I've never had DSTV before and can't say I'm missing anything, I hardly watch any TV anyway. If they lowered their price to say R200 a month I would consider getting it, just to have something to watch when I'm really bored. But for over R600 a month I can just use my ADSL line to keep me entertained.

Nuts - its almost cheaper to get 4Mbps uncapped, with a uncapped Astraweb account! 
Factor in Telephone line rental, adsl line rental, isp, computer running 24/7 if you dont have smart TV, subs to VPN etc etc.
How much would that add up to ?
If you have dsl already it's a no brainer, I actually use the works internet to sometimes download stuff.
Also want to get rid of DSTV but love the fishing shows and kid watches CBBeebies stuff.

Not comparing content on DSTV and usenet services, here's a purely cost analysis (based on my own personal rationale). Assuming new price is R695 (per dstv forums) and assuming you already have a Telkom line and are paying the standard line rental without any DSL.
The fastest way to get "stuff" for your TV is having a decent internet connection:
1) 4mbps line, uncapped 4mbps mweb premium account, unlimited usenet account = R425 + R539 + R90 = R1054/month (R359 more than DSTV)
Now assuming you only have a 1mbps uncapped account with said ISP:
2) 1mbps line, uncapped 1mbps mweb premium account, unlimited usenet account = R165 + R199 + R90 = R454/month
But 1mbps is way too slow to download reasonable quality in reasonable time so you might choose the mixed option, some content from DSTV and the rest downloaded (albeit slowly):
DSTV, 1mbps line, uncapped 1mbps mweb premium account, unlimited usenet account = R695 + R165 + R199 + R90 = R1,149 (R95 more than 4mbps uncapped)
So in pure price terms, 4mbps has a slight advantage to having DSTV and a 1mbps account. In terms of convenience, I believe the combination is a winner. No reliance on internet connection (ISP throttling, DSLAM congestion, Telkom line quality, DMCA takedowns, NZB cults etc.) for all television entertainment, good picture quality even on large screens (except for those with a trained eye), almost all content available (some maybe not immediately but available nonetheless), no need to sign up for a random collection of streaming services to see live coverage, and very little knowledge required to get everything setup.
BTW before anyone gets on their horse, this is just my opinion.

I think that's a valid opinion.
Of course another option would be 1mbps uncapped adsl for those who don't necessarily need everything in full HD or who don't have time to watch 10 series concurrently and don't have any interest in sport for R695 cheaper than option 2. Using torrents instead of usenet and it's only R364.

Stream from Supersport. Altho you don't have the luxury of selecting anything other than what they offer on stream.
Just register online while you still got premium then cancel and it should still work. Works for me still and haven't had dstv for a good few years now

This solution does work like a bomb...until numerous people start logging on to the same stream. Then it starts sticking like a mofo. Don't know if you've experienced this issue... It really is very frustrating
Care to explain?

Search for threads on DStv price increases over the past few years and you'll see why. Lots of people immediately shouting "I'm going to cancel and {insert various alternatives}", all of which makes me wonder why you have DStv to begin with?

Uncapped Astraweb?
DSTV is much simplier. Only rain can seriously disrupt services. On the other hand many things can go wrong.
I am a fan of DSTV, and always have to smile at all the complaints. Yes, off course DSTV ask to much, but they can, because they have no competition, and have a monopoly. That you can't blame them for, blame the lame government.
But, even so, I pay it gladly, and actually, I would pay more, gladly.
Lets break it down, about R700 for Premium + Dual view + PVR. That equates to about R23.33 per day, over 30 days.
I have to laugh that many people will think nothing of buying a R200,000 car, a 1 to 2 million rand house. Think nothing of blowing R500 for a dinner in 'n a restaurant. Don't break a sweat for pay R700 for perfume, or R1,500 to get hair done or colored.
No problem to spend R5,000 going shopping. No problem going to the movies, forking out R200 for one movie + pop corn for 2 people.
Yet, same people will moan at DSTV cost, R23.33 a month. Really. The solution is simple, don't buy a R200,000 car, take a R160,000 one instead, and you have paid for DSTV. Doing just that you have paid for your DSTV for the next five years.
It just astounds me how people can cry to high heaven at R700 a month, yet have no problem blowing R25,000 on bond, car and credit car debt.
And the streaming fanatics, yeah yeah, I know, there is a world there where you can get enough whatever, only problem is, you're gona pay more than R700 a month, easy. Sure, you can get more, but, there is only 24 hours a day, what you gona do, use all 24 hours to watch tv.
No matter what who says, I am an Mnet and DSTV fan since they started in 1986, and the sheer thought that they might never have existed and we only had SABC and Etv today, scares me to death.
DSTV for what they give, the R700 is fair. Do you think getting all that sport comes for free. Sure, they ask about double or maybe triple than they should, but think about it, they can easily ask much more than they do now. They can double their subscription, even if 50% of all people leave, they still break even money wise.
You people don't think outside the box, I know what it is, you want it for free, right

We need service providers to offer alternative packages, or custom packages. Why do you have certain SuperSport channels on certain packages? e.g SS2-4 on Compact? Gimme SS1 alone, I don't watch soccer.
Alternatively, give me PAY-PER-VIEW.
Lots of valid points raised in this tread. Food for thought. I am also stuck with DSTV due to my love for rugby and kiddies watching CBeeBies and Disney Jr stuff.
Might jump ship soon though. Uncapped ADSL is looking like the way to go in an online world with video-on-demand via streaming on dunno how many sites/channels. I want to watch a show I want to watch when I have time, its a new age, the information age. Live sport obviously differs.
Wish SkySports could offer an alternative, but they already have friends at Multichoice. Anyone got Virgin Boss's e-mail?

Fair enough. I cancelled DSTV years ago. I can't bear to put up with the absolute drivel they broadcast on 90% of the channels. The other 9% is just repeats of the watchable 1%. The adverts are extremely annoying. In essense it just wasn't what I would expect from a premium service. ADSL 1mb can be had for a lot less than a DSTV premium subscription and you can easily download more decent content than what DSTV has on in any given month (and more than you need to watch anyway).
To me my all dancing, streaming, downloading XBMC/Plex setup, home theatre (40k+) and other other media at home is worth far more to me than having to put up with whatever rubbish happens to be on DSTV at the time and not being able to do what I want with it.

Well well well... Some people like being ripped off..
I spent 10 years in the UK and had SKY and in that time i think it went up twice by a couple of pound...
my SKY for everything except Sports was £22 per month in 2000 today that same package is £26pm approx R300 or in real terms R150 per month as you earn much more in the UK
We also in 2007 received a SKY+ box (PVR in dstv) for FREE and FREE installation ... they tried to charge extra per month for the SKY+ but this was dropped after a couple of months as people complained...
Plus as a SKY customer you get 16mps uncapped ADSL and a phone line for £5 per month
Sky+ for £26 per month or R150 in reality
Free installation and FREE PVR or HD PVR plus £25 Woolworths voucher
http://www.sky.com/shop/tv/entertainment-extra/
Still feel yourself a fan of DSTV ?
Also if you take the full package of Sports and Movies for £55 per month or in reality R400
and you get all this
