DStv's streaming limit not helping to boost subscriptions

[Daniel Puchert]

DStv's big streaming limit fail

The continued decline of DStv Premium customers over the past two years suggests the broadcaster's decision to slash its simultaneous streaming limit to one device did not help boost subscriptions.

In fact, there are indications that the move potentially accelerated annual Premium subscriber drops.

Sigh...

Increase subscription pricing for the "muh sports" people.

@DStvNothingOn I thought you said DSTV article season was over?

Imagine paying R1100pm to watch the springboks lose to Ireland

Then they can "gaan speel bietjie buite", touch grass or whatever.

Pretty sure they will drink themselves paralytic knowing they paid R1100.

R799 a month for streaming.

Is the main supersport channel included? Otherwise it's just eufa for 48 months per year worth of repeats.

Yes, all of them.
Olympics, rugby, cricket, soccer etc.

I subscribed for a few months because there’s a lot to see.
The quality of pirate channels is very bad.

So turns out DSTV logic isn't so...uh... logical after all.

1 device is pretty insane for a household but its been mentioned MANY times before, restrict the ip connection rather.

MonoChoice is stricter than your former high school principal.

But, there are things like VPN's, and remote sharing software, so back to square one.

Not really. You could set a 4 to 5 device concurrent limit etc and still use ip tracking but a single is insane. I mentioned it in the other thread, I reckon a portion of this is streaming cost for DSTV, they trying to manage that opex.

The bail of multichoice feels as long as the titanic movie

Whatever they hoping to achieve - the way they have gone about it, is beyond stupid.

MultiChoice has provided a timeline for when to expect a fix to its single-device streaming limit.

"However, Mawela asserts that limiting streaming to one device was working well and that they had seen an uptick in DStv streaming-only subscriptions."

Well worth the millions in performance bonus.
Stupid shareholders - hope they lose their money by not kicking DStv to listen to subscribers.
