I am totally underwhelmed by the new offerings, the current level of repeat and were it not for F1 and the family, I'd cancel.

The point escapes me - both those channels are free-to-view so what they intend saving is a mystery.

 

[JustAsk]

Probably make it one channel.

Sure repeats are a bit of an issue, but hey its probably better then watching Steven Seagal movies every sunday night on ETV.

The only reason why I'm on dstv is for BBC Prime.... Was wondering whether dstv is still worth it, now I know....

Even though I'm no fan of Telkom, bring on some competition Telkom Media!
