BREAKING. How low can it go? Pick n Pay drops special DStv decoder price further to R595 (which includes free installation).


You're reading it here first.

Yesterday I told you about DStv brand new special offer of just R649 for a new DStv decoder that now comes with free installation because you get a Installation Voucher and is available from Marko countrywide. A truly amazing offer by DStv to counteract the new ''free installation'' offer by TopTV that entered the pay TV market at the beginning of this month.

Today, just one day later, Pick n Pay has now dropped the price of R649 to just R595 - also for a DStv decoder and also with a free Installation voucher. TopTV is available at R499 since the beginning of May and started the new value proposition where you buy a TopTV decoder and then get a free satellite dish and installation. Now DStv's new and amazing offer offer, is being improved by Pick n Pay themselves who's decided to undercut DStv's recommended retail price.

Now the hurdle of the often prohibitively expensive installation cost, as well as having to invest in an expensive decoder, to get access to pay TV in South Africa has clearly been removed. Whether you go with TopTV's R499 offer, or DStv's new decoder and free installation special at either Makro or today's even cheaper special offer at Pick n Pay, it has absolutely never been easier, or more affordable to get access to subscription satellite television in South Africa. What's happening is truly remarkable.
