[QUOTE="KenMasters, post: 71675, member: 517"] I have to say, I do think people are a little overly critical of DSTV and SA TV in general. I'm afraid that a bunch of channels repeating the same old programming is just the nature of satellite and cable. Watch TV anywhere in the world and it's the same story. I happen to think SA TV is pretty decent considering what we pay. It might seem expensive, but in relation to what they charge in some other places it's not that bad. My cable costs R850 a month (and that's not even for all the available channels) and my TV license costs R5500 a year. I'm sure there's a lot that can be done to improve things, I just mean it doesn't seem as bad to me as some people make out. And to me the internet is not yet the solution. Definitely not in South Africa at any rate (of course I'm only considering the legal/morally correct means of sourcing content). I suppose though that it also depends on the sort of programming one enjoys. [/QUOTE]
