A lot of locals on the island have the TDS service but a lot of people have been looking for alternatives due to dissatisfaction with the service.

New Receivers

If you are a TDS customer, chances are that you have gotten a new receiver from them recently. The old box has been replaced with a new one to improve quality but as is the case with a lot of products, reviews have been mixed.

We have noticed an improvement in image quality when compared to the old receiver because we frequently had channels freeze up or blackout when using that one. But with the new receiver it has been better when looking solely at blackouts or channels locking up. Sound synchronization though still remains an issue with the new box and that is very annoying.

Others however see the new box as a big step back and have noted that the menus have less functionality now and it is something that should be noted if you are a big user of the menus.

    Your basic package says nothing about Spanish, you do offer Spanish television but this one has more channels, so bring back the basic package to ENGLISH! I'm not the only one with this anger, I know some collegues of mine who even consider to quite TDS because of this. Make true what you promise and respond within 48 hours!

    I understand your frustration but I can't help you since I'm not affiliated with TDS. I just post the packages that they offer but I have nothing to do with them. If you have any complaints, you should take it up with them or switch providers.

    Hallo allen,

    Ik heb op veel kanalen een luide bromtoon (50Hz), sinds ik een Nederlandse TV heb (op 220V). Hoe lichter de kleur van het beeld hoe luider de bromtoon. Heeft iemand een idee hoe ik dat eruit kan filteren?
    Kan je de box op de TV aansluiten d.m.v. coax of moet je de RCA kabels gebruiken?
