Just let it sit there.. i suspect their AAA servers are abroad ? as it started having issues when international link died. content seemed to be ok but likely cashed for some titles while others just never played?

Meh.. weird that youtube works perfectly.. i guess they have chaches here
 
Mybroadband hates Showmax this claim of 720p as maximum video resolution is a lie and is not first time mybroadband does this

No changes have been made to browser, TV, or decoder-based streaming, but MultiChoice said it is currently busy with other measures and continues to monitor the situation along with locals ISPs.

“If needed, we’ll step in with further traffic reduction measures,” the company said.

Your second image relates to Download quality - the article is about Streaming.

The other image clearly state 3GB per hour which is same estimation as mybroadband beloved Netflix 1080p estimated data usage if one argues about 3GB does not mean 1080p
Download quality proves showmax has 1080p

I won't you chose that information to support your agenda is clear at my site Showmax has 1080p video resolution but because you prefer telling readers Showmax don't support 1080p You use information that may not be update in awhile

I took that from their own website. If that's the information Showmax is disseminating, and someone uses it, then while it may be erroneous, it is not a lie.

Showmax says 720p, if they're lying then take it up with them.

Now either prove MyBB are lying or apologise to the nice forum.

They do not support 1080p, they do not support 4k, they do not support 8k.

Tho 8k, is a bit thin on the ground at the moment, so we will excuse them for that omission.

No sport to use as a motivator to get people to sign up, and the rest of their content is not worth paying their subscription for. So it has been put on hold. Their app is still not up to scratch yet either. My view.
 
Is this change still in place? Trying to watch live TV on the DSTV App for iOS but max is 576p. Was hoping they would revert back to higher quality streams by now. Or is my app faulty and I should try to delete and reinstall? Thanks
