Big change at DStv

[Swa]

Or lower it, or separate it :-/

Think it was something like R50 when I joined. Don't know what you mean by separate as it's an add-on. Unless you mean separate fees for Extraview and PVR. Unfortunately I don't think they'd have separate ones and lower the price so don't want to give them ideas.

Ok, that's at least going on.

I'd be happy if I can get Kyknet on a lower priced package again. Can already get WWE.

Always thought they should allow those XV and PVR "features" to be used separately, would drop it somewhat, but either way it's extreme. Take EasyView for instance - the R30 becomes R150 p/m if you want PVR... that's just utter BS.

PVR access isn't something I think should be charged, and it should work without a subscription. But that would likely require a software update.

charge for xtraview for all i care, its a full dstv for R120. PVR should be free.

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

F1, the same.

No big change at all.

F1, not really, since you can get the official stream at $60-$80 per year.

Turns out that has happened but will now be a choice, one or the other for a lesser price :-/

Post in thread 'All DStv’s new packages and prices revealed'

Monday at 4:30 PM

Current structure from the 17th, making prices equal between the two choices on all packages planed for later.

Well done DStv , just took you 32 years and ChatGPT to workout can have a Sports chanel on its own.

You can't congratulate a half arsed attempt. The premium sport is still missing from this package. It's like giving a participation award for someone who came second last in a race.

Extremists.
Prior managements at Multichoice were extremists, wouldn't dare try any new model for fear of a crack in the door-opening causing an unstoppable flood.
Sports lovers are somewhat extremists too, demanding all, not too practical most of the time.

Well done the Frenchies (not so @Lupus ) , they opened the door a crack.
Let's just hope they don't take another 32 years to open it properly, 1 or 2 years tops guys, be sensible

Soccer is not a sport so lets just call it the Cricket Channel.

It's not a sports package. It's Compact renamed.

It's a package with 100+ non-sports channels and only something like 7 or whatever sports channels.
