DStv's "come back" promotion

Nice savings of R308, or you know you could save R1808 and take that money and go out with your friends and go have a great time while watching rugby.
 
At a time when I want to cancel my subscription... I had a good chuckle.
 
Aahh damn, just too late. My company has booked out tables at our local for the important games, staff and spouses welcome.
 
This is slap in the face of loyal subscribers. In fact, we should be rewarded by staying with DSTv, although the only thing worth watching is the Live Sports.
Maybe I must call their call centre and cancel my subscription so that I am offered the reduced price.\
Sies Man!

At R30 a draught, and 5 draughts a game, you can watch 5 games for the cost of the reduced subscription (R750). Add to that the beers + snacks you would have had anyway watching it at home, and you can probably bump that up to 8-10 games.

It has been a while since I've watched Rugby, so I'm not sure what SA's chances are, but if you assume they make it to the finals and you watch all the SA games, that is 8 matches, which fits the beer schedule. So you can watch the RWC SA matches without ever giving a cent to Multichoice, and you the pub vibe to go along with it instead of loud adverts.

Most places will also likely have drinks specials to lower that cost even further.

* This is, of course, viable only for a single person. If there are 2 of you it sadly becomes cheaper to pay the crooks at monochoice.

Don't you drink beer when watching rugby at home? The only real cost is the added premium of buying beer at the pub.
 
So they really sat in a strategy meeting and asked how we going to get them back, and they came up with this :ROFL::ROFL::ROFL::ROFL::ROFL:
How dumb can they be

Multichoice thinks we are so stupid, probably the Israel shareholders came up with the plan, Do private companies care about the country they conduct business in? How can a Middle class family afford R750 a month for rugby, a sport alot of South Africans love! In this situation our vote counts, vote by cancelling dstv, R500 a month fixed, just maybe consider it!

They should be showing the SA games on a FTA (Free to air) channel and earn more on advertising. All the other games can be on premium for those who are fanatics. Premium should be R500-R600.

They need to get people excited about sport again. Hiding it behind a paywall makes everyone less enthusiastic.

I took up their previous offer made to "come back" for a monthly sub of R689/m for 6months. What they purposefully/conveniently don't tell you is that it excludes PVR functionality at approx. R100/month. So all went well till the 4th month where I was cut off 3 times with no explanation as to why I all of a sudden was in arears for R400+-. when I finally was told about what the arrears was for, that's when I decided to tell them to stick it where the sun doesn't shine. I can't wait till ICASA opens the sport to outside companies, watch DSTV/ Multichoice go out of business in a heartbeat. If you work for them, time to get your CV out and polished up methinks

That’s r750 per month. Afaik you’d need at least two months subscription.

Or you can stream it from itv for $5 per month with a smart dns service.
