DStv repeats not as bad as you think - MultiChoice CFO

[Johnatan56]

Not really a direct competitor, lol have you seen how old the content is on Amazon?

These are not competing products but complementary.

If anyone thinks Netflix or Amazon is any different they are trying to fool themselves.

On Netflix at least there is quite a bit of newer content as well, the South African catalog isn't the best though, but still find it a lot better than Dstv while being substantially cheaper.

To be honest they all repeat everything 24/7, Sky in the UK , the American channels when I checked into IPTV.
Regarding the last one IPTV, never in my life have I seen so many adverts - Ghecko whatever every freakin 15min.
DirectV - all repeats.

Well you can't compare the two anyway so it's pointless anyone trying to is just trying to justify their decision.

I find them more complementary I have shows and stuff I watch on DSTV that is not on Netflix and vice versa.

And cheaper is relevant term as Netflix misses a big gap DSTV covers.

So you cancelled it when it was more than it is now?

Here are all the DStv price increases for 2020

Multichoice has announced price increases for its DStv packages for 2020.

Even with the PVR fee that only pushes it to R919.

Cancelled about 6 years ago and i can recall it was around R950 a month. That's what I can recall.

In 2020 I don't think the problems are repeats...it's that people no longer want to watch things on a schedule. They want to watch things when they want to. This notion of something being on at a specific time is outdated. Even if Dstv was R50 p/m a lot of people just wouldn't bother with it anymore.

I mean DSTV has catch up I watch things when I want sure not all of it is but there is a fair amount

 

[werfie]

yes... because the way to change people's perceptions is to tell them they are perceiving wrong.

Than you were being charged for extra stuff, cause it's only R920 now.

DStv repeats not as bad as you think - MultiChoice CFO

MultiChoice CFO Tim Jacobs said the new TelkomONE streaming service will show that DStv is better than what people think and that repeats are not as bad as perceived.

This week Telkom launched TelkomONE in partnership with the SABC, offering a wide range of TV and radio content to users.

These mandjies are so wrapped in their own hyper bool of a reality it is not even funny.

Not at all. If you mean sport there's many sport betting websites that stream games.

I have been down that road I will stick to DSTV it works every time. The price you pay for DSTV and all the sport is a bargain

Of course the 30 yr old car that still kinda has 2 gears and 3 working pistons will be better than the car being built out of feathers and balsa wood with triangular wheels

 

[Aghori]

He is smoking some strong stuff to say that "it is not that bad". It's his job though so it's expected. Conflict of interests etc.

 

[Not_original]

Because Netflix, Amazon Prime and YouTube are definitely not providing a competing product to DSTV.

None of these three platforms have repeats.
Netflix and Amazon Prime don't have any adverts, whilst adverts on YouTube are minimal if you have a subscription.

It isn't repeats that are the worst thing, it is the forced advert breaks that are the most noticeable.

The adverts are not the worst, it's the fact that they keep on advertising themselves to top tier subscriptions, why do you even bother, its not like they can go to any higher packages. Yes there are lower packages which also get these adverts but switching to SS1 and getting a big fat finger should be advert enough for the low tier packages no?

 

[Pineapple Smurf]

The repeated DSTV articles each day is more annoying than the DSTV repeats

 

[Dimpie (COMPUTEK)]

Ou Timmy is 'n "box"

 

[Thor]

Netflix does not have repeats.

 

[mercurial]

What he said makes sense if his name is Timmay!

Yes Tim your DStv product is probably not quite as bad as one launched through a Telkom / SABC partnership for R49/month. You must be so proud of that incredible achievement. Your marketing department should try, 'Yes we suck but not as much as TelkomOne. Subscribe now!'
