HD PVR DSTV

[thedudeman]

So i saw an advert in the HIFI corp this morning, for a HD PVR DSTV decoder for only R1999 or if you own a standard PVR there is a add on to your current decoder...

Can anyone tell me if one requires a change to the current LNB? If so then i have a problem, as I stay in a complex, we have a comunial dish...

I want one bad... nothing like watching the olympics in HD...

Makro got a Sony 40" LCD special on :

The special is exclusive to DStv & M-Net Subscribers and is only available at Makro stores.

If you purchase a HD BRAVIA KLV-40S400A LCD TV from Makro (valued at R14,999), you get a R2,000 Makro gift voucher. The gift voucher may be redeemed immediately against your BRAVIA LCD TV or any other Makro purchase, including the new HD PVR decoder.

This special offer is subject to terms & conditions.

A valid TV licence and proof that you are a DStv subscriber must be presented on purchase. You can use your smartcard or a MultiChoice statement as proof of subscription.

You must be a Makro card holder and must also present a valid TV license.

You can purchase a TV license at Makro and also apply for a Makro card in store.

Offer valid 1 August – 30 September or while stocks last.

Offer is not redeemable for cash.

The answer to your question thedudeman:
MultiChoice recommends that installation of the HD PVR is done by a MultiChoice Accredited Installer. The HD PVR has 4 tuners and requires a four wire LNB installation, ie. the minimum requirement is a twin LNB

hmmm lets see... Sony's RRP is R14999

makro is selling for R14999 with 2000 voucher off... whereas there are places where you can most likely get that model for around 10k... Is it really a special?

I would really like to know where you can get it for 10k..please tell me because I doubt you will find it anywhere in this country for that price.
A full 40inch HD panel from sony is a very good deal for that price.

I doubt it. The change is going to be on the decoder side.

And I'm skeptical about this add-on to standard decoders business. Just doesn't sounds right....cause the standard decoders don't have any suitable outputs...so I'm guessing something is being upscaled.
