DStv Streama launch date and price announced

But I don't think this box is worth R1299. So there again, DSTV missed a trick, because now it's a case of competing with an established Mi Box, Stick etc. Boxes that people are pretty much familiar with. I think everything DSTV does, is a bit rushed, without much in terms of thought process.

Could have had a Launch special to first 1000 customers at say R799 or something, because then customers would feel a bit easier. Spending 1300 not knowing what the box is capable of, or how it will handle various apps etc is a big red flag imo.

I mean Xiaomi is in the country, they could have partnered with Xiaomi to release a DSTV branded Mi box, with DSTV and Showmax Pre installed.
or just give it free when you sign up.
 
So hardware wise, the box is a bit on the "older" more generic side in my opinion, but not horrible and perfectly capable of doing what is needed.

We unfortunately know that Multichoices "efficient" coding is a bit of a joke really, so I don't expect the box to perform very well.

No google store is a non starter for me. Will the dstv app be different on their box?
 
The DStv Streama does not have an app store, instead it comes with ready loaded apps ready for use.

DSTV needs to come up with better and cheaper solutions to invite me to spend 1299 for a device that on old technology. It seems there head of departments are still in the 80's as they dont promote what they have. Sell the package. Spend 1299 +699 if i want to stream...
