An end of an era/error.

Still waiting for my refund. I'm not joining DStv with a 300% price increase. No thanks.

You get it for 99 a month, special promo pricing for existing Showmax customers.

This I know because Hanno/Jan/Bianke/Shaun/DailyNewbs that resigned told me so.

Only for a year though. I used to buy Showmax vouchers for R50 / R60 per month.

When I tried to convert my Showmax subscription to the promotional offer on DSTV, neither the DSTV call center nor the Showmax call center knew how to activate that. They now lost me as a client and I wonder how many others they lost.

DailyNewbs? DailyBewbs you mean

Take it for a year, then lots of time on your hands to fight further re the issues

This requires him to pay for entertainment, he's spent a lot of time setting up a piracy ring here. He's probably just upset he cannot charge someone else for his Showmax creds

RIP, was a great celebrity

once Showmax stopped the football streaming on the Television and only had it for phones and tablets, that is when I said Goodbye to them already

I've moved on and I'm not touching DStv with a 10 foot barge pole. My mom had to download the app to get a statement that didn't print blank. The online option just gives you a blank statement. Madness.

 

[Gravedigger]

Sorry, neh.
