Been having issues since yesterday, today it seems to have all packed up. Tried on 2 different accounts, and on both Ubuntu and Windows...

1. Live streams / catch-up won't play in Firefox
2. Live streams/ catch-up won't play in Kodi

Anyone else?

(Don't use Mobile or Smart TV's so can't test them)


Here's the error on Kodi.... doesn't look good

But, this secondary error seems to show it is just a balls-up.

Same issue here since last night -
I've signed out of all possible browsers and cleared cache on all devices - no streams want to run on any of 3 PC's - only dstv stream app on smartphone actually works - but not fun watching sport on a tiny screen when you have an overhead projector that shows it life size.....🧐
 
Having this issue in Chrome but Edge still seems ok (for now).
 
Seen some signs of fix-attempt activity, even got a usual "too many streams" false error just now. But still no go
 
yip, same for me on 3 windows 11 PC's. two are 23h2 and one is 24H2.
Tried Edge, Chrome and Firefox. In all instances the screen goes black, then after a few seconds returns to the channel select screen.
Stream does work on my Android 15 Google Pixel though.
Thanks DSTV.....for nothing.
 
New type of error, looks like they're really in the mud this time. I wonder if this sports-Saturday disaster affected Rest Of Africa too

Even the try again button doesn't work.

It is their new Wellbeing Feature. Gives the whole family a break to go outside and enjoy some fresh air. Also known as Focus mode.
 
Working.... for now

Turns out it was Brave Shield's "Block Trackers & Ads" feature. Deactivating that allows the stream to play.
Wow, so we have to let them track our browsers to use this R1000/month service?

Me too, but I turned off my uBlock Origin hours ago with no effect then. Could just be a temp fix, let's see...
