AMEN Brotha !

 

[DOOMIE61]

WOW.. now hows some more HD channels!!

 

[JMRHOWES]

Wow, What a load of Bull.

SD PVR only support DSTV on Demand, which you cannot get anymore.

HD PVR does not Support this function, Still has loads of bugs.

Why is Multi Choice wasting our time.... oops forgot they want more money next month.... let the public think they are getting something great.

LIKE HD

 

[DJNgoma]

WOW.. now hows some more HD channels!!

Yeah, especially that they have stopped supplying the SD PVR models.

 

[DVD007]

We want DSTV on demand for HD PVR!!!

Their supposed latest and greatest flagship product the HDPVR cannot even access the content. Instead of wasting our time with rubbish like this, rather sort your buggy slow HDPVR out multichoice. After all how long does it take for you to program the HDPVR?

How can this be a priority when there are so many issues with the HD-PVR?

...or you could save money and download HD video straight from the net...

"The tests were done to establish if the quality of these two options were in line with MultiChoice's standards," said MultiChoice's external communications manager Marilyn Watson.

Funny man/woman/person. Arent they still on Mpeg2 format? Not even talking about the standard of the programs!

 

[ponder]

Lol, this is a joke.

Why not simply broadcast all channels in widescreen where the content was provided in this format. Might as well do the same for Dolby.

They make it sound special so they can con you out of more $$$$

I'm not drinking their Kool-Aid...

 

[MrSmith]

If it was not for the news channels and the odd bit of live sport i would have deep 6'ed DSTV long ago

 

[Tns]

they cost way too much

 

[ink]

And MyBroadband continues to be a Multichoice shill.

 

[milomak]

how does one enable the widescreen functionality on the SD PVR?

 

[xrapidx]

And MyBroadband continues to be a Multichoice shill.

WTF?

My problem is this - I still have the older decoder, but every few days, while the TV aspect ratio settings on my decoder are still 4:3, the movies on MM1 the the BBC world channel suddenly comes up as Widescreen (the same as if I'd set the aspect ratio on my decoder to 16:9), and everything on the screen is compressed in from the sides. Normally one can change the settings in the setup menu which is an irritation in itself, but in my case when this fails, I have to reboot the decoder, which takes 80 seconds on average, which is not something one wants to do when recording a movie or watching it.
