I was hypnotized by the cheapness of start times plans until I started using it. In fact, I abandoned my dstv because of the above reason. However, I was discouraged by their screen resolution (low quality display) as it was not displaying in HD. The start times plans that used to be cheap are now expensive. The price is not even the issue for me but the fact they have not improved the quality of their show. I remembered subscribing for their weekly plan last year when it was still #500 hoping to see good programs and channels in good quality display but I experienced otherwise. They can do better though.
