DSTV has about 5 channels I would like to have - none is available to me if I take the cheaper option. I don't want to sit and watch philamons kick a ball all day long.
I don't know what Top Tv has to offer, but the time I chacked they seemed almost as expensive.
Since a Tv is also referred to as an electronic income reducer I decided not to get anything else, I can do better things with my time than mindlessly sit and watch Tv.
Life is short - make the most of it. Do something else instead. The adverts are in any case as long as the program.
