Price increase
How the hell can you have a price increase, if you show every show or movie over and over again. Surly there is no additional cost to repeat the same show month after month? We pay a fortune for DSTV to watch the same thing at least 5 times a day on different channels. It is about time that South africans stood together, and do not accept these charges for no value add.<br> <br> Regards<br>

In order for us to continue offering you the best in local and international entertainment, we review our subscription fees annually. We have a range of DStv packages for customers to choose from and these are tailored to suit a variety of tastes and pockets.
Repeats are part of pay TV services around the world. They are there so customers can catch up on the programmes they might have missed, particularly customers without a PVR.
The other reason, which is even more important, is that film and TV studios produce a limited amount of shows. For example, Hollywood pushes out only 600 new films (or about 1 200 hours' worth of viewing) a year; while a single movie channel is made up of 8 760 hours over the same time frame. The difference is then made up of repeats to fill up the channel.
Having said that we do release a lot of brand-new content on DStv every month. It's really just a case of discovering what's available. There are a number of resources you can use to find shows on channels you perhaps don't currently watch and which you just might find interesting.
Regards
Nesta
