I noticed over the weekend that mention was made od new terms and conditions. Anyone read them?

Any mind blowing changes?
 
No, but the constant reminder to read them got very annoying.
 
I skimmed through it just now, the Mobile Decoder T&C's must be new plus there is also something about BoxOffice Service

BoxOffice Service

28 In order to be able to access and use the BoxOffice Service you must register for that service. Please refer to the Website or contact MultiChoice for further information on how to register for the BoxOffice Service.
29 Once you are registered for the BoxOffice service, MultiChoice will make available on your PVR Decoder for your selection Movie Titles for a period of time ("Availability Period").
30 The selection of Movie Titles and their Availability Period will be set out on the Website.
31 You may view a Movie Title for a period determined by us after your transaction for that Movie Title has been completed and an entitlement instruction has been sent by us to your PVR Decoder authorising the viewing of the rented Movie Title ("the Viewing Period").
32 During the Viewing Period, you may view that Movie Title as often as you wish.
33 At the end of the Viewing Period, the Movie Title will be deleted from your PVR Decoder, regardless of whether you have viewed the Movie Title in whole or in part, although you may thereafter enter into another rental transaction for that Movie Title.
34 At the end of the Availability Period the Movie Titles for that Availability Period will no longer be available for your selection.

Missing Channels on DSTV Select 1. Anyone else ?

Thought it was related to these new terms & conditions, but suddenly Channels 109, 250 & 400 were gone for about an hour.

They seem to be back now on Select 1.

Was about to canx. DStv & move over to TOP TV seeing as DStv's subs. have recently gone up as well.
 
I wonder when they going to launch Box Office and will it be available to all PVR users on all boquets
 
are these new terms and conditions to counter the new consumer act? ...

We will not be liable to you or any third party for any loss or damage which you may sustain or incur as a result of any error, system downtime or delay experienced by such Payment System Provider.

o and this bull...
You acknowledge that in standby mode certain Approved Decoders generate heat and that you will position your decoder with these factors in mind.

unable to fix the problem.. update T&C's ...

point 69 ... more bull

The new MultiChoice terms / conditions was onesided announced on the 4th of April, Consumer ACT came into play on the 1st of April. Under the new Consumer Protection ACT is it acceptable for a provider like MultiChoice to change the contract conditions without consent from the other party?
