    I would like to thank MNET for all the upgrades,
    but am concerned about other exciting channels that
    South Africa is not receiving, like channel 128 and 145.
    We really enjoy watching West African Movies and
    the movies currently shown on 114 and 115 are way
    too old. Hence I believe we(SA) should be able to watch 128
    and 145 as the new movies are shown in those channels.

    Thank you
