Use TVMucho from around R140 per month... All UK, French, German & Irish free to air channels.

"Behold! These are all the fsks I give..."

 

[Lily-Rose]

Once again DSTV have graciously procured another Channel with outdated TV Series. PATHETIC!

My Family from Season 1 - that must be at least 15 years old if not more.

If this is the best they can provide for the ridiculous monthly premiums then
1. Somebody is doing a VERY POOR job
2. Bonuses must be AWESOME
3. It's time for me to cancel the Premium Subscription

Isn't this the same channel that was supposed to launch on Openview and then suddenly delayed?

Once again dstv doing everything to sabotage free tv.

Anyways...no fcks to give.

Why?

With kodi or jellyfin or iptvnator or even just vlc, and a couple of m3u8 sources, you can do it free...if you want of course.

SABC decided to force payment for it by making dstv broadcast it. DSTV have been in bed with the ANC for a while now. The more dstv is failing the more it is being hijacked by the cadres.

I never understood this argument. What's wrong with old, classic series? Why should people only watch brand new shows? Do you only listen to brand new music?

According to the article the channel will also show brand new stuff btw.

Another Chanel to show the same repeats that have been repeated on all the other bbc channels twenty times over

 

[wbot]

Ok it does look like every single show on this channel is already on other bbc channels on dstv. Yikes

But at least now you have more options to watch the same repeats :wink:

That is true. And people say dstv doesn't care about its customers.

 

[Digitaluser]

Saturday 17 December and still no BBC UKTV channel 134

Saturday 17 December and still no BBC UKTV channel 134

Does it matter? Pretty much every single show is already on other bbc channels.
