Why pay R400pm+ for a bunch of linear rerun kak when you can get 3-4 streaming services instead.

DSTV need to renegotiate with all their channel providers and explain that their kak tv is not worth much.

That's 1.5 million people that is gatvol of Sport.

And they still think its about the money. Its because they blocked our streaming to only 1 at a time.

Get a proper ITV service. I have never had any buffering.

No it's not free at all. If you want to watch quality sport and full coverage of most high tier sport, you need a proper, paid service.

Well This year we watched The Six-Nations, FA Cup, Melbourne and French Open, The ICC T20 and Now the Euro 2024 games for free legally.

EDIT: Think the only one we'll struggle with (as we haven't really had a look at) is The Olympics

The Rugby world cup was on BBC at no cost. They also do broadcast lots of other international rugby.

RugbyPass is another option.
