English-language newspapers and TV available? Cost?
DSTV is available and has 100s of English channels (different packages available). I think I pay about $70/month for the "premium" package 100s of English-language channels and movies. - Jun 2012
Around $40 for 200 channels via DSTV dish. Good movie channels, almost all in English. People spend lots of time at home. newspapers are in english but the content is sub-par. - Dec 2009
There are several newspapers and satellite TV programming is available. Without satellite (about 80 USD per month plus equipment costs and installation), there are only 4 channels available. Keep in mind you need a PAL TV. - Feb 2009
Everywhere. Cable TV is realtively inexpensive. - Oct 2008
