Ya I have heard the same. There are no current plans for another HD channel.
R3500 Pissed away. I think they should be forced to put a "BTW its a piece of CRAP" sticker on the box of every new HD decoder. Theyre No 3 on my list:
My Current S**T list:
1. BSmart Telecom / Nexgen Telecom ( Oh I'm getting ready to share this!! Just Wait)
2. Neotel
3. DSTV
4. Chery SA
5. Telkom
I have also heard that there are 3 new channels planned to be launched in the next 6 months alongside some alternative choices for HD Decoders, one of which is expected to be ~R2000 and requires only a Twin LNB making it much cheaper (obviously has its limitations - but I don't need to "watch 2 record 1 channel").
