Big change at DStv

[Brian_G]

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

No it's still charged.

@wingnut771 it went up to R120 last year...

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.

I'm sure we'll get some sort of grid or table in the next couple of weeks. Stupid if they don't.

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

Well close enough to discourage most discount seekers here. But ratios will change again if/when the movies/series get better again.

Yup sadly, but it's what I've kept saying sports are the pricey parts of the package.

Thing is, cheap sport is a (legal) myth in Africa.

World wide, hence why even other sport packages are selected games.

Sort of agree but not sure of what other packages offer elsewhere.

Like winning the lotto, some have one type of luck and others another

The "Sports" package name is misleading IMO.

Call it something like "Sports Lite" or something to not trick people into thinking this is actually a full sports package.

Why I always said it wasn't a reality. And I don't know why this is reported as a sport package.

Technically it's an access fee that includes the PVR and one extraview connection. If only they'd drop that.

@Jan has been busy today




Nah, not expecting much more really..

Or lower it, or separate it :-/

New colours and branding.


Yes, that is what subscribers have been calling for for years now.

Multichoice delivers again.

ANOTHER article ?



...and once again "SPORTS my a$$"

 

[Splinter]

R979 plus R100.

This is something that pisses me off with DSTV.

 

[Brian_G]

• DStv Compact Plus, at R549 per month, was not mentioned. MyBroadband understands it will remain largely unchanged.

Ok, that's at least going on.

Why is Sports and News channels so difficult for these people

 

[daveza]

We want the sport we are getting now - just the sport, none of the other rubbish.

But you know that already.

Another channel loss spotted, but this one only for anyone on their Indian package - channel 454 Sun, at end of month. Also a bit strange as I think it's still the only Southern India channel.
