Ducking & Diving

Owning a boat when you live by the sea is one of life's pleasures. But a company called Supa Duck has been making things rather unpleasant for some clients. The owner allegedly lures them in with false promises and then scuppers their dreams. Carte Blanche Extra reels him in.

Laser Ink II

It sounded like a great deal: ink for your printer at rock bottom prices - and delivered to your doorstep. But Carte Blanche Extra exposed some less than ethical marketing practices - and it hasn't stopped. We revisit 'that' printer ink company, operating under another name, which now delivers to the post office.

Card Skimming

Hundreds of millions of rands are lost to credit card fraud each year and as this figure increases, so does the sophistication of the perpetrators. Card skimming is an increasingly popular scam. Gadgets are attached to ATMs to steal bank clients' details and even portable devices are used to surreptitiously clone information when a card is briefly handed over for a legitimate transaction. Carte Blanche Extra finds out how you can protect yourself.

Powerless in Komatipoort

What do you do with an electricity bill of R87 000 when it's largely due to your neighbours having tapped into your meter? To make matters worse, it's been ongoing for six years and Eskom seems less than interested in sorting it out. Carte Blanche Extra travels to Komatipoort, near the Mozambican border, to find out more about Hester Coetzee's frustrating battle to regain power over her meter.

General

When is M-Net’s Open Time closing? M-Net’s Open Time closes on 1 April 2007. The final Open Time broadcast is on Saturday 31 March.

When is Open Time coming to an end? Why? On the 31st of March. This decision was made by the The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (Icasa) last year.

Why is Open Time closing? Last year ICASA (The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa) ruled in favour of closing M-Net's Open Time window.

Will M-Net’s schedule between 17:00 and 19:00 change when Open Time closes? Earlier this year, M-Net introduced an hour of daily drama between 18:00 and 19:00, with Egoli at 18:00 and Binnelanders at 18:30. This slot has been performing extremely well and will continue after Open Time closes. (Also note: Open Time viewers who still want to catch Binnelanders and Egoli now have various options – see point 4) There will changes to programming between 17:00 and 18:00. While Open Time was still running, M-Net used this slot as a promotional window for programmes on its niche channels on DStv channels, like kykNET and GO. As the majority of viewers will already have access to these shows, M-Net will in future give viewers who missed the previous evening’s hour-long prime time series (screened at either 19:00 or 19:30) the opportunity to catch up on all the drama or comedy. The only exception is Thursday evenings. On Thursdays M-Net will screen specials between 17:00 and 18:00. The 17:00 schedule for April 2007: Mondays - Stand-Off Tuesdays - ER season 12 Wednesdays - Smallville season 6 Thursdays - Specials Fridays - Shark season 1 SuperSport fills the 17:00 – 19:00 slot on Saturdays. On Sundays Everwood is screened at 17:00 and the hit game show Deal or No Deal at 18:00.
