A friend of mine gave me a HD-PVR decoder. I don't watch TV as I have uncapped internet, but I'm thinking of getting a basic package to at least get some news.

Are any of the basic packages worth it? My fear is that I'll end up wanting premium, which is such a waste of money...
 
The only thing to get when you don't really need it is that R30 package called called easy view which last time I looked had Al Jazeera. If you want news outside local, otherwise it's not worth it when you live an area with proper terrestrial signal where you can get news from SABC and eTV.
 
Not worth it!

I got a PVR and SD decoder both off ATM.

You'll pay R380.00 for news eg. CNN, Sky, BBC, ENCA or R29.00 for ANN7, Aljazeera, SABC.

The other bummer is that HD channels are only available on premium package. If you drop to the R380 "Extra" package which isn't all that bad if you not into local sport, all channels are SD unfortunately.

You can compare the packages here
