SportyTV has just launched on DStv

[wingnut771]

So, nothing on SABC? Where is the sports minister? Does he only care about the Boks?

Wondering if Openview is basically showing the SportyTV app content without subscription or all of the games.

Saw on the Android SportyTV app Mexico v SA is "locked".

Will have a look tomorrow night, and compare with DStv.

Or maybe it shows already on Openview EPG if or not.

Not on Openview's SportyTV

But on SABC SportHd

Different programming on SportyTV currently running on DStv and Openview.

Stupid question, if we sub and download the SportyTV app on a media player then we can watch on a TV?

Should be able to Chromecast to a TV.

If you don't need HD or 4K, DStv Access stream is R99 p/m and likely better quality for on a TV.

It's also on Premium. So now Premium subscribers have multiple channels to watch the same game on

Have you got it on satellite Premium, or can just check it on streaming Premium? Sometimes they make mistakes with stuff put on streaming.

(I can't confirm satellite as my usage isn't standard there.)

(And I've seen it on Premium streaming.)

It's weird that they put a channel on Premium to compete with Supersport during the WC lol. Would have made more sense if Sportytv was only for lesser packages like that UKTV channel.

What could be nice is the different commentary choices - use one TV for the audio, another for the HD

Why do that when you can just watch sabc for free?

Their commentators always sound like they're 5 black labels deep in a shebeen somewhere.

I wonder what commentary sporty will have? Will sabc be in English?
