Big change at DStv

DStv unveiled new colours and branding alongside a total overhaul of its packages at a media event at its Randburg headquarters.

 

[NR7]

DStv Sport will not offer Formula 1, MotoGP, premium international rugby, such as Springbok matches, golf, and ATP tennis.

lol

Would be interesting to see a grid of channels vs. package. People have been asking for years for a cheaper (Sports only) or (Entertainment only) package without paying for the part they don't want (or more specifically, for the ability to handpick specific channels). Stream-only pricing needs work, though.

Nothing exciting here. Another dstv puff piece sponsored by whoever gets the payout.

 

[The_MAC]

ok, jokes aside, what is the big reveal?

 

[FiestaST]

Puff piece 'R Us.

 

[daveza]

So it's still Premium if you want to watch the Boks, which is basically everyone.

F1, the same.

No big change at all.

 

[Roo!]

ok, jokes aside, what is the big reveal?

Same ****, different day/package name..

 

[Heisenborg]

So the same as renaming a town basically

Its not R799, its R799 plus R100 PVR fee.

Every myBB headline about DSTV, Canal+ or Multichoice should always just end with "but Premium scribers are still going to be screwed"
Like "Big change at DSTV but Premium subscribers are still going to be screwed"
Or "149 DSTV channels for R399.50 but Premium subscribers are still going to be screwed"
Or "DSTV plans to launch a dedicated sports package in South Africa but Premium subscribers are still going to be screwed"

R799 is the streaming price, R979 is the decoder price

Meh… those are two most important pieces of sport for me. From my point of view… nothing changed. I’ll stick to F1TV and stream share thanks.

 

[IamMe]

Are they gaslighting us lol

 

[wingnut771]

R799 is the streaming price, R979 is the decoder price

R979 plus R100.

 

[Nineteeneightysix]

They should have called it DSTV Some Sport

 

[Lupus]

R979 plus R100.

Can't actually see that under the pricing anymore. Seems the xtraview isn't charged either

What's missing these days?

 

[Swa]

Not the sport package people want. Just a few sports for the lower class masses.

Cause the sports people want, will cost the price of premium anyway.
