Total DStv overhaul in South Africa

[Jola]

only care about rugby, F1, motogp

oh look, all three only available on premium, nothing has changed at all

Yeah, this is not going to work for me.

As it is, I use F1 TV and watch rugby at the local pub.

 

[Heisenborg]

Telkom isn't dead, in fact it's probably better service and price vs vumatel

Telkom consumer business died along with adsl.

 

[Dimpie (JIGSAW)]

Canal+ you're the one picking up the soap ... DSTV is the one with the smile ....

yeah, EINA

 

[sybawoods]

4K HDR as a value-add option somewhere ("premium+") is a missed opportunity.

I don't know how to tell you this but I'm typing this on a phone I got from Telkom.

I'm into the English Premier League, end stages of EUFA Champions League, WEC (all on DStv Compact), F1 (F1TV), GT World Challenge (YouTube), NLS (YouTube), LeMans (DStv Compact). I miss rugby but it's never been a focal sport of mine. Some local Currie Cup stuff will be appreciated

This part still gets me
historically disadvantaged groups
I mean how long do you remain so?

Always. Check your privelege.

 

[quovadis]

Common sense is that they split entertainment and sport, and price each at 50% (of DStv premium) plus a premium and then position DStv Premium as "value". Knowing them though it'll be priced separately at DStv Premium less 20% or something stupid like a bolt on to one of their smaller packages.

Is this my Makate moment? Lol

I did... It's empty

Let's hope it lasts for a while.
I'm really looking forward to my Boer War remuneration and retirement package.

You're the wrong demographic, nothing bad has ever happened to your demographic, ever in history...

I mean, you have a point.
Even these concentration camps looked like a luxury Kruger safari compared to the tincan s**t the current-previously disadvantaged occupy.

 

[pkid]

I would rather they just fix the streaming app.

Basic things like resuming where I have left off watching something "recorded" using the app. I mean it is 2026 and they can't even do that.

Big fail.

I have questions.

Formula One?
Motor Racing?
International Rugby?
Tour de France, Summer and Winter Olympics?
World Cup Rugby, Soccer, Cricket - men's and women's?
International tennis?

In other words, everything we get now (plus the Winter Olympics), if not, tell us what we are not going to get.

i will need these answers before considering the R399

So, no true, all encompassing, sports package.

 

[The Gilded]

The Sports package is all I need so long as it has the ESPN channels. I like the URC (big Glasgow Warriors and Lions fan) and the Currie Cup but don't care much for the boredom of international rugby. I just want soccer (big Pirates fan), the UFC, rugby league, baseball and American football.

Not all of us want to be pirates and I just want to sit on my couch watching the above instead of bothering with illegal streams.

Watch this space, they'll have to eventually.
