I agree with you on some of your points.<BR/><BR/>It is indeed true that DSTV "gives you so much more", and there is only so much one can watch at a time. I don't dig sports either and despite the fact that DSTV has over 10 sport channels, I don't watch any of them. This could be why I didn't miss anything when <A HREF="http://www.davidajao.com/blog/2009/02/01/gbs-gtv-closed-shop/" REL="nofollow">GBS had the rights to broadcast more action from the English Premier League.</A><BR/><BR/>About GBS, I was never enticed to it. After all, I had so much more on DSTV's Premium bouquet though I silently wished DSTV would release at least one Indian channel since I am paying so much more. :-) DSTV has a special Indian bouquet and all Indian content is restricted to that bouquet.<BR/><BR/>I was terribly shocked about GBS' sudden demise and I have no cause to doubt the staff of GBS when they say they only got to know about the company's woes on the very last day. This is Ghana. If they knew ahead, I know the news would have been leaked somehow. Details of former President Kufuor's cabinet meetings get leaked so what cannot be leaked in Ghana?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
