DSTV Drifta mobile getting switched off

[ABCpt]

So, haven't seen another thread about this, but the expected has happened. DSTV emailed to let me know that they will be switching off the DSTV Drifta transmitters end of October. Haven't used it much lately, but was useful to keep tabs on the scores while not at home.

There isn't. How do I watch football while I'm at the park for a braai. Mobile data is expensive.

Drop the video quality bit uses less data.

If they could zero rate the DSTV Now app data, it would be an alternative.

Have you tried watching football on a 7" tablet with a schitty resolution? It's called "not watching football' .
And mobile data is expensive

Rugby is no better. You can't even see them fondling each other in the scrum
