    FNB Virtual Card safety features no substitute for vigilance

    It is not entirely correct to say "You will never be asked to provide a banking OTP to a merchant when making a payment." You have to enter it for all Woolworths and Takealot online purchases (amongst many others) although they route you elsewhere to do so. Most people wouldn't know whether they...

    Telkom launches Prepaid Compact Fibre for R99 per week

    R400 to R500 per month is nowhere near "cheap". And then it's capped/throttled... you can get uncapped for less...

    Major DSTV security flaw

    The topic clearly states "including DSTV" - scroll past if you are not interested. The only thing we don't care about is your opinion unrelated to the discussion.

    Dear DStv - technical faults thread

    I don't watch CSI but I have picked up endless EPG mistakes over the last couple of weeks across several channels (wrong season nr, wrong episode nr etc) and none of those I reported - some a week in advance and several times - ever got fixed so I have now given up. I've had to manually record...

    Dear DStv - technical faults thread

    Catching up through recent posts about the old forum brough back several good... and not so good... memories. I STILL have an issue with channel logos in the 4:3 safe area after all these years with Universal live channels. I took them on about it on Facebook after which the Universal TV (117)...

    Dear DStv - technical faults thread

    I have seen this happen a few times but not limited to the Ultra - also on my 2A. A few times it returned automatically but once or twice only a few or even no shows returned. Recently (on my 2A) all the show's banners were there but all showed that they had zero episodes.

    Dear DStv - technical faults thread

    That's exactly the deal I got for my dad yes - not bad at all.if you don't mind comitting for 2 years. My dad's existing dish was still very new so they just left the new one in his garage and said he can sell it. I do miss the display somewhat but I have pretty much now gotten used to it. I...

    Dear DStv - technical faults thread

    I find my Ultra much more stable and responsive than the 2A - lately my 2A is constantly freezing or responding very slowly (like pressing stop while watching Catchup) and I'm getting all kinds of strange things happening. The Netflix and Prime Video streaming on the Ultra works great - 4K as...

    Dear DStv - technical faults thread

    No guys - it's not just streaming. There is a satellite channel as well for the 4K soccer - channel 216 - and the quality is GREAT. All world cup matches are being shown in 4K. The channel is only visible on the Ultra and will downscale to HD if your setup doesn't support 4K. There will be a 2nd...

    Very few DStv Premium subscribers tuned in for the House of the Dragon premiere

    There's no secrets about how it ends as the books are already written - a very different situation compared to GOT where the final season was based on nothing more than story line ideas.

    Very few DStv Premium subscribers tuned in for the House of the Dragon premiere

    I have serious doubts about these viewing figures from Thinus. In fact, I will not be in the least surprised if 3 zeroes are missing at the end. Where have you ever seen viewer figures given where ones, tens and even hundreds are shown? It is impossible to measure or even estimate anywhere near...

    M-Web/Openserve IPv6

    Does anyone know whether there is IPv6 support yet for M-Web fibre via Openserve? And, if so, is there any benefit yet in SA activating it and what settings should I use on my TP-Link router?

    Dear DStv - technical faults thread

    That's correct yes. It seems future remotes will no longer have an ARC button.

    MultiChoice to Spend Half Content Outlay on Africa-Made Shows

    I do think their is a pretty high demand for local content in some market segments but one of the main reasons these shows are doing well in the ratings is because they are generally not available anywhere illegally - like on torrent sites etc. There are many illegal download and streaming...

    MultiChoice says DStv Streama will be out by 30 September

    I have often raised the need for this device (and re-inventing the wheel) compared to getting a more flexible certified Android Box which can do all the same things plus MUCH more. In my view they will literally have to give it away for free to people who subscribe to the online only streaming...
