Cape Town TV (CTV)

It might come as a suprisew but even the poorest households in the townships have DVD players- last time I checked they were giving them away for about R299.

The only people still with VCR's are those with massive movie collections on VHS- who couldn't be arsed about moving onto DVD considering their "investment".

Another surprise is that those who want to record something from TV and can't afford +2000 for a DVD recorder or a PVR are using VCR's.
 
ever heard of the following devices:

- HD TV
- DVD
- Blu ray Disk player
- Mediacenter Device (Xbox for example)
- Digital television etc...

By saving some money, since u can log onto myadsl.co.za, I'd assume it won't take u long, buy any of the above and through that thing u call a VCR away..

or u could just connect the antenna directly to the VCR and use digital cables to tranfer the signal to the television...:-)

or something like that....

Excuse me ever heard of money? For a lot of people they can not afford to spend $$$ on a brand new HDTV (btw for a few channels oh and of cause its a known thing the HD PVR has less features than the SD PVR)

Btw I have heard of a DVD player, have two actually, they can only play media not record tv shows onto them.

Blu Ray yes I know those, those wonderful devices plagued with DRM not to mention the discs are double the price of DVD's.

Media Center device, I am actually planning to setup one of those next year.

Of cause considering the fact the channel aims to provide television for those who earn less than R2500, I think they have more important things to do with their money than go buy out a new recording device.

Thing is no matter what the excuse is, VCR"s still do exist and CTV should not be broadcasting on a frequency that they use. It is common sense.

BTW what does logging onto Myadsl have to do with things, please stay on topic.

I can't believe anyone (who still uses a VCR) uses the RF output on their VCR for playback.
 
since they started the tv channels we recieve have all gone slightly crappy :( and it use to be crystal clear :(

only thing interesting on there is late night documentaries tho sometimes it sucks or stupid or they stop it in the middle of nowhere and play something else :eek:

If you're all about recording stuff off tv, I can direct you to the nearest HiFi Corp where you can probably find a cheap DVD Recorder, with a built-in tv tuner, for under R1000.
