I am in the South West UK, and am getting the same blocky picture on all ThemeX channels. It started at about 16:00 GMT 17 Feb (2010). There is nothing about this on the 'themex.tv' site.
I sent a message to ThemeX using their 'Contact' page yesterday but have had no reply.
The blocky picture is similar to what happens when there is very heavy rain, and initially I thought it was just weather conditions, but then discovered all other Hotbird channels were working OK.
At about 22:00 hours yesterday the ThemeX channels cleared up and were fine, but that only lasted for a couple of minutes, so I don't think this is a deliberate change in the scrambling method, but more likely a technical fault, possibly a drop in transmitting power.
Has anybody else tried to contact ThemeX yet, and has anyone had a reply?
Is anyone receiving ThemeX OK?
It would be useful to know if this is a regional problem, so could anyone with or without the problem who can post a reply please indicate what region they are in please.
Anyone having the problem should definitely send ThemeX the details using their Contact procedure on
www.themex.tv.
Cheers
