DSTV Streaming broken via Afrihost?

[werny]

Hi All,

Anybody else having issues with DSTV Streaming via their Afrihost connection? When I try and stream from either the streaming app, or trying to log in I just get cloudfront errors.

This happens on both my Afrihost Fibre and Afrihost Fixed LTE.

As soon as I switch over to my Vodacom or Telkom Mobile LTE connections the streaming works perfectly, switching back to Afrihost I get cloudfront errors again. Definitely an issue with Afrihost or their upstream provider.

This is the error I get when doing to dstv.stream and try and login. Going to now.dstv.com just results in a blank screen.

Hello.

We received a few complaints yesterday and we have logged it with our upstream provider for further investigation.

Great, thanks Afrigirl. Hopefully sorted soon.

Hello.

We received a few compliments yesterday and we have logged it with our upstream provider for further investigation.

Compliments are ussualy not an issue. It's complaints that is the problem.

Disney+ and Afrihost / Vuma

Hi, Anyone having issues logging into Disney+ Tried logging in a few times and all I get is a black screen. I called Disney and the lady asked if I am on Afrihost with Vuma (which I am). She says there is any issue with Afrihost and Vuma. They said there is an Adblock and vpn error.

Hi, having exactly the same issue with Afrihost. Normal Vodacom works fine, but soon as I connect back to WiFi (Afrihost fibre), it gives that error...

Hi.

Unfortunately, there is no feedback yet.

 

[DapperDanMan]

any updates or developments regarding the streaming service outage.

Highly unlikely, as it is already Friday afternoon.

Please make alternative weekend plans - perhaps a hike in nature?

Just an FYI guys. All seems to be working again. - At least on myside.

EDIT: The site loads but seems Akamai is still holding the block on the streams. @Afrigirl @AfriNatic

There's a troubleshooting session ongoing with Akamai. I'll update as soon as possible.

So Catch-up works but live stream isn't working yet

 

[Cassius254]

@Afrigirl Can confirm Live stream services still seems to be giving errors via both web browser and app on all connected devices over both WIFI and Ethernet connection.
