My question is how many people will afford led tvs .unless Samsung comes with a separate set top box this concept will not work. It's dead on arrival

Samsung TV is coming in August 2012 in Kenya with 30 free channels... It's entirely free and will be available on their new Samsung LED TV which will have a built-in decoder (until Multichoice try to change the law as in South Africa broadcasting free TV by satellite is forbidden)

Read article on Standard - http://www.standardmedia.co.ke/sports/InsidePage.php?id=2000054901&cid=456

And yes DSTV sucks !! Monopoly, price increase... by the way, did they kept the dollar at 86 during the shilling plunge, I don't remember ??

Any of you tried the Sony Internet TV... was really interested especially to see movies on YouTube but I haven't check yet, is their a browser Flash enable in the TV to check other video websites ??

@John - Not necessarily the highest bidder. For example, in the case
of EPL, the Government of Nigeria did petition the EPL that
Multichoice has not right to say they are negotiating on behalf of
Nigeria, and since there were alternatives with good viewership, the
EPL agreed, and that is why there is SuperSport 3Ni which mostly
doesn't broadcast all EPL matches since they do not have the full
rights.
