Set-top box option

So, this means you still need a smart card, and the smart card is then deleted, leaving just the encryption keys for SABC and E-TV?

And I suppose you need to have been a DSTV subscriber beforehand?

My neighbour gets SABC and E-TV on his DSTV decoder (he switched off DSTV, but requested that they leave SABC and E-TV on). So, if you buy a DSTV decoder, a satellite dish and the necessary cable, all in all that will work out to less (for digital TV) than the SABC/ANC/Government offering? And most TV's can take the RCA video signal from the current DSTV decoders...

I smell a rat. Someone is gonna coin it from this *scam*

Unbelievable! So MultiChoice has got a "subscriber-bouquet" for channels covered by your annual TV-license?

At R210.00 per year, (R20 per month), it is the most affordable DStv package.

Same thing.That's why its called "the improved DStv entry bouquet."

HD Ready means that it can display what some call "HD" - aka 720 lines.

Full HD, as the tag implies, is real High Definition with 1080 lines - pretty much what we are used to on quality computer displays.

Regardsless of the screen dimensions the TVs can have numerous inputs as well as different tuner circuits like analog (PAL / SECAM / NTSC) or digital (DVB / ATSC).

thats not my point! whatever you buy you still need that crappy govermint box or dstv to get digital tv.

If you been following myadsl closely you would've realised that there was an announcement some time ago which stated that stb's won't be available for some time while tests were still being conducted.
