Those 3 extra movie channels are of limited use without Catch-up plus.

DSTV Compact is negatively affected for sure. 3 viewing choices downgraded to 2 viewing choices. Remember that Compact does not have Catch-up Plus to view any of those movies. Today on 'normal' catchup there are only 2 movies listed under m-net movies. Compact is definitely not worth it anymore.

You're lucky, I got refunded by Raru on a similar issue 40 days after they apologized that a certain product they initially confirmed (via email) was in stock and was eventually discovered (20 days later) not to be the case. A total of 60 days after initial payment made! Takealot much easier and...

I had a horrible experience with Raru, bought an item they claimed via an email enquiry was available to purchase. They remained quiet after the expected delivery date, I had no idea what was happening. When I emailed them I got no response. I could not phone them because they claim on their web...

The new Curiositystream channel is a terrible implementation of this excellent streaming service. As good as the online streaming service is, as bad as the satellite channel is. Rather just pay the R290 per annum (R150 on Black Friday month) to watch what you want.

I'm sure the Laginas will solve the mystery this coming season. :unsure: Anyway, love this stuff. I suspected the so-called 'cancellation' threat was to enter negotiations from a position of 'strength?!?' as the message came up on the DSTV guide surprisingly soon after negotiations broke...

The confidentiality aspect of data hosted by cloud providers is getting better with customers now able to generate and host the keys needed to encrypt it (Preferably hosted on private HSMs). So if the US government subpoenas Microsoft for the info, it will not be able to comply… sound good so...

And why is the other Documentary option, National Geographic, not in HD? I struggle to enjoy it.

The curse of oak island and forged in fire was the only reason I held onto Compact Plus vs just plain Compact. Oh well... I suppose I can now save a few bucks.

Yup, the built-in HiSense apps always seems to have some or other problem, you fix one then another pops up. I myself have had endless problems with the ARC audio Sub channel fed back to my receiver, have tried each and every firmware version thrown at me. The best solution was for me to just...

Ja, my old Sony XZ Premium of 2 yrs ago even has an amazing full 4k uhd hdr display (3840 by 2160) that clearly make a visible difference when watching photo's and movies! Why Samsung why?

Hi All, Just applied for mine in Pretoria today. The documents in post #40 and suggestions in #88 are correct, just make sure your full names or full initials are on the documents provided. (The bank gave me a letter with only my first name and surname - this is incorrect... All names must be...

Thanks

So neither are working wrt the bass output. You do not perhaps have the i0712, the one that last worked for me?

I was satisfied with the j0404, in an attempt to fix the bass issue I then tried the i1113, but to no avail.
