DStv's big Netflix deal is here - What it means for South Africans

[supersunbird]

wow, so like, when you get raped you have the option to pay for lube and a condom to make the experience a bit more bearable?

why in the name of sweet zombie jesus would I want to pay for a POS service plus add on cost for a better service if I can get the latter directly?!?!

You are clearly not a sport addict errr I mean "fan".

 

[xodosman123]

We have such a limited Choice here, we need some serious competition. The goverment with their Greedy hands is totally to blame, same with all the Cellular failures....eskom...the list goes on and on.

oh I am, but the only two sports I watch are available for R700 and R200 per year respectively, straight from the source:

https://www.formula1.com/en/subscribe-to-f1-tv.html#en-ZA

https://secure.motogp.com/en/subscribe

and as long as you avoid the news on race day, torrents for both of those are up later on the same day

Only 2 sports? Not a real addict fan.

 

[Swa]

Bit misleading to call this a partnership.

Someone else called you that too? I'd like to buy them a drink.

 

[Deleted member]

No thanks. Rather buy a Raspberry Pi 4 2gb for R700. Netflix works great.

i love it, the Pi4 4gb is one of the best things i've ever bought.

Poor you

 

[backstreetboy]

Why not just get a MiBox / MiStick / Ematic?

There's that as well. I just watch more on the Pi.

 

[elf_lord_ZC5]

Why not just get a MiBox / MiStick / Ematic?

More powerful device, software options are unlimited ...

I will never payR2000 + money to access Netflix. There are plenty of set-top boxes out there that are competitive and allows for one to even access other steaming services. There has never been value for money when it comes to DSTV. When you subscribe to IPTV for example, you get value for a fracation of what people pay for DSTV.

I bought this decoder yesterday from Pep and am struggling to stream Netflix via this decoder via the satellite dish. Any help? I'm on Compact.

 

[supersunbird]

Poor you

Your microaggresions won’t work on me, got to go macro at minimum.

You did not get 100/100 fiber to go with it, shame ...

 

[Nithan15]

So its just an explora and an explora ultra models, what happened to the plus model............nevermind different brands

Modern TV iOS system makes these decoders obsolete..............

 

[NR7]

What did the Explora cost initially? I recall R1999...

Explora 1 launched at R1999 in 2014. Explora 2 launched at R1499 in 2016. Explora 3 launched at R999 in 2018.

They're been butchering it over the years to cut costs. First one had a 2Tb HDD. Explora 2 had a 1Tb instead. Explora 3 had no cooling fan or front panel LCD.

If the Explora Ultra was R1999 with a 2Tb HDD, front panel display and the price would be more palatable.

No...? What is fibre 100?
I paid R3700 and got a new dish and everything. But it seems I cannot sign into Netflix using my sisters username and password with the new dish and decoder machine?
