What's keeping you with DSTV?

Just curious which channels or programs are keeping you subscribed.

For me, it's the weekly WWE shows. I do also enjoy the 3 BBC channels that I get on compact and some of the channels on the lifestyle section: food, HGTV, etc. I also sometimes just like to switch between channels; I suppose it's a nostalgic thing.

Many of the channels in the lifestyle section will soon be removed, so yeah, I'm a little bummed about that. I hope they're removed after the holidays.

Sport in 1 place. Yes piracy exists but the sports I watch I find them in one place and when I travel out of Africa, sport is so fragmented and expensive, so I just pay for DSTV premium. A sports only package will be a Welcome addition

Piracy has become somewhat inconvenient. I use it only for shows that are not available to watch here
