Gone with DStv

Subbull said:
Through this pathetic action of virtue signalling, DSTV are demonstrating that they are willing to turn their back on an entire segment of society in order to join like minded activist orginisations on their Social Justice Warrior ladder. My message to DSTV is that I am cancelling my DSTV account not because I am a fan of Hofmeyr's music, but because you DSTV have become far to big for your boots and through this pathetic but dangerous action , are raising the temperature in an already flammable public discourse. Lets all hope that in years to come when students of economics 101 look back at the reasons why DSTV failed, that textbooks will record how poor ideologically motivated decisions caused a global media orginisation to collapse.

Yes. That is the stupidity of the human race. They don't think further than the bottom of the empty glass they have just emptied of its brandy and coke. Destroy the decoder by all means but why the antenna?

That shrinking market you are talking about are also the ones invested in MCs shares. Wait until this spills over into the share market. If it does MC could find itself gone almost overnight.

There is no room in the board room for this sort of BS. I would not be surprised at all if investor pressure comes along and forces them to retract this rubbish in a few days.
There is another angle that someone needs to look into and that is if MC have come close to breaching their licence conditions.

Either way, MC have pushed those sitting on the fence to embrace other technologies to get their sports fix
 
Steve is a giant poephol but I will back anything to get rid of monochoices monopoly, we need new players in the field, netflix and amazon is a good start but unfortunately we need an affordable sports option that isn't daylight robbery, so carry on smashing those dishes and decoders.

Only thing I disagree with Multichoice is that they claim that it is due to racims, but what about Somizi Mhlongo, who is one of the main faces of Multichoice? He is one of the biggest racists in South Africa, but is still on DSTV. Why is he also not being banned?

What did Somizi do?

“racist white South Africans hoping that Zuma’s fall will give them a white president or bring back apartheid”. He says their hopes are “a true denial of the reality.”

It will be stable for now. Wait until their annual statements are released. Let's see them reporting on profits, expansion, new content, subscriber statistics, projections. That is what investors are interested in. Investors are not interested in what happens today. They want to see their investments grow. They are also interested in future projections. If there are no growth, then they are out and the dumping of shares may start.

Is that before or after the RWC?

Because it's easier to sell the decoder on Gumtree than sell an antenna.

Is that what he said? Holy crap, is that perceived as racist? He specifically addressed a certain segement...racist white people. He did not say all white people or even that all white people are racist.

People have a problem with that, but see no problem with "blacks are the architects of apartheid", but argue "freedom of speech". Geezuz
 
Wonder how many of the people who destroyed their decoders and satellites are on Price Fix. :unsure:

Price fix is just the same as a mobile contract. Locks you in for the contract period. I suppose if you are drunk enough to be stupid, you are not going to think about the contract clauses, which most have not read anyway.
Drink verdriet is real.
