Rapidshare is all good and well but it still does not help us sport lovers, anyone paying 539 for dstv that does not watch sport though is a bit well ummm a nice word hmmmm silly :D.

I cannot live without my footie, f1, moto gp, rugby, cricket etc.

The Municipal rate increase will also kick in soon - people will need to balance their budgets carefully - pay for the lights or pay for DSTV...

Choice will be easy - no power, no DSTV!
 
i actually downgraded to compact today, in anticipation of ODM/TOPTV

Screw monochoice, i will stream my sport online.
 
We've cancelled our DStv :D They can go screw themselves! I hardly watch TV anyway.
 
I downgraded to Select 5 months ago ... and I'm happy ... it has Nat Geo and CNN and Universal ... the only channels I ever watched when I was on Premium. But looking at going over to ODM for something new.
 
Yeah, R600 is a rip-off, but what else do you do if you're a sports fan? Live streaming isn't really an option, and ODM won't help, so I guess we've got to just bend over and take it like a man!

why is there an access fee for PVR ????? This makes no sense to me? As a consumer you already ***ked out 3k-4k for the hardware!?

Not only is there an access fee - should you cancel your DSTV service you can't view the programmes you previously recorded onto your DVR anymore. That R4k is useless then.
 
I downgraded to Compact, but haven't watched any DSTV this month, so will probably go down to the Select packages @ half the price, but I think PVR does not work on the lower packages.

If you are a sports fan, then R 600 is not too bad, since the bar would be more expensive, plus you get the latest and greatest for that price, I on the other hand get shows 6 months to a year after it aired in America, which is dumb.
 
I don't think R600 is too bad, even if its just for the sport. I watch a crud load of sport.

Seems like a dumb move when TopTV are broadcasting from May onwards

agreed- I cant actually see any compact subscribers staying- that service is really just an entrance in, in the hope that people will enjoy it and then switch to premium- They have only given you the worst channel in each category, and now its the same price as ODM's premium subscription.

I must say for sport fans, R 600 is not bad. If I was a big sport fanatic I would not worry about R 600, but I only watch when the Bulls play and when the Boks kick some ass, and that is always better at a mate's house with beer and a braai anyway.
