R700 is certainly a lot to pay. A lot of families dont have that kinda money. In fact i think most wont. I'm not convinced that many people will jump to buy a decoder... but my concern is that the govenment might force everyone to get a decoder... how else will the sabc make any money? I can't think of anyone who is saying yes to the decoder because most people think the sabc is crappy. So if people are all saying no then how will they make any money except to force everyone to get one?
