so as it says.

im looking at getting some kinda TV as ETV,SABCs are getting real **** to watch..

so i have a TV Hisense TV.

now what ?.
what do i get if i get Top TV. >
do i get the stuff i need or do i have to go out and buy all that stuff, if so what am i looking at price wise for all the things i need.

Or do i stay away from Top TV or go for it.. im located in P.E
 
Toptv cost is R499 get it from Game all installed disk etc. packages range from R99 (basic sabc included) to R249 all programs !
 
You get:

Decoder + dish + remote + 2xAA batteries + cabling from dish to the decoder + a set of cords to connect the decoder to the TV all for R499.

You only buy the decoder from the shop, then phone TopTV for an installer, make arrangements with the installer who will bring the other stuff.

I recommend checking with Pep for TopTV decoder.

Also some DSTV installers are selling the TopTV decoders and everything.
 
Thanks for the responce, it helped me alot.. thnx to last 3 posters

Sorry i only answerd now but i dont answer posts with stupid replys..
 
Decoders are easy to find,

Only help I can offer is to be patient when it comes to the telephone calls you will have to make to get the installation done.
And yes, there are many threads on the forum that can assist step by step in the process of getting top tv running.
 
TopTV Lied

TopTV was not as honest at it said because they claimed that in order for you not to experience any problems you need a bigger dish as they claim that it has been designed to be more stable in bad weather than DStv. The correct reason is Sirius 4 signal is very weak as it beams almost the whole continent and is not focused as IS7.

I don't recall them ever saying that the reason for the bigger dish was due to weather stability. I recommend you quote your source.
 
Sorry, perhaps I should have phrased my point more clearly.

They said it would be more stable in bad weather not that it would be more stable in bad weather than DSTV.

And you can pick up Sirius 4 on a smaller dish but the signal is very unstable in even the mildest weather.

You see? This is a perfect example of a misquote or taking a statement out of context:

"ODM recommends a 75cm dish and the ODM service has been designed to be more stable in bad weather than DStv" is not the same as "you need a bigger dish as they claim that it has been designed to be more stable in bad weather than DStv".

The first statement consists of two seperate points.
Point 1: They recommend a 75cm dish.
Point 2: The service (when using 75cm dish) has been designed to be more stable in bad weather than DSTV.

The second statement consists of only one point.
Point 1: You need a bigger dish BECAUSE it's designed to be more stable in bad weather than DSTV.

There's a very well paying job waiting for you with BP's PR department. You'll be based in the Gulf of Mexico.

They'll call him the Spin Doctor.

Kheiron, they also stated that people will be able to use their existing DStv dishes by aligning them to Sirius 4. Very few DStv subscribers have 75cm dishes. Also, in Cape Town, even a 75cm gives marginal signal quality (EIRP is lower here than up North) and unless the dish is perfectly alligned (which often it is not), a lot of people will get break-up even with some minor cloud cover. I really think, forgetting about the dish size, that the statement that their system is more stable than DStv in bad weather, is false.
 
Actually, if I was a real spin doctor, I'd point out that they said it was "designed" to be better than DSTV. That doesn't necessarily mean it IS better than DSTV.

I once made a website that was "designed" to become more popular than Facebook. Turns out it was rubbish and nobody liked it.

So technically they didn't lie about anything. They were just wrong in their assumption.
