Set top box data DStv-i Capping Algorithms Progressive Capping is employed to account for the occasions where the decoder has been left on but the viewing session has ended Two stages are employed: Determine which sessions are going to be capped By how much the session will be capped Dynamic (un)capping is deployed in TNS RPD services to cope with programmes greater than one hour where viewing would typically be capped but genuine viewing continues to the end of the programme.

Due to technical issues beyond our control, the reporting sample, reach and TVR levels dropped to below our tolerance levels : 2010 2011 • 10th May • 5th Jan • 1st June • 19th July •28th October •28th November Access to DStv-i data DStv-i data will be freely available to existing users of Telmar, Arianna and TechEdge. Data will be sent to Telmar and Arianna on a daily basis, around 2 days after broadcast. No data integration between DStv-i and TAMS; will be clearly seen as 2 separate databases. The same programme event data will be used (TV Events). Panels (TAMS and DStv-i) will be clearly labeled. The DStv-i systems developed by Telmar and Arianna allow for viewing data, planning and post campaigning on the DStv platform. At initial stage only commercial channels represented by DStv Media Sales were broken out. Rest of channels were labeled as ‘Other’ with only globular data available. Subsequently, additional channels have subscribed to the DStv-i data and are available for selection from the following dates: From 3 January 2011: Disney Channel, CNBC Africa, Food Network and Zone Reality From 21 February 2011: SonyMax, MTV, MTV Base, VH1, Nickelodeon, CBeebies From 4 April 2011: eNews Any channel on the MultiChoice bouquet could subscribe to the data for a monthly fee. Their data would then be broken out for all users to access. DStv-i on Transmit Transmit: Entry Point First select the required panel from the drop down NOTE: The data available for selection in the source period will change. DStv-i data is available from the 4th of January 2010 Transmit: Guidelines If you select “Broadcaster Guidelines” under the Help menu, you will see guidelines for DStv-i Transmit: Audiences NOTE: Coding of non standard targets functions in the usual way. • Due to data from the latest DStv-i questionnaire being introduced, Income and Language are now broken into two sections; UP TO 31/01/11 and FROM 31/01/11. Please note that a source period overlapping these periods will result in an operational error. • The top income level in ‘up to 31/01/11’ was R20,000 while the top level in ‘from 31/01/11’ is R65,000+ • Inc nnnn-nnnn can only utilise the breakdown in Income Detailed e.g. Inc R13,000-15,000 cannot be selected as an audience. • There are no LSM’s. Kantar/TNS has developed a Wealth/Behaviour Indicator which will be available on Telmar DStv-i soon. The DStv-i Wealth Indicator As part of the recruitment process panelists completed the LSM questions. As DStv-i is one of the LSM questions the resultant data was skewed. Further discussion surrounding limitations of LSM as an indicator of Wealth at the top end resulted in developing a DStv-i specific behaviour indicator to complement LSM. Wealth Indicator A behavioural measure correlated to Wealth and LSM Based on BEHAVIOUR and LIFE CHOICES as well as products It consists of four categories, Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum, with an upper and lower segment within each category Planned for Q3/Q4 2011 Transmit: Audiences continued • Languages are also broken into two sections. ‘Language before 31/01/11’ reflected all instances of a language (main and secondary). ‘Language from 31/01/11’ reflects main language only and have a lot of ‘Other Languages’ broken out separately. In a few months the section of all instances of a language spoken will be added to the data again. The planner could then select either main language or Language spoken. • ‘Community Size’ and’ Children in Home’ as audiences were requested by the Media Industry and introduced into the data from 3 January 2011 onwards . Transmit - Programmes NOTE: • Only digital stations are available on the DStv-i panel. The channels listed here in the station list and selection columns are currently available on DStv-i. • All other channels are grouped together in the option “Other”. That includes digital viewing for SABC and e.TV • Initially only channels commercially represented by DStv Media Sales were broken out but we’ve subsequently broken out additional channels who now subscribe to our data.
