MultiChoice explains why DStv Now shows unskippable adverts

DStv Now users may have noticed that they are sometimes shown unskippable adverts before they can view content on the platform.

Unskippable adverts are often frowned upon by media viewers, as they can be invasive and frustrating.

 

[NeonNinja]

Never seen these unskippable ads.

 

[Beyond.Celsus]

I thought ads was the content

I think they mean the ones like on YouTube.

It is in their catch-up facility that you will see this 'feature'.

One of the many reasons I cancelled.

Meh. I only watch live sport.

 

[Beyond.Celsus]

In all seriousness though, for pay for television the ads are ridiculous.
Last time I watched dstv was Monday (maybe Tuesday? Who knows) and I was watching forged in fire only for them to show 2 ads about forged in fire..... the show I am busy trying to watch.

Translation, we are greedy and want more money, because we can't be bothered to offer better packages and prices to get more subscribers and regain those that left.

soon it's going to be like youtube where you watch a show, then you have a 30 second ad at the 6, 12 and 18 minute mark. later on we can upgrade to dstv premiumer, which will be R150 more for the luxury of not seeing ads.

Did anybody expect any other answer than "Koos and Bob wants more money" ?

DSTV Now - the streaming app.

Sigh, Naspers isn't involved any longer, they separated in February of 2019.

DSTV Now - the streaming app.

Let me fix that for you:
"DSTV Now - the Ad streaming app".

Since when can we skip ads on DSTV?

For a long time, you press FFWD 3 or 4 times when the program starts and it skips straight to the start of the show (on catchup)
