Rather be forced to eat my own toenail clippings, than try and watch TopTV -EPG fail
How about being forced to eat the toenails of somebody else? With really long, crooked, dirty and hard toenails...
Monochoice is accurate as there is only one pay-TV service offering HD. Decades of protected pay-tv monopoly status has ensured that it will take several years before TTV could offer HD in the new duopoly pay-tv scenario. Hardly matters though, this is a dinosaur product offering anyway - satellite TV should be dead before the end of the decade. For now if you want satellite HD in SA, there is no choice.

Let me correct that for you
SuperSport HD2 only shows English Premier League Football - not a general sports channel at all, why don't they also show other football or other sports on SSHD2?
You need a new decoder and dish for HD right?
Is this a good deal? (R3250)

You don't need a new dish, a 90cm dish is advised for bad weather conditions but not required
How do you get on-demand with HD, or is that only with the new HD decoder?

BUT ..... if you have SD and a HD PVR you can have the best of all worlds. Even with the cheaper HD decoder option you will have "watch 3 record 2". So already you are one step there. You wont be downgrading in terms of what you have now, and what you will land up with. No one yet has mentioned what the stability factor is with HD. Does it still have "issues"?

That's what I did. Sold my SD PVR for R2k and bought a HD PVR for the same price. I have the pace HD PVR in the lounge and the HD PVR 2P in the bedroom... Bloody fantastic!!!
The bedroom and lounge are separated by a wall so connecting the 2 components for the sake of extra view was no problem. Drilled a hole through the wall and bobs your auntie..

What kind of cable does the Extra View decoder require to receive its "heartbeat" from the main decoder? Is it the standard white RF cable, or something closer to RCA?
I'm currently using a normal SD dual view decoder that splits the second signal to a TV using the RF cable, so I assume that the 1110+ decoder will feed off the existing cable, or am I getting this all wrong?

Cool, so all I need is two new decoders to run on my existing installation?
Actually I already have a 1110+, so I reckon if I plug in a HD PVR where the current SD Dual View decoder is and plug the 1110+ into the end of the line to where my second set is now I should be golden, yes?
