why don't they get a good channel,,, like Sci-Fi instead of more kids crap???

'DStv platform translates into more choice and deeper enjoyment for our subscribers'

For whom? The kiddies???? ****em.
 
Yeah Sci-Fi channel was one of the best reasons to get DSTV. Or maybe even get Comedy Central or HBO. Instead they're adding more of the same things that we already have.
 
#1 Bring back sci-fi. I fail to understand how a 3rd/4th children's channel can be more economically viable than the Sci-Fi channel. Us geeks have way more moola than the kiddies, and often are not able to breed... :D

#2 I can see DSTV farking this up by running unsuitable advertisements - such as they have done on Cartoon Network in the past.

#3 Can you say "endless reruns". Images of Mythbusters being shown EVERY FARKIN day at 8pm come to mind.

So, I'll withhold my screams of joy for now.

Agreed. Back in the dark ages, when I was still single(ish), I got DSTV only because of that channel - and then they cancelled it. Now, the wife likes her "shows" and we have kept it. Had I still been single, I would now have no DSTV and an IS news account ;)
 
Dstv disney channel

I pay over r400 for dstv a month, dont want to have more children channels.There must be other channels that they can get from the UK.I'm sick of the repeats we have to see.
 
I will keep one family member happy... now I just need a 3 way PVR decoder, but hey... it gives me more time for WoW :)
 
come on guys, watch more BBC/CNN, there are no repeats, new bombs every day :D
 
Agh - the little one will love it but I'd prefer something like the sci-fi channel.
 
Give us American SCI-FI channel , or maybe some channels like FOX etc.. So that we can watch stuff like Stargate SG1/Atlantis,Lost,The 4400 up to date, sametime :>>>
 
I wouldn't mind stuff like Gummi Bears, Ducktales, Tailspin etc. on the Disney channel.

But damn, at least give us Sci-Fi back, and try and get HBO and Comedy Central!
