DSTV Widescreen?

[boramk]

After a 2 year hiatus from the devil, I am thinking of going back for HD content..

Anyway, since then has their been any upgrades to widescreen TV, or are we still stuck on crappy 4:3 ratios?

The movie channels, BBC World & some shows like Supernatural on Action are in WS. Think Mnet broadcasts WS content in WS too.

And BVN is also in WS. But the rest still cut off the sides of the content or letterbox it if you are lucky.

Ok that's better than nothing.. Anywhere where I can get a list of WS channels?
Also, anymore HD channels planned? 3 is so little for R529

R529? I pay R529 for normal full package

HD will be R529 + R50 I think

Why the extra R50?

Why the extra R50?

The R65 (not R50) is for PVR access and includes Xtraview. If you don't want PVR functions you don't have to pay it. People have trouble understanding this including some of the call centre staff at MC(incorrectly advising people that the HD channels require R65).
