Going be getting the hd pvr, just wonding what the total cost of my sub would be...

HD PVR
+ STANDARD DSD

ON DSTV COMPACT?

I know there's a access fee to make use of the pvr,but the extra decoder has a fee too?
(*I tried the dstv website,it gave me page errors...and dstv forum well thats a mission)
 
im gueesing compact subscription plus R65
 
pvr only available on premium boquet! went to sort my parents out a couple of months ago.
 
U sure, they told me PVR works on all bouquets.
 
isn't the hd channels only on premium? the hd channels is actually the reason to get that pvr. the reception on a panel is phenomenal!
 
HD is only on premium, what im saying is PVR works on the other bouquets as per dstv operator.
 
ja but whats the use? the quality is no where near those HD channels. i wanted to cry when i saw that quality. thats how every channel should be! if you gonna spend that kinda money why dont u just get premium? on SD there are a few channels that are good quality but some others are terrible

The use would be to get PVR functionality...
 
its like putting in a nitro system into a car but never putting in any NOS. content wise, what u gonna record?
 
Premium is R565 + R65 to enable HD channels plus PVR functionality + Extra view = R630

Fomula 1 ! I always missed the qualify sessions because I am always out on Saturday. But it is dan expensive I dont see DSTV dropping the prices so it will be soon R700!
 
ja but u dont get formula 1 on compact! for 700 i would rather sort out uncapped adsl

Actually, R559 + R65 to enable PVR functionality (and XtraView)

You (apparently) can get HD without PVR functionality and not pay the extra R65 but then you only use part of the hardware you purchased.

Unless you're prepared to wait for a 384k line to download two hours of HD content (which will take a little while), you're probably going to need at least 4mbs with an uncapped (or very high capped) package to download/view the HD broadcast online. In your R700 scenario, R133 (line rental) + R413 (ADSL line rental) leaves only R154 for bandwidth, not very much to download qualifying and the race in HD twice a month.
 
YIP, I know the part where im not going be able to watch HD channels (sadness),but im getting it cause of the recording part.

So let me get this straight

DSTV COMPACT = R246
Xtraview = R65
PVR Acess = R0.00 (INCLUDED IN THE XTRAVIEW COST OR THE OTHER WAY AROUND)

R311.00
