    DSTV decoder transfer

    I am being melodramatic? Perhaps. However, I hate unnecessary bureaucracy (including being instructed to visit an agent when the form can be downloaded). Why must I get and be responsible for copies of other people's IDs for example? And so on. If MC require additional information (ID, proof...

    DSTV decoder transfer

    LBXX, I thought I was offering my ex-gardener a good deal.. a decoder for free. Not a bureaucratic nightmare. Well there is one plus... at least MC has not ben earning any income from that decoder!! The last laugh..

    DSTV decoder transfer

    Our sports bodies are totally beholden to MC and Supersport for their bread and butter - especially now that the stadia are empty. MC and SS have them in their hands like politicians. So, will that cartel allow us to see live streamed sport outside of DSTV and SS anytime soon? I doubt it.

    DSTV decoder transfer

    Epah, I ask that question frequently as I nightly switch over to Britbox, Netflix, etc, due to the paucity of good stuff on the DSTV channels. Sadly the news and sport are almost all that keeps me shelling out roughly R900 monthly for their endless repeats and diminishing channels. An...

    DSTV decoder transfer

    I have just had the most bureaucratic out of body service experience from Multichoice! I had a small DSD decoder on Extraview which, upon moving, I gave to my ex-gardener. My though was that all I needed to do was to log into MyDSTV and ask MC to remove it from my account so that he could then...

    Is this airtime and data theft?

    Following poor service from one cellphone company, I recently ported my wife's number back to MTN. Pending conversion to a post-paid contract, it is presently on a "pay as you go" prepaid service. In the very recent past I have bought R90 (1 May), R60 (11 May) and R60 (31 May) worth of airtime...

    Samsung Galaxy A Series (2019)

    No NFC feature. Seems that in the RSA market, unlike some other markets, the Samsung Galaxy A-series phones do not come with NFC. If this is correct, this is a serious oversight because without it, 'tap and pay' mobile payments and 'tap and go' on Gautrain will not be available. This is clearly...

    Samsung phones A series and NFC

    I was fully intending to replace my once trustowrthy but aged and now-temperamental Samsung Galaxy S4 with a Galaxy A-series device, such as the A30 or A50. The S-series is simply unaffordable for me. Just as well I have hesitated in my decision making because it seems that the A-series phones...

    New Supersonic fibre prices

    "Sync" and "Async"? Surely Supersonic really intended to use the adjectives "SYMMETRICAL" and "ASYMMETRICAL", which could be abbreviated to "sym" and "asym"? Synchronous means: 1 - happening, existing, or arising at precisely the same time, 2 - recurring or operating at exactly the same...

    SABC through DVB-T2 on HD TV?

    I went to the Sentech website in an attempt to find out. The site is high on politico-corporate double-speak and the like. But... the supposed informational links labelled "Digital transmission", "Content services", "Digital audio broadcast" and "FM sites and frequencies" simply do not work...

    FNB backtracks on decision to block password managers

    I had this discussion with FNB's IT a while back when they changed their cellphone app to prevent the pasting of a password from a password safe via the clipboard which is auto-cleared as the pw safe is shut down. I believe that using such a pw safe is safer because: 1. it makes it easy to use a...

    Please Rate Supersonic

    I have recently upgraded technology and made the switch to Fibre, reluctantly leaving the excellent ADSL service provided by Axxess. The fibre infrastructure installed within the complex I live in is owned by MTN which severly limits one's choice of ISP, especially because MTN apparently does...
