BREAKING. TopTV set top boxes now in shops - but only displayed and sold from Saturday.

You're reading it here first.

I can exclusively reveal first that the new TopTV decoders which I showed you RIGHT HERE first have been received by shops who will start to sell them from this Saturday.

Shops are under strict orders and super embargo's by On Digital Media (ODM) NOT to display the TopTV set top boxes (STB) before this Saturday, 1 May, which is the first date that they can go on sale. I can tell you that the TopTV STB will be sold by outlets like Checkers, Hi-Fi Corporation, Jet, Checkers etc. from Saturday.

What potential new satellite TV subscribers to TopTV needs to do is go to one of these shops selling a TopTV STB and buy one of the decoders. A subscriber then needs to call On Digital Media who will send a subscriber a list of three installers to choose from. A subscriber then choose an installer. The accredited installer - which the subscriber will not be paying at this point  - goes out and does the standard installation. The accredited installer will supply a 90cm satellite TV dish, as well as a cable up to 20 metres. It's also the installer who will activate the service once the installation is completed.
