Iceberg, are you leaning toward going with the SA IPTV?
I think SA is simply facing the fact that they need to go with changing technology - there is not a sufficient market for their current satellite offering to give them adequate revenue to keep going. So many people who might have been interested just didn't act on it, maybe because of cost, maybe because they thought it would be too complicated to set up. I was always asking people if they knew about SA -- and few did. Not enough marketing.
I'm spoiled being able to pick up SA programming on two TVs and on every radio in my house at any time -- even have extra remotes by several radios. It's great! But I recognize that almost any programming I care about is alternatively available free on-line at any time as well, including Internet radio for great music. I'm guessing that with some technical help, I could get a set-up that would allow me to select programming I want to hear and send it throughout my house without going with SA. But SA would still be a convenient way to do it. I'll be interested in the costs. And if I do decide to pay for it, I'll be mindful that SA, or their use of the IPTV configuration, could disappear at any time with ever-changing technology.
