Petition DSTV To Include EWTN

I wrote to DSTV recently to enquire why the Catholic Television Network, EWTN, is available to DSTV subscribers in the rest of Africa but it is not available to South African subscribers. I believe it is available to the rest of Africa on channel 348.

I really don’t understand why Rhema and other religions already have a specific religious channel dedicated to them, but Catholics do not. Are they doing something that Catholics are not? Are they to be considered as more serious about their faith than Catholics are?

As I expected, I received the standard response from DSTV about there not being enough South African subscribers expressing an interest in EWTN. Please help me to change this. I know that others are also engaged in campaigns to get EWTN activated.

Please, pretty please, if you’re Catholic and reading this, help us by doing two very simple things:

(1) Indicate that you support the Catholic Network EWTN being made available in South Africa by entering your name in the comments section at the end of this post.

(2) Send a request directly to Multichoice / DSTV requesting that they add EWTN to the bouquet. You can do so by emailing them: multichoiceenquiries@multichoice.co.za

Thanks. It is only if we stop being passive that we, and our Catholic Faith, will begin to be taken seriously. Please also share this with as many others as you possibly can.  Here is a short link for this Blog post that you can copy and then email it to those you know so that they can also participate in this campaign: http://bit.ly/HKd00x
