RE: Are we still to expect eTV channel from South Africa on Strong? or is it gone for good?
On the Sentech Website which runs the e-TV platform it says the following:
e.tv temporarily unavailable on Vivid platform
Sentech can confirm that e.tv is temporarily unavailable on the bouquet of channels offered on the company’s Vivid Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite service. Technical improvements are being made to improve the security of the service.
The Vivid service is available in Sub-Saharan Africa for viewers who purchase the Vivid decoders.
Vivid viewers in South Africa receive e.tv on a free-access basis as part of Sentech’s Vivid bouquet. However, the Vivid platform is carried by satellite and the broadcast footprint therefore extends into Sub-Saharan Africa.
Historically, the encryption software used in the Vivid decoder, protected the geographic integrity of the e.tv offering service outside of South Africa’s borders. Sentech have now learnt that this encryption software has been compromised and needs to secure the feed.
