Yes DSTV does suck, but frankly I hardly had the need to watch TV, and when I did, I would take out a DVD from the store. Clearly many other people also does, otherwise the videostores in SA would be out of business?

Tell that to the person (I think it was a woman) who was repeatedly stabbed 10m outside of her London doorstep.

One other point - DSTV does not even come close to SKYYou will also find many of the shows you pay for on DSTV are free on FREESAT
Don't even get me started on ADSL this side
Adverts in the UK used to raise my blood pressure, especially the ringtone ones and those damned insurance ones!!! OMG, my blood pressure...it just went up thinking about it
Did I remember to tell you my Amazon deliveries are free
And Yes, I would and did go there Check out http://www.lovefilm.com/. I order my DVD rentals via the post. They get delivered the next day. I pay nothing for postage and in the last year, a DVD that I have ordered has NEVER gone missing in the post. When I arrive home from work they have been delivered - to my door
Wow - if you want to be lazy at work, then I can think of a better country that SA - You have me - SA is indeed the place for lazy people. May explain the 6 month wait for passports that side?
The solution - SKY+

Internet there was excellent. I paid 10 pounds pm for a 1mb uncapped line with free international calls and I was going to upgrade to a 16mb line. Now my friend there has a 64mb line. 
Here we pay 400% more than any other country for the same thing...

Ive been back for a few years...did that Sky+ cut out the adds? Is that the one where you can fwd and rewind tv etc?
Who said anything about being lazy?
How about working yourself to the bone? Fine by me but not for many others.
6 months wait? A friend of mine recently got his passport after 6 weeks (applied at Paarl Home Affairs, in the Cape) exactly as estimated.

It took me +/- 2 weeks to get my passport, and this is in JHB. It came in earlier than they estimated.
Skinner, I don't believe there is any reasoning with a person who will point the finger at a victim. Seems you spew out crap just for the sake of it. I personally won't be wasting any further time replying to your posts.
Best you stay in SA and enjoy it.

BTW Skinner, Hermanus is crap, it's snob-ville, which I imagine sits rather well with you.
Any particular reason you quote a post from me, from a different thread, in this thread?
What does it have to do with this thread?
Or are you trying to stir??
Please make comments on this in the other thread, otherwise it goes Off Topic.

It's convenient for you to try and stir here, but when the heat is on you, you can't take it
I'm sure you know the common denominator when it comes to all threads posted by you = BS.
