How DStv stopped my mate Dave from pirating

For the record, this is not an advertisement. All sponsored content is marked as such. In fact, MyBroadband receives zero advertising from DStv.

then why post such dribble?

bloody agent.

you pay a massive premium to get ads every 10 minutes?

as a website in 2016 you know that if you charge for acess, you cannot show ads as well. yet monochoice does just that.

monochoice is a cancer on this continent. and supporting them makes you just as bad.

and if this friend "dave" really stopped torrenting series it was because he started streaming. your article is bad and you should feel bad.

this is like claiming to be a free thinking indipendant newspaper, and then publishing a blatantly bias article encoraging readers to support the majority party. its pathetic.
 
This article is incorrect.
Game of Thrones isn't the latest series anymore. That would be Narcos season 2 and Stranger things. Both of which would stream perfectly fine on Netflix and are not available on DSTV.

This is true. This is harsh, but true

Nailed it.
 
ok. so lets break it down.

we are here as a community to give advice on all sorts of things.

there are threads talking about how to use netflix to cut the cord.
the clear technological trend worldwide is to get rid of cable/sattelite TV and move to online based viewing. pay for what you want to see directly to the people making it so you dont get to see ads.

then the very site we use as this platform goes and posts an article like this stating exactly the opposite of what we are all saying.

this article is not only badly put together, badly written and blatantly an add despite claiming to not be one, but it also undermines the advice we give, thus alienating the forum members.

in short this article is insulting to us, the forumites, simply for being published.

rpm please remove this drivel, and rather post a guide on how to set up netflix and how to stream sport legally by paying for it without giving monochoice a cent.
 
The article is really badly written if it's not promo content. It's actually embarrassing for MyBB, the article is just sad and the fact that Disqus readers and the forums are nailing it should be enough proof...

Sad day for MyBB...
 
I think there is something more going on here.

I think MyBB's ad revenue was down last month (the main revenue generator- the US election thread was quiet). To fix this, they write a trollish article that guaranteed people to come over to the forums and vent.
 
I would rather have an article about how to move away from torrenting and DSTV, towards streaming. Rather tell people how they can legally stream their favourite shows and sports, than to promote one of the biggest TV hindrances this country has ever seen.

Very poor form, considering the origins of this site, and what it originally stood for which is to stand up against monopolies...

nah margret van wyk thread....
 
You claim that this is not an ad?

However, he started to change his behaviour over the last year. This was not a conscious or even moral decision, but rather a consequence of two things:

Dave bought himself a DStv Explora, which offers a large number of Catch Up shows.
DStv’s Express from the US, where popular TV shows are aired within 24 hours of their US premier.

This reads exactly like an ad. :erm:
