DSTV SuperSport Stream

This is pure k@k and the quality is eye bleeding bad.

Can't believe a Naspers can't get this right dstv is not a cheap service one would expect stuff like this to be flawless.

It's shocking.

I know the CEO of Multichoice and have mentioned the poor streaming quality on even the fastest connections. Months ago, yet zero improvement.

They need to drop flash and move over to HTML5 and get a better CDN provider.

Disgraceful in 2016 when their users are not always near the decoder/TV.

Maybe because its a value added service so they cant really make money off it.That could be the reason why they dragging there feet to get it fixed.
 
For the first time I can recall in a long, long time I managed to watch the Singapore F1 race on supersport.com without it buffering, stalling, freezing or seizing at all. Not once.

Thank you Supersport.com, and keep it up.
 
Try the streams on DSTV now instead, always seems to be better than streaming directly from supersport

Its shocking how useless their streaming service is. I wonder how much mybroadband gets paid to write articles like this http://mybroadband.co.za/news/broad...ming-the-best-way-to-watch-sport-at-work.html

My dad is a premium subscriber, but doesn't have a PVR. So he cant stream because of that. So nearly 1k a month, and you still have to have extras to be able to use the streaming service. Utter rubbish. For what reason exactly, is the PVR going to be used for while streaming?
 
Randomly streamed SS channels off my iPhone most of yesterday, including the Boks Aus game, and the F1 this morning until the cricket started, with no issues.

Had one or two freezes during the F1 but that was my wifi rather than the SS app.

Streaming the SA Aus cricket now and also no problem so far.

It's so inconsistent - football streamed perfectly yesterday, last week, nada
 
Struggled to watch the rugby as well. More of us should post of the dstv forum, hopefully someone will listen.
 
Yah, the SuperSport streams are volatile at best. You know that your service is bad when an ‘pirated’ stream is superior.
 
Is there a way to change the quality of the stream? I'm on a 8mb Capped account and my stream at times buffer and then jumps a few minutes ahead and then jumps back to what I already watched.... at times watching a show it will jump a few minutes ahead showing the video but sound is still behind. (sorry, not sure how to explain this :P)

Standard behaviour for supersport. It works one day, then goes for a ball of poo the next. And no, you can't change the stream quality: it's permanently set by multichoice at "poor".
