Sentech can confirm that e.tv is temporarily unavailable on the bouquet of channels offered on the company’s Vivid Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite service. Technical improvements are being made to improve the security of the service.

An article titled “pay up or no tv” that appeared on the Swazi Observer on 17 June 2009 reported that a blackout of television channels would be experienced soon as a result of Sentech upgrading its digitalisation system in preparation for 2010.
