They are still awaiting feedback from the regulator; “ICASA is still following its processes,” Nonge said.

Wow, would never have expected something like this from a company as efficient as ICASA.

Asked what the implications are for OpenView HD when it says it will only provide carriage for already-licensed broadcasters, Nonge explained that you would need a free-to-air license to broadcast your channels on OpenView

I don't see content being improved in the near future at all.

Will wait for Freeview to launch before I part with my money but haven't seen their decoders on the market as yet. (Hopefully they will get a license in future that will enable them to add more content)
