soz for the stupid question but what exactly will be the highlights of the move to Digital for us the consumers? Will we get better quality signal?

I doubt if the signal will be better, but the viewing should be the same experience as with satellite.
 
The benefit for the consumer will be that you either need to buy yet another set top box or a new tv.

You can troll through DSTV's forums, they normally pick peeps from there
 
I wonder of the CAM in the guwament proposed boxes will be able to handle IRDETO2 or will we need yet another STB for Mnet digital terrestrial ?
 
Another stupid question...
How does this affect dstv subscribers? I mean if you dont use the normal tv aerial at all..
I'm assuming it has no affect, since the satellite signal is already digital
 
Guys, this is going to be great - apart from better viewing we will be seeing more free channels being added (Eg eTV 2, more sabc's and even CNBC and Al Jezeera amoung others) Fine for those who have dstv its not much new but think of the people who dont/cant afford DSTV.

Where will the extras be coming from? I thought SABC are Bankcrupt? Just another excuse to charge a monthly "service" fee maybe?
 
the rumour is that reception should be great even with standard bunny ears. :)
 
I receive about 36 radio and TV digital channels (some duplicates) on this dvd-t standard and it looks great, all the channels get even reception and u don’t have to twist and turn the aerial to get reception.
I only bought an usb dvb-t TV-card and I have a little aerial (like a radio) there it was, better than normal analogue

I was phoned by Mnet to participate in the trial. I haven't heard anything more from them, but we'll see.

I didn't do anything special to be selected, I guess I was just a random call from their database of (non-DSTV) subscribers.

I wrote about it here.
 
Scrambled Signal ?

Is the DVB-t signal scrambled because of the government set-top boxes or can you buy an ordinary dvb-t tv card & watch digital free to air television ?
