Changes noticed / being made to Canal+ version of DStv

Yeah, still going for those who kept paying for it uninterrupted. And includes its own "CSN" sports channel.

No, the decoder now used is a modern one so no problem there.


I've got access to those due to past tech involvement, nice thing is there's little or no ads on it.

I had a friend who's dad persisted with it. But it came to having something like Compact for having 2 channels, at least could watch the rugby etc.

So cost nowadays?

They're quite good at putting best sports on that other channel at any given moment, but agree it's better to have a variety... unless you're a sports lover.

No idea what they pay for it now, last I heard I think around R350 pm so maybe pushing R500 now. May also be worth it for those into its KykNet soapies.

Update: I am a chop. I hadn’t paid for this month. Hence only seeing the free version channels. Paid now, all sorted.



I haven’t been following developments, so not sure if this has already explained? Opened up the DSTV stream app today, and hardly any channels are now visible? Used to be able to stream everything that would be seen as a DSTV premium subscriber? Has something changed, or is this just a current bug/glitch?

Haven't seen anyone post anything about that. Maybe related to you being off for some time, see how it is tomorrow?

I spoke to someone a short while ago and he had a similar problem. What sorted him out was to log in to DSTV stream using his cellphone number instead of his e-mail address. Maybe you can try that instead. If you logged in with your cellphone number, try it using your e-mail address.
 
Remember this one?
"Russia Today news is not available to DStv" :ROFL:

Years later.... just spotted it on the 251 Soweto TV lineup.
Have to wonder who's supplying it to the channel as well, lol

Bigger question is why are you watching or checking out soweto tv? :p
 
So what do you guys think may still be coming with this sport package(s) development?


I'm guessing they're going to stick in principle to the original modular idea they showed us years ago, but with a French twist.

Of the premium sports left (rugby, golf, tennis & motorsport) , I think they'll offer cheapest(?) (and easiest to replace) motorsport as a R50 or R75 add on to Sport, and then give a choice between golf and tennis (can't have both) , either @ R100.

Then around the time of the next price increase, think we'll get a 2nd Sport package with rugby, and same add ons.

I'm certain they'll never offer cricket and rugby together, they didn't with those earlier modules.

This needs a follow up regarding which sports get covered through their own Canal+ Sports package etc.

And then what we get.
