InB4 I want to watch all the sport from the world on DSTV but only want to pay R50

Showmax is included with some DSTv packages.

I assume that's why they differentiate between total online and specific showmax-paying customers.

The overall online user base increased by 12% YoY, with the growth rate for paying Showmax subscribers at a strong 26%

Yes, all the ones that used friends passwords before the 1 stream limit kicked in. They will be here soon

Yep. Not all the sport in the world.

 

[elf_lord_ZC5]

Yep. Not all the sport in the world.

Yep, and I am not going to be held hostage by DSTV for those, nor am I going to pay 2x subscriptions to get them either.

If Showmax had Football and Cricket, I would subscribe.

@elf_lord_ZC5 how much are you willing to pay for all of that?

The current price for signing up for Showmax Pro

Showmax is actually pretty good. Just no 4k or 5.1 audio.

From my point of view, the can keep the Football and bin the rest.

I think the missing parts will come in due time. Hopefully soon.
