I'm just commenting on the cost comparison. With a regular DStv sub, you get access to all their channels as well as unlimited satellite data. There are no additional costs for data consumption.Satellite bandwidth would be too expensive on these satellites, and being geostationary it would be heavy latency.
They tried something decades ago, one decoder even had a separate smartcard slot for the proposed service - failed to get going.
With their streaming service, you need to provide a ton of your own data if you watch a lot of TV. You are not costing DStv a cent in satellite bandwidth. Yet the service almosts costs the same, and the slightly more expensive satellite service includes the streaming service.
What DStv is telling people is that you'd be an idiot to ever take the standalone streaming service. At the very least, go halvies with a friend or family member where one person gets the satellite side of things and the other person gets the streaming.
