Anyone else getting these two channels blocked with message saying couldn't process recent payment?  Only two channels blocked and I have paid the bill.

Hope they figure this out soon. We get only a few English speaking channels and now two are blocked.

Telecable and Megacable have merged and now merged again with Izzys (sp).  Don't expect this to be fixed any time soon.  They have become one of the worst vendors anywhere. 

Megacable didn't merge with telecable. Megacable is still an other company. Telecable however did merge with izzi which is a mess. But these english channels often get offline. Mostly passing the weekend it get solved.

Telecable is pathetic.  We dropped it and download our TV programs from the internet and play them on our TV through an O!Play box.  You can also hook most newer TVs up direct to a computer or Apple device and play that way.

 

We tried USTvNow. Liked it, but even paying for higher speed Internet, the shows spooled for 10 seconds, 

played for 20 seconds, and spooled agin. Guess we will be trying something else.

Remember that channels 84, 85, 86, 87 comes from US DISH TV. They are received on a 2.4 meter dish at the West Chapala Telecable office. Often on the weekends when the techies are not there two to four of the 4 channels go down. Once a technician gets there on Monday they have always in the past fixed the problem. I will be one block away Monday morning and will drop by the office and see if there are any changes to these channels or if its the typical weekend problem.

Remember that it was about 6 years ago that the US and Canada went from analog to digital channels. Well so did Mexico. It's just that in Mexico they left the old fashioned analog channels working but added digital. They now broadcast many English language channels on the Telecable Digital channels 101 to 999.

The digital channels are in standard definition and HD. For example you can watch CNN in either standard definition on channel 608 or HD on 782 Heck they even have the Playboy cannel in standard definition on channel 790 and HD on 789. They have the BBC, HLN, Fox news, you name it in English

And many of their other programs from HBO Cinemax, TNT, NFL, ESPN, Fox sports, Disney etc that broadcast in English if you choose the SAP or secondary audio program on your receiver.

I dropped by the Telecable office today and the technician stated that as soon as they can figure out what to do, that they will fix the problem. Assuming they can fix the problem they will continue to provide the 4 US networks and have no plans to stop broadcasting them.

This is scary. The technicians would usually when they arrived on a Monday get the network channels working. Now all four are off the air. Sure hope they are able to fix the problem

 

UPDATE   Well the technicians did get things going again but sadly only as it was yesterday with two of the four channels working
