Videocon D2H — Repeated error message smart card not inserted properly (E04) and sub standard set top box | |||
I am a consumer of Videocon d2h.My customer id no is 77943190 and I have raised a complain for error messagesmart card not inserted properly (E04) with the customer care department andthe complain number is[protected]. The said error pops up three to four times ina day. Two out of three different engineers who visited to correct the errorhave suggested that the set top box cannot be repaired and we have to buy a newone or replace the existing one. I feel the product given (set top box) is ofvery sub standard quality and the d2h representative are marketing their new productand trying to fool the consumer to buy their new products. It’s a waste of timeto call the call center each time that do the tweaking to the box when theerror pops up. I have already recharged my account till 2016 and hence they aretaking advantage of the situation and not adhering to the solution. Was this information helpful? | |||

True that
Same thing is happening to my connection wid customer id=90928640. can anybody help me out?
I am also facing similar problem E04-4 problem, video con customer care people appointed a technician he suggested we need to change the set top box, please suggest what steps we need to take ???
Even I am facing the same. When I called the customer care, they supposedly tried to reset it and nothing worked out on which their usual solution is that they will be sending a technician. Never in my experience of 4 years, has the technician visited in just one call attempt. So this time, I might just get rid of this connection unless you provide me with some solution that worked for you.
I am using videocon d2h service since 3 years, since one month I am getting error message E04-4 smart card not inserted properly. Not only me in our complex 5 users are getting same error message 5-6 times a day. Customer care executive is not able to solve the issue, they are recommending engineer visit but we need to Pay 200/- RS for that! I'm paying 750 RS for the HD package and since 3 days I'm not able to view any thing. Their home channels are working fine
If any technical problem at our end then nothing should work right? When my neighbour complained they removed home channel too! And for engineer visit they have deducted 400/-RS from the account
I have already complained, waiting for their response Orelse will shift to tatasky

Me to they want us to pay 200 rs extra almost every two month due to the problem with their box e04-4 or e06 or similare error ... made a mistake purchasing videocon D2H
I am also facing similar issue asking to re-insert smart card every time. Moreover the moment the weather is cloudy it pops up message that service is unavailable due to "HEAVY RAIN". Now the major concern is why the hell should I pay Rs200 for engineer visit. Its recommended by customer care executive for engineer visit because they are unable to resolve the issue on phone and also these idiots don't know how to resolve the issue. Simply they will ask to remove the set top box. (Have never paid anything in case of broadband failure and anything like that). I am surely moving to consumer court for such kind of service and having business due to human compulsion.

You are right Mr Ramesh these idots are unable to provide the support and ask us to pay visit charges and needs to get it rectify mannually, We should charge FIR against these corrupt companies .
It ia understood that if system is showing error of E 04 that means no engineer visit is required error is already rectify by system and team should provise us the support on telephone...
They are making fool of the customers

Dear All,
Even I am facing the same issue. They are asking ne to pay Rs 200 for engineer visit. But my question is if their is any hardware problem setup box, even their own channels shouldn't come. All of Videocon own channel such as Home Channel 1, etc are working seamlessly.
Unfortunately I have reachred it by Rs 500 only couple if days back. Once my this recharge is exhausted, I am moving to new DTH provider.
Useless customer care who are always trying to leach customers.

I am also facing similar issue asking to re-insert smart card every time. After repetitive call, a engineer visited and said smart card has to be changed and it will cost 1000 rupees. After i agreed, he brings a new card and inserts that and later says TV board is gone and it will cost 7000 rupees. How come the home channels were working fine if the board is gone? Last year also i had the same issue and replaced the board. once in a year i face this issue and they are making fool o[censored]s with unnecessary reasons.

I Had Been Using Dish Tv 4 Years Back. But My Friends Told Me To Buy VD2H So I Bought It Thinking It's Good. But Later On I Realized That These Cheats Don't Come On Time And Constantly It Shows Smart Card Not Inserted Properly. When I Called The Customer Care They Told Us Engineer Would Visit Us For Free Of Cost. But Then The NexT Day I Gotta Call From The Local VD2H Provider That I Should Get The Set Top Box To Their Office And If I Need The Engineer To Visit My Place I Then I Need To Pay 200Rs. FIR Needs To Be Filed Against These Cheats.

I had been facing the same problem(re-insert smart card) since morning. i recharged for 3 months couple of days back. During last 3 years, I have replaced setup box twice and they are asking for Rs.200/-. it is hardware issue and they have to sort it out why we should pay everytime for engineer visit. They are using poor quality of setup box.

I am facing the same issue. Smart card not inserted properly problem.
In my box there is no visible smart card, so I have to restart it at least 10 times a day to get it working.
Smart card is inside the box which we can't access to, but somehow it works when we give it a restart.
Home channels are working fine and other channel works for not more than 30 min after each restart . If smart card is damaged or not inserted properly then how this channels work?
I have not yet called customer care but from above posts it is clear that they are going to charge for it.
What should I do guys?
I have 1 year plan activated.

I have called customer care so many time they simply ask to pay visit charge every time without knowing our problem and they cann't tell where is smart card appear if our STB does contain, but now from above posts it is clear that they cheating the customer. I think we have to go to consumer form for these type of issue.
