BritBox South Africa customers are "rabid" streamers

Sakaan recently spoke with MyBroadband about the service's growth and plans in South Africa.

Got my Mom a years' subscription - she seems to be hooked, but coming from DSTv with Death in Paradise, Father Brown,etc she just picked off where she left off - nice.

Been enjoying a lot of UK TV content lately, sort of given me something I enjoy watching.

Less game playing tho, only so many hours in a day.

Slightly OT: Does anyone find Greg Davies even remotely funny?

Yeah because it's almost like DSTv dropping all the wit ou shows for black shows makes a demand for wit ou shows.

He's ok. I liked him when he was on 8/10 Cats Does Countdown and that's it.

^ Yep, your Mom'll also enjoy watching without the DSTV plethora of intrusive ads/banners etc.

Also cancelled DSTV this year for other subs. Great that Britbox full year sub was just R50 more than one month DSTV premium.

"Rabidly" sharing accounts?

Well I can see why - nearly every other streaming service is crammed full of US stuff - usually where the rebel goes against his company/military/CIA to save the day etc. Britbox is just a refreshing change, and with some subtly clever comedy. I agree with the other commenter though that Greg Davies is a bit painful (not often I've actually stopped watching a stand up comedy show). But I did reasonably enjoy his performance in Gavin & Stacey.
