''I think what they're doing is low and cheap,'' a TopTV subscriber - echoeing the sentiments of many subscribers who've reacted and sent responses - tells TV with Thinus about TopTV's porn plans to launch three hardcore pornography TV channels from Playboy TV in 2012 as part of a new separate subscription package of R199 on the pay TV operator.
A reader who is a subscriber of TopTV sent in this picture he made - a fictional representation of ''000 Top Porn'' on TopTV's supposed EPG grid. ''The picture was done out of protest and I'm not supporting the idea of porno,'' he says. ''Why don't they call their channel 000 Top Porn!''
Meanwhile South Africa's civil society is also up in arms with several groups and institutions who've now sent very strongly worded letters as well as public letters to TopTV denouncing TopTV CEO Vino Govender's plan to start the pornographic video services on TopTV. Vino Govender originally said before TopTV launched in May 2010 that the operator won't be including these channels as part of TopTV's business.
