DSTV Recently Watched

[Dean]

For the past few months, DSTV Now in the browser stopped updating the "Recently Watched" tab.
I think the issue may have started some time in November, but open to correction on that. It always worked perfectly before.

That tab used to update FIFO/first-in-first-out with the latest 6 channels that I'd watched, and would rotate out the oldest one each time a new one was watched and therefore added to the 6 channel list.

But for the past few months, it stopped updating and shows the same 6 channels regardless of which channels have been watched recently in the profile.

Anyone been having the same issue?
And anyone managed to fix it? Clearing site data in the browser for dstv.com didn't help.

Worse for me, the list just went blank and it never added anything to it again.

To fix it, among hundreds of other issues, you would need to fix the muppets at Multichoice....

Works okay on my end. I’ll try on the browser when I stream the Spurs/City game.

imagine using the Man Utd logo for a Man City game

So when you watch a different channel which isn't on that list already, it gets added in?

Just tried a few times with a few different channels and yeah, it doesn't add the new channel to recently watched.

ahh ok, so it's not just me. Appreciate your feedback. Hopefully a fix is in the pipeline.

it seems like a lot of people still have DSTV I though many people gave it up as its very expensive and always has repeated shows

Sports is the only reason I am still on to be honest. If they didn't bring back ESPN not too long ago, I would have cancelled. The value at the time was questionable at best.

Agreed. It is a very useful tab and it sucks that it isn't working the way it should.
