How ShowMax decided on R99

Getting a bit annoyed at these Showmax punts on myBB but in all honesty its a damn good alternative to Netflix and other platforms.

Really enjoyed The Shield when torrent options are limited.
 
Does Showmax support 1080 and Chromecast? Still waiting for those features.
 
Been a subscriber for 6 months. It's been fairly good content wise; new features & even support (over Twitter).

Lastly R99 does not break the bank.

Rather good all round 1st time attempt for my needs.

So what is your data usage like?
I set mine on low on Smart TV and still uses 1,800MB per movie and like 800MB for a 40MIN documentary. What will 720p use !?
At that rate my 100GB will be done in 1 week. Netfilx is much friendlier on data. So I cancelled ShowMax after 10 days.
 
I don't know lol.

I mostly just abuse the bandwidth at work & dl what I want.

Or dl what I want at home during Night Surfer & watch at a better time.

An eg of dl sizes

Every 2-3 days there are newer movies & series added.
 
Yea I saw the DL sizes on my phone and thought I'll give it a go, much to my dismay.
Don't know if the data limiter works for others. On chromecast they don't support it. So another reason to not use it.
 
Hard to believe ShowMax still doesn't support 1080p. Wtf.

Not sure why you tried to stream your entertainment on a 100GB cap. There's so little value in low quality streams. Get a larger account from Afrihost - their prices are great.

Only 4MB ADSL available here (NO WAY I'm using that pathetic copper again), fiber lines are hanging there, still needs to be spliced.
Will see when they light them up what options are available, then.
 
People, I tried out Netflix and Showmax. Netflix is better when it comes to HD and streaming and efficiency (data usage). Showmax is not bad eighter BUT none come even close to kodi :) Yes, you must know what you are doing and have the 'right tools' and links/contacts/knowhow. If you do, you'll enjoy TV absolutely free (including rugby). If you don't, go with any paid subscriber. And if you reeeealy don't know anything then stick to DSTV :D

The hope-this-link-work never know what quality to expect Kodi? Sounds like a joy.
 
lies all lies.

99 sounds better than 100(when looking for less)

they wanted to come in cheaper than Netflix+vpn
 
Jislaaik, a week and half ago, I decided that I'm going to try Showmax again. Bought a voucher at PnP. Got home, voucher doesn't work. Chat with Showmax, the guy tells me to go back to PnP and activate the card. PnP told me, that they don't do that.
OK, to shorten the story, I was sent back and forth for three days. Then it was weekend and PnP said that OpenGate, the people who makes the cards is closed and they'll call them (Past) Monday. Tuesday Showmax ask me to email the slip and voucher details, they'll investigate. Week and a half later, still f@kol.

PnP don't want to give me another card, because the multi-million Rand corporation is going to be short R99 in the till.
Showmax shifts the blame. Opengate just replied that it's active on their system.

Really ****ed up experience.....vaseline anyone
