Netflix vs DStv - Experts predict the winner

DStv has been struggling to keep its Premium subscribers in recent years due, in part, to the rise of Netflix in South Africa.

Netflix has performed well internationally thanks to its low price when compared to traditional pay-TV services like DStv Premium.

The fact is the 2 could still live together especially with a need for local content. the problem is that Multichoice is trying to fleece consumers to get rich.

I think the real problem will be Naspers ditching their cashcow

If there's an international appetite for South African content, you can be sure Netflix will seriously think about investing. They've had success with marketing locally-produced content to international audiences (Dark (Germany), Fauda (Israel), Le Casa de Papel (Spain), Suburra (Italy) etc.).

They already feature local talent. Watched a Loyiso Gola standup special there which was brilliant.

DSTV need to adapt or die. It's that simple. One package for everyone at a competitive price and sports as a differentiation maybe.

People who are able to use netflix will also be able to stream sports online for free.

Don't Netflix pay tax already in South Africa

Yes, VAT.

 

[ThinkCentre]

DSTV is loosing hundreds of thousands of subscribers every year due to high subscription fees and cheaper services from the likes of Netflix and others!

 

[C4Cat]

Dstv needs to stop showing advertising every 2 minutes. That's what made it unbearable for me. I can watch Netflix with no advertising whatsoever

 

[Vice]

LOL, winner predicted...

DSTV need to die. It's that simple.

FIFY

.....And not everyone prefers local content.....

I think DSTV, should create new packages:
1) Full streaming package (including sports) Around R350 to R400 a month
2) Sports only streaming package (R200 max a month)
3) Full Package (no Sport) R200 to R300 per month
4 Same packages using the existing decoders just add R150

What do you guys think of the above? Pricing could be wrong but you get the idea!

DSTV has the sport, so it will win.
