Well you see, you're forgetting that Multichoice has to pay for those rights in dollars as well, so yeah sadly it does matter. Just because it's here locally, doesn't mean they get any special prices for the stuff they license. Why do you think the SABC and e-tv don't show much newer international stuff and sport? They don't have the money.The worst part of these articles is when they say "In random country it costs Rxxx for the same thing and it is more expensive than DSTV" They forget to mention the purchasing power in that country or that the average South Afican spends 40% of their salary on groceries vs said country that only spends 15%. Direct comparisons don't work.
These DSTV "articles" should all be titled 'Once again Multichoice paid us money to convince you that you should give them money for terrible TV'
