DStv adds Compact, Premium channels

[Skerminkel]

You bunch just have to complain in principle, don't you?

Anyway, what is VH1 Classic? Being VH1, I assume it is not proper classical music?

Edit: From Wikipedia:
"...and primarily features music videos and concert footage from the 1970s through the mid-1990s,..."

So lots of Queen and Meatloaf.

 

[binkybozo]

I will watch VH1 Classics. I am not a huge fan of the current music playing.

 

[kdub]

probably a whole bunch of free (included) channels they have been sitting on and now they have the capacity to include them?

Another load of crap channels.

 

[ichigo]

Yep bad channels and definitely won't be watching those and 90% of the channels are crap on premium

 

[Nive~k]

RIP Pop, rock, alt
The only channel that had current decent music was Vh1 now that's all gone.

Trace- **** rap and hip hop,r&b
Mk- **** local music with rarely decent music
MTV - burn in hell
Channel O- no comment

VH1 Classic is the only addition to my premium subscription that I will use

Another load of crap channels.

Nat geo wild is pretty cool for compact users,wonder why they included it right at the bottom of the list?!!!

 

[KleinBoontjie]

Why is people going on a about NatGeo Wild, it's a cool channel in other countries, here it will probably be a South African-watered down-version of the real thing. Like all the rest from NatGeo to Nickelodeon. I saw the Nickelodeon in America and its far better than the re-run version we got.

Guys, whats not in the article are what channels they are REMOVING

TCM and the home channel are being removed.

My wife is now proceeding to cancel her compact subscription entirely.

 

[The_Ogre]

What utter shiit is this????

They can take that *** and shove it. Rather give us an adult channel

Well it may not be perfect but on premium its pretty good, i enjoy it alot more than animal planet and the other nat geo program.

WOW... that's a really bad trade. Are they being removed completely or just on compact ?
