Someone want to explain the logic behind putting all those "E45: Not allowed in this country" between whatever channel I'm on and whatever channel I want to go to?

Bring back the ability to hide channels!

All the channels that you can't watch? :eek:
DSTV took that away!? Didn't they?

Very annoying :mad:

Perhaps there is some drug I can take (probably have to be a psychedelic one) that would make sense out of this seemingly arbitrary channel shuffle :eek:

Hmmm, Look at the people that run/own DSTV.. That should be answer enough as to why they use Idiotic Math/Logic in there new 3 digit and channel shuffling..

DSTV have in fact not added any new service. They have now just taken the "same old reruns" and given it its own channel.

Its like someone said, why don't they just upgrade the already pathetic channels with some new content..

Ja wat... IceLand here I come :D

With an independent decoder you can see most of the "not allowed" channels, including Namibia, Zimbabwe and Botswana TV. Not that you're missing much.

I'd keep that quiet. Deukom alone cost like R300+pm. So I'm not so sure that you can watch those legally.

They should never have removed the Sci-Fi channel - they say that it wasnt economically viable and had to be closed down back then; but the real reason was that Sci-Fi started showing all the cool stuph which was still only to be released on MNet 2 years later :eek: so they had to get rid of the competition!
