I notice that we are only 3 episodes behind the US and UK when it comes to Lost. This is a whole lot more impressive when we were at least half a season behind last time round. Is it likely that as the South Africans who can afford DSTV find the internet and ways to access these shows immediately, that DSTV has been forced to bring them on stream earlier?

Or is it out of goodwill?
 
We are normally behind but because of the strike we managed to catchup I think I know the US held back episodes, but now multichoice has to wait till they get new ones
