Tata Sky - Colour problem

mark666
By mark666

I have installed Tata Sky at my place. Everything's fine and I am happy with the daily dose of Indian Stock Market news and Cartoon Network.
1 MAJOR issue- All in Black and White.

When I turn off the decoder, remove all connections , re-insert the Card and restart, I get amazing color quality for exactly 8 minutes max!Then it just switches to black n white.

Have spent 2 whole EID holidays in figuring this out, but in vain...:-(

Any help will be appreciated. On success in getting back all colour for good, a home-made treat or a Sweet gift from Bateel is assured.

Awaiting some useful advice eagerly...

You've gotta be kidding!

QL has threads and posts discussings and revealing facts for over a million issues that are illegal in Qatar.

Try doing a quick search on tatasky on this site and you will know what I mean.

Cheers!

Whoever told you to remove the card from the receiver??? I was strictly told by installation guy in Bombay not to do so.

I've had Tatasky receiver since November 2006, absolutely no problem except during heavy cloud cover. Even those days, the signals would just go off, not black & white pictures.

Don't think this problem is due to bad signals or something. This could be because of faulty receiver too.

Why don't you ask one of your friends to call up tatasky and check whats with the problem. Alternatively, you may ask them to re-send the signals.

Finally, I know its a little stupid, try to change the video (yellow) cable connection from your receiver to the TV. LOL.

If all don't check out with a satellite guy, I seriously doubt, if they would be of any great help besides re aligning the dish.
