Showmax shuts down today

[geezer]

It actually ended on the 26th

True. I wanted to watch something on Showmax last Sunday evening and just got login errors. It was as if I did not have an account. and prompted me to sign up for a DSTV Compact account to view the Showmax content on DSTV Stream, even though I have DSTV Premium.

Never was able to login again since then.

I sailed the high seas to get the last two episodes of Die Kantoor, not interested in DSTV Stream as I only got Showmax for Die Kantoor and one or two other shows that I already finished before Showmax shut down

Activated DSTV Stream, but it sucks, buffering, most of the time SD quality from around 18:00 to about 22:00. Sometimes it just stops and have to restart the show.

Hello Peter?

Useless last I heard. Best bet may be the Multichoice call centre itself, and push (hard push usually needed) for a supervisor.

Is your internet fast and stable enough? Using Live TV.

That's what you get for not wanting to show Leon Schuster movies for several years.

Yep. Seems issues only with the non live content, currently with the series Ted.

 

[Smiggles]

Even the support page is gone. What a cockup.

Full le scrub mode you say

If you don't mind me asking, did you receive an email from them to sign up for the 12 month offer?

That one, and it did not come from Showmax, but from DSTv South Africa

Same. Can watch live sport on the TV with no issue.

Tried watching Ted and it would display at what looked like 10p, then buffered endlessing. Yet Ted played fine on my phone and tablet.

Thanks, I received neither of those two emails. It is a pity that they would discard paying customers that easily.
