    DStv's streaming limit not helping to boost subscriptions

    Dstv app is absolute crap, and being so churlish as to allow streaming on 1 tv and one mobile instead of 2 tv's is enough for me to join the exodus.

    DStv's streaming limit not helping to boost subscriptions

    Rather kill the goose than risk anyone stealing an egg!

    Showmax announces partnership with QVWi for streaming devices and 4K TVs

    I can buy a very good Xiaomi Mi Box S from R999. This unknown product even with R198 of free Showmax is no big deal as the price is very similar. Even though I am in the market for another Android box this is not in the least bit tempting.

    South Africa’s strict new driving laws and licence demerits hit big roadblock

    Well these turkeys website does not even work, the otp to login never arrives, and then they send infringement notices to post offices nowhere close to your registered address!

    DStv on track to become the next SABC

    Called today to switch from Decoder package to Streaming package and was told it can't be done. Said OK then let me cancel, no problem and got put through to 'retentions'. Even their own staff don't give a damn. Their streaming app is a piece of crap, and being able to stream on one TV and one...

    DStv's subscriber decline in detail

    Moved to a rented property without a DStv dish for my decoders. Streaming is only allowed on 1 TV and then on small mobile devices. I cannot stream on 2 TV's at the same time, so they can keep it and kiss my +-R1000/m goodbye too. Disney and/or Amazon here I come!

    The only South African broadcaster currently making money

    Multichoice would rather kill the goose than risk anyone stealing an egg. Their streaming packages limiting viewing to just one TV set at a time and other streams only on mobile devices is what made me cancel. I moved into a rented home without a dstv installation. I am not prepared to install...

    Why DStv plays ads before streams

    What a load of crap! It is purely to generate extra revenue. Given the choice to watch something on Dstv Stream or Netflix, it's a no brainer!

    South Africa's rooftop solar explosion

    And here I thought the reason for reduced loadshedding was because hardly any traffic lights work around Gauteng! The absence of loadshedding has really highlighted the failure of various municipalities in keeping traffic lights operational.

    DStv subscribers get shock Disney+ bill

    After reading about these Dstv thieves I also discovered I have been charged for Disney+ since November. After querying it last night I am advised I do not have Disney + on my account, (was cancelled last night) but they don't seem keen to refund the stolen subscriptions. Still fighting about...

    Post Office creditors approve turnaround plan, which includes firing 6,000 more workers

    Lots of employees, but very few "workers", that's part of the problem In SA everyone wants a job, but no-one wants work.

    Epic Xiaomi competition - Win a Xiaomi AX3000 Mesh system

    2 Pack for me, one upstairs, one downstairs. What a pleasure to have one simple to install network covering my whole home. No hunting for the strongest signal, plus gigabit ethernet ports. Suddenly everything connects and stays connected! What a pleasure.

    How geyser controllers could cut 3-5 stages of load-shedding

    This sounds like a load of hogwash as ripple relays have been fitted to thousands of geysers giving municipalities this control already. Sounds like another attempt to get to the feeding trough.

    Why DStv's single-device streaming limit is terrible

    We have 2 decoders and often have 2 different channels playing. When loadshedding strikes, our internet powered by a UPS stays up and we switch to streaming on mobile devices. However now we are limited to only 1 stream on 1 smaller device. I think a fairer approach would at least be 1 stream...

    Is the government's plan to invest in Tottenham Hotspur a good idea?

    Let's encourage tourists to come and enjoy camping without power or water and swimming in sewers. You can't fix stupid.
