Pay R399 for the decoder then your hooked on a over priced subscription....

Well since I've seen QC process in the old factory vs the new one I'm not surprised that they can drop the price

 

[jetlee]

lol . why the hell they dont give these things away for free is a mystery to me ....

MultiChoice said it considers recycling as a “pinnacle part of their business operations.”

Like their content?

No, just AdVolumeBoost Plus as standard.

It's about time we have internet enabled decoder... Telkom must come up with FREEMe bundle...

Now the next iteration should include Bluetooth.
They should have opted for the eSim technology.
It should be able to act as a WIFI hotspot.

Micro SIM probably means the smart card, where you don't need that whole credit card sized one anymore.

Some what of a difference between a micro SIM and a micro Smart Card ... , but sorta makes sense I suppose.

Only if you print the same picture over and over ...

 

[LandyMan]

No, just AdVolumeBoost Plus as standard.

F0k, I noticed they started that crap again!

Is this the "Without Steve' model?

Internet enabled decoder? The only thing a decoder is useful for is to decode an encrypted signal. What would Telkom be decoding exactly?

And a Cellphone is for making calls right? What's 40 Megapixel for....

A 5G capable decoder should be their next target and market their box as an Entertainment Box.

What would Telkom be decoding exactly?

I assume you missed the FreeMe Bundle part. Have a look at them.

Err... most things are recyclable. Problem has always been finding a recycling point.

LOL. Decoder or IP media box? There's a difference. What would it be decoding then?
You know why multichoice's product is called a decoder, right? And yes, it has a cat 5 port and is internet enabled.

Decode the stream perhaps?
