Live English Premier League football. That's what I pay for. Oh, and the Tour de France isn't half bad.

 

Nat Geo, Nat Geo Wild, Discovery, BBC Knowledge and Animal Planet are also worth it for me. Other than that, what a load of rubbish (repeated, repeated, repeated)!

People can threaten all they like but this will never happen. They need their fix everynight. Like all the uptight tannies threatning to cancel their dstv if they start the porn channel...yeah right. They will get withdrawl symptoms after the first episode of villa rosa they missed.

R630 ??

 

So a R130 increase ??

 

Compare that to ESCOM price increase and its a bargain.

 

f'ked.

Would be much better if you could choose which channels you want and only pay per channel

+1 for Pay per channel.

Because the other bouquets they got just give you crap channels anyway, so you can't relay downgrade to those.

[ASTANA]

If they decide to do the per channel thing they will make it so expensive that you would rather want to take the package in any case.

 

I guess they would have a minimum amount of channels you must take or some default channels plus your selection or something like this.

 

Either way - it will be better than what we sit with now.

 

LOADS of crap on other channels with a very few channels making it worth while and SPORT -- aah the sport

I don't have dstv, so I've probably got the details wrong.

 

But from what I read the increase is R30 or 6% and last increase was a year ago.... seems pretty standard. Seriously a poll was created for this?

And who is going to vote "Good", ever on price increase?

Ditched DSTV a year ago and replaced it with an uncapped ADSL account, now get all the progs i want, plus all the sport from BBC using a british proxy.  Can honestly say i have never missed DSTV one little bit

[kosmonooit]

ditto above but it would be nice if one could find local cycling programmes on the torrents ...  or on demand at a nominal subscription .

Never had DSTV, although I have been forced to pay SABC TV licence, I never watch it at all  if fact would sooner take a slide down the edge of a razor blade. 

[Wheelsuck]

How much do u pay for the subs if u have PVR, was thinking of it but guess with Eksdom  and Petrol and the subsequent consumer hikes, that's off the list. 

[Stretch]

to be quite honest, mnet has always provided me with the requisite sport matches, occasional movie or series, and ktv for the kids. Not that we watch much TV - but what it offers is enough. People often tell me "why not pay that extra 230 odd and you'll get everything" - the reason - cos i'll bee paying 230 bucks for repeats!! so i'll happilly pay my R270, sorry, R285 from 1 April

[Guest Big H]

Employer pays for the DSTV..... has already been paid for 12 months in advance

[Thug]

unfortunately there is no viable alternative and until there is DSTV have a captive market.
