Affordable TV?

As a TV addict, Ive refused for many years to go the DSTV route. I feared becoming not just a couch potato, but possibly the couch?

However the Indian in me just caught wind of TOPTv.....and I thought, let me see whats all this about. so I read a bit and summarise my findings below:

If you have a HD setup, with a keen interest in sport, go DSTV
else go TOPTV

DSTV has a few HD channels, not enough in my opinion unless you are a sporting fan, to warrant the investment.
PS. HD channels only on the premier package

TopTv has a decent offering for the average family, for approximately half the price (about R250), limited sports and no HD channel. However if u wanna keep the kids busy during holidays, not a bad bet......
