DSTV announces the arrival of the PDVR - a personal digital recorder that will revolutionize the way I watch TV by allowing me to select what I want to watch, when I want to.

I've been waiting for this announcement for sometime so immediately called Ellie's Electronics to have one delivered. "We've had 15 calls in the last hour", says the man at Ellie's on the phone, "but we're only expecting stock on the 15th." Either Cape Argus writer Andrew October needs a flea in his ear for getting the date wrong, or, more likely in my judgment, Multichoice haven't timed their launch with the delivery of stock. Either way, don't bother calling me on the night of the 15th - I'll be glued to the box finally watching when it suits me.
