No warning from Dawie Roodt?

premier sports codes, like Formula,

never heard of a sport called "Formula" before , Formula 1, 2, 3, Ford, 3000 sure, but just plain "Formula"?
sounds like a sport for babies!

Yep

Honestly thought Canal+ was going to come with a R400-500 package to include all sports. What a wasted opportunity.

It's looking more promising for cricket fans now though, but info is still confusing so we'll have to wait a bit...

All sports is what Premium is for. Why would they make a second Premium package?

Premium Sports
Premium Entertainment
Premium Plus

Check out the cost of all sport elsewhere in the world, turns out DStv is now cheap.

Yes, but this is SA. With that logic we can say the same about the price of electricity elsewhere is more expensive. So, Eskom is now cheap.

Nope his sub has been pushed back to make way for Canal+ and their trumpets and horns

Sadly true

Thing is most sport is sourced internationally so no avoiding it (legally).

There is help if needed

 

[Neptuner]

@Brian_G coming back to my point, Dstv is still not answering what the SA'n market is demanding. A premium sports package, there are trade-offs on the one they proposed recently, international rugby and others not included. If its around R500 so be it.

Some of us live in hope, even if we know it's an illusion.
