a lot to answer for.
