DStv cancellation, downgrade changes

[Chevron]

I could really do with the +/- R 750 p/m saving right now. If only I could convince the Minister of Home Affairs to consider alternatives. One day.

Get a decent media player with Netflix support. Sorts out most wives

Gawd, they are going to COIN it even more now.

Nope, many people will just cancel.

I'm using Netflix and OpenView now. And stream the sport.

 

[milomak]

where do you stream the sport from?

 

[Segg]

This has been our issue too. So far the call centre has been helpful to cancel when we call once we return from the weekend. If you have a secondary smartcard they should allow you to do this.

Okay so from what I understand now is that this only applies to the primary subscription, one can still enable and disable a secondary smart card at will and pay pro rata through the portal and call center

and then?

Cancel and probably only turn it on for a few months in a year. Oh and get me to get his N54L up and running...

doesn't matter how we bitch `bout it, the average Joe will still subscribe to DSTV. what else they gonna do.

[Necuno]

Monopoly doing as they please...

But the masses loves it; all hail naspers!

Cancelled a while ago, gave my HD PVR away yesterday, was just gathering dust.

Still have a Space HD Openview decoder, though. But don't really use that either.

Between playing games on my i-pad, surfing the net, reading on my kindle, watching the odd downloaded series, dining with friends, doing house maintenance and holding a job - I realized that there is only so little time left for DSTV. So I downgraded from premium to family package and open a unit trust of R500 per month.

I burnt my fingers with this last month. I'm on the EasyView package but upgrade from time to time for a big sports game or so. Anyway, upgraded mid-month last month only to be told I can't downgrade until beginning of this month. Fortunately the damage was only a few hundred bucks, but I'm way less likely to upgrade in the future.

.

Learnt the lesson yesterday when I downgraded from premium to family. They can keep the money but I agree the chances for an upgrade, diminished drastically.

I second this, plus have Netflix and Xbox live. Been on lower Dstv package for a while and soon will cancel all-together.
