Pretty much this. Don't see many of us paying to use this forum, got to pay the salaries of Staff Writer somehow...

That's because you are using the MyBB Lite freeware version, hardcore MyBB users have MyBB Professional v3.0 or MyBB Enterprise v3.1a. Cracked codez are available on PirateBay, on the DarkWeb or from @PappaSmurf .

Am i missing something here? I have Premium subscription with a dish and thus streaming login.
If I login, I get no Sky News streaming (although its on my main package).

Then day-to-day the available streaming changes? Today apparently I can only view Aljazeera or eNCA, whereas yesterday I could view those plus BBC and CNN etc?

So I just tried to sign up for the R29/pm streaming package because the parental units visiting over December want to watch "Die nuus".

When it was time to confirm payment, I got a 404 :rolleyes: :ROFL:

The streaming only package is super expensive. Why even bother just get the dish version and get more.

The streaming package doesn't include the audio channels. What a joke.

and the quality is way better on the dish compared to streaming

I tried to get the streaming package to try - it is month to month, so I can cancel again. But, it is impossible. I was a DSTV customer before, so still have a customer number. However, when I log in, the sys em wants me to link my customer nr to my login. The system is then supposed to send me an OTP, and nothing arrives.

The online chat agents simply do not know to resolve it. The issue has been escalated 3 times since Saturday, but nothing. Tonight on the chat, the agent said that I must have a decoder to link a streaming only package.... Had no knowledge of the announcement that streaming packages require no decoder. It is now yet again escalated to the technical team.
