I had Showtime, but "downgraded" to Orbit Prime. I have to admit all the movie channels and sport channels were wasted on me. I prefer having Discovery and History channel. Showtime's series seem to be a few months behind the US from what i've seen, but not too bad. BE prepared for lots of re runs.

In the same boat (currently in Joburg) - heard elsewhere you can get DSTV East - you can prob check out that bouquet here (?) Apparently you lose the RSA content (SABC etc...) but keep most, incl the sports

Don't know about the DSTV East and can't check it out. All my stuff left on the container and I had to give my PVR decoder away too

You cannot legally get dstv here. It's a bit of a mission to get it, and you need to be able to put a satellite up on your balcony or so...
