How to clear ERROR CODES messages on Free TV or Digital Terrestrial Television is one of the re-occurring problems associated with these terrestrial Digital Boxes in Africa.
This signal related problem can make the Digital Terrestrial TV Boxes to display any of this messages like: Error code 20, Error code 200,Error code 69, Insert sc, Insert smart card.
Any of these ERROR CODES is Service Suspended. This means that, you can only watch the TV channels of the State you are living.
When you switch to other TV channels on your Free TV decoder or DTT, Service Suspended – ERROR CODE message will be display on your TV screen.
In most cases, the procedure on how to solve this problem is not properly communicated to Free TV or DTT owners in Africa.
That is, the awareness on how to clear Error Codes messages is low. This will result to Free TV or DTT owners in Africa searching on the internet, on how to clear ERROR CODES messages on their decoder.
Some people have contacted from South Africa, concerning clearing ERROR CODE on their DTT Set-top Boxes.
Each time they contacted me, I always felt bad, because, I don’t have the capacity to solve their problem. All what I could say is, Default Factory Settings, which in some cases helps.
Causes of Free TV or DTT ERROR CODES
Digital Terrestrial Television uses antenna mask like telecom mask which can be affected by weather, distance, geographical barrier and signal fluctuation.
All this affects FREE TV or DTT signal and as result will trigger any of the ERROR CODE message on FREE TV or DTT receiver.
Another cause I have seen, is when you are using indoor antenna. Indoor antenna have low signal rate.
This low signal rate of indoor antenna, will become more poor, during the raining season.
Which will eventually lead to most Free TV and DTT Set-Top Boxes in Africa to have any one of the ERROR CODES messages.
Low signal quality affect DTT or Free TV which can also lead to ERROR CODE message on your decoder.
