Wait like all the other peons...
We don't condone piracy here...
In terms of SA law it's not piracy, as long as you don't distribute. You're allowed to download for personal use under the Copyright Act (I can quote you the relevant clause when I have some time available). Uploading on the other hand is questionable as it could constitute distribution (not sure whether it applies to partial uploads or complete uploads, as it's still a grey area).
Ever recorded something on PVR for personal use? Same principle. The fact that you get the content from Multichoice means very little. With the advent of the internet, the world has become a smaller place. One could subscribe to online tv channels and record content for viewing later. One can download it from their usenet provider for viewing later. Multichoice is merely just another distribution channel. It doesn't matter how you get it, but you get it, and in SA it's legal.
