TVSA receives constant queries from readers and viewers about the purchasing of TV shows so we regularly update this article with what you need to do.

Here's an example of a query we've received, with the latest details on ordering:
 

Q: Please, please, please, I really need your help. I am looking for all the seasons of Konings. I would really appreciate it if you could assist me in this regard. If there is a way that I could maybe get it on dvd or any other medium it would be awesome.

- Megan

 


We've delved into the situation and discovered that it's possible to buy any SABC show - if it's available in the SABC archive (which Konings is) and if the format allows it to be transferred to DVD.

Anyone can purchase a full series, multiple seasons or an individual episode from the SABC's Business Enterprise department.

If you'd like to order you can send an e-mail to: contentsales@sabc.co.za.

(Please note: this e-mail address used to be content@sabc.co.za and changed to contentsales@sabc.co.za in 2023.)
 

You can send us an Ask by e-mailing us at admin@tvsa.co.za. We won't be able to answer all questions so please don't have a fiasco if we don't.

Very good info.
I bought YIZO YIZO  about two years ago. It was not a particularly easy process and they did not have other series I wanted. I have been looking for INTERSEXIONS for a while but no luck.
SABC does a very poor job of selling its DVDs.

The cost for buying from their archive is astronomical. Nearly R2000 per season of a mini series.
The quality of the copies are not very good. The DVD's they sent me looked like old VHS footage digitized with poor sound quality. 
I suspect the archives were not well preserved or were not properly digitally remastered.
You are better off looking for old DVD's somewhere.
