DStv working on "proximity control" system for increasing streaming limit

I mean their existing tech is doing a fantastic job detecting even 1 stream on the same device if you refresh
This is bound to work as well if not better

But it will only work if you buy their device, one for each connection you need, so for home, one device, for watching from your guesthouse when traveling, you will need to buy another obsolete end of life device, from them.

Their boxes are bad, and this is the only way they can think of to move inventory.

You get the idea.
 
I will stick to the explora because satellite broadcast looks way better than the 720p kuk they steam.

Nvidia shield for the rest.

One day when I get sport somewhere else its koebaai meraai
 
We made a problem, and you will literally pay for the solution!

Family has been happy to pay for the high DSTV packages because other members can use the streaming side which makes the ridiculous price somewhat bearable but with this it's just pointless lmao.

I was being very sarcastic:ROFL:
 
They should restrict logins, every 5th login, have a new otp

Nope. I'm not going to stop watching cricket. I'll subscribe to Premium if it comes to that.

Watch, all the Cricket on BBC iPlayer and ITV with a VPN. Only cost, is the VPN ... , bugger the ridiculous Premium subscription price. I can log in from home, work, or the guesthouse when out of town. No bullshit, or special dispensation required. No being called a Pirate by money grabbing Marketing Droids, that DSTV rescued from a scrap heap somewhere.

Agreed. WTF. Although multiple IPs would potentially pose a problem. TV connected to main fibre router, sibling connected to backup LTE connection on the other side of the house etc

They want those extra Premium Subscriptions, very badly - need some thing, to flog to Canal+ , something, that is apparently good value, and not a pile of smelly dwang.

Really sad, hopefully Amazon or Disney will get the streaming rights so you can have alternatives.

Don't mind, paying for Amazon, or Disney, but sports can be had for free, from numerous websites, quality is not so great but hey, it is mahala, and a good add-blocker is highly recommended. Good malware detection and removal setup, might also not be a bad idea.

Then there is IPTV, starting with cheap as chips, Alibaba, Aliexpress or Made-In-China, services, to those that charge $20+ a month. Millions of choices to be made.

Then you can get a decent selection of sports, free from BBC iPlayer, ITV, Peacock, etc. Maybe not all the games or sport types you might like, but again, it is Mahala, you only pay for the VPN.

DSTV is not the sole source of Sports viewing, tho they have a wide enough selection, under one roof, to keep most people happy.

Lots of choice out there, choose what you are comfortable with, and enjoy.

They just don't get it do they?
Kids are at home (old enough to look after themselves), mom and dad go away for the weekend but Dad wants to watch the rugby on his iPad. But little Suzie wants to watch a show on her iPad while older brother Koos is watching on the TV in the lounge.
But now Dad can't watch anything because he is not connecting from the same IP?!

100%

I'm able to watch all the sports my heart desires without DSTV.
 
Hahaha...instead of simply reversing this whole thing, they're trying to retrofit it.
Best of luck, it has bitten you in the ass once. It's going to happen again.
