DSTV Rant Thread...

[Kaleb]

ok look we can all argue till the cows come home about which sport is better , bottomline is that each persons taste different than that of the other person. I played rugby in school and I am a loyal sharks supporters however there is something about the nfl game that I just prefer. Also glancing at an nfl game on tv doesnt count as '' watching it'' If I had to do that in the begining I would also proberbly think it was a crap game for sissies , you need to understand exactly how the game works to really enjoy it. ( kinda like golf).


Anyway back on Topic , I am going to cancel my dstv account and just use that for extra broadband.

Ravens FTW.
Seems to me that we'll be watching TEN v BAL on Saturday and PIT v SD on Sunday. Time slots on the DSTV guide is set out for games at 23:30 on both nights.

thanks so much


Im praying for a Baltimore vs Steelers AFC title game next weekend .

Will be an awesome game with two mean defenses. But, I'd rather see the chargers there, just for that little bit of extra offensive firepower.

Ok ok, can you namsy-pambies take your gayme to another thread now please?

It is a matter of personal preference. Having understood (to a lesser degree than Americans) and having attended a NFL game, I personally found it far more boring than rugby. Again, personal preference...

Yay - go Steeler!!!

I dont see the Chargers making it that far,esp without Ladainian Tomlinson , and I will be pissed off if Coach Norv Turner gets them into the Superbowl.


Anway I will create a seperate thread on Game night on saturday .

I shall wade in with my own personal opinion..

NFL is a sport for sissies with their damn body armour who can't play a game for a full 40 minutes each half without having to switch out sides etc etc etc... Its also just k@k and boring... same like baseball and basketball... k@k and boring. How people can get obsessed over them I do not understand.

Not one decent thing on DSTV tonight as far as I can tell...

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

Sons of Anarchy is looking like the only good thing .....

Never seen it....

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

that's just doff then .... very good show that's been on for over a month already.

 

[Kaleb]

Only thing I would watch tonight on tv is a repeat of Burn Notice at 8pm on the action channel, then I would hit the sack.

 

[DJ...]

That's the crux of the issue - repeats of repeats of repeats. Seen the whole of season 1 of Burn Notice on DSTV - and they're repeating the entire series immediately afterwards on a different channel. Bunch of tossers!!!

 

[Kaleb]

I would really like to know when they will start showing season 3 of Dexter.Actually I dont really care I would rather download it instead of having to wait months for it.

 

[ToxicBunny]

BBC Lifestyle currently have Grand Designs on... but yup.. its a repeat...

And no, I still haven't had a response from DSTV...

A very snotty and irate follow up email shall be following shortly.

 

[DJ...]

Don't even get me started on BBC Lifestyle - they're showing repeats of shows that were already being repeated before they re-branded from Carlton Food Network. They have a few new shows now, which are all complete and are being repeated now. Masterchef - all repeats. Great British Menu - all repeats of repeated episodes that were repeated the year before last and last year as well. In Search of Perfection - now all repeats. Hidden Potential - repeated 4 times a bloody day! And the list goes on...

 

[kingmonty]

And just as I thought they couldn't stoop any lower.... guess what's showing on SS2 right now: a dog show. Damn they must be strapped for content!

 

[DJ...]

So usually the Wednesday Mythbusters is a new episode as opposed to the daily repeats of the repeats that they have been repeating now for 2 years. However those too have now become repeats of old shows as well. Last week's was a repeat, and this week is a repeat of the Alaska myths. This is getting beyond absurd now. I really am getting to my wits end with these twits.

Where is the new content? It is non-existent...

 

[ToxicBunny]

They're constantly advertising new content on Discovery now... Still waiting for it to actually become a reality.

My next email is about 70% drafted... I'll post it here when I email it to Multichoice

Agreed. American football, baseball and basketball are so mindlessly boring.

Ice hockey though is pretty cool. (hahahahahahahah). It's also pretty exciting.

I agree. There used to be a reasonably good league in Johannesburg in the old Wembley ice-rink days and they used to import a number of 2nd league players from overseas to play here. I attended on a wekly basis,with about 3000 oither spectators.
