Definitely gone. Received this e-mail from Space TV today:
Please note that MultiChoice will be terminating all services on the C Band satellite on 31 May 2010. This satellite will be replaced by a new W7
satellite service, which only covers the countries where we have a license
to broadcast. Depending on where you reside, you might have the option to
change over to W7. However, you will be required to purchase a new smart
card and decoder.
Our subscription cost is at R650 per month and your smart card xxxxxxxxx
is due to expire 05.05.2010. You can renew the card for a further 1mth only.
Payment can be made via credit card and I would then need your credit card
details, expiry date and the last three digits at the back of the card.
Please confirm.
Regards
Melody
