I'm sure if you had to add the Netflix and ShowMax numbers in ZA you'd get pretty close to that as well.

I wonder what the churn rate is? It's not like you have to call them and cancel if you're not using it anymore.

Yes...activation is easy and automated via an ussd string and even if you buy one that's not activated, you can just have your buddy in SA do it for you remotely.

If your dish is pointed at SES5 then by 'Manipulating' the decoder you can get about 30 more channels!
Ask a friendly installer to do it for you or you can google the satellite info and look for the transponders available in Southern Africa - enter the values - reboot the decoder and they are added.
