If you activate the service in SA, they will allow you to transfer it here. Brand new, you won't be able to. From a technical point of view, a decoder is just a receiver...

Plus it doesn't make sense to charge prices on a variable scale based on the USD rate (their rates always higher) rather than just use a fixed local currency.

With faster internet in future, we would do away with DSTV and just go the IPTV way.
