For R99 a month you can't really expect a world of content, so I'm a happy customer for the time being.

 

[SauRoNZA]

Nope.

No Subtitles
No Surround Sound

Not renewing my subs.

 

[Jola]

No support for microSD cards on Android devices.

 

[Hemps]

My first month, so far they have tons of kids shows to keep little ones glued so I'll stick around.

To answer your Q...it is for my requirements.

No 1080p.

Using appleTV4 app - Afrihost or Vox, 10mb line.
Whatever show I start, the quality of the stream in the first 30seconds is unwatchable, comes right after a while but would prefer netflix approach and play when feed is decent.

Netflix also adjusts like that. Netflix just does it faster.

I think it depends on your tastes.

I am happy with it, I enjoy the content, yes a 1080p streaming option would be nice. Together with netflix its enough content for my viewing habits.

 

[SauRoNZA]

No 1080p.

That part I can actually live with.

It still does not work on any of the 4 devices under my TV (Xbox360, XBox One, PS4, Raspberry Pi).

Sticking to Netflix till it does.

Until it has a Roku channel it sucks
