New DStv streaming package deal

[Lupus]

If you mean the wanted smaller sports packages - nah, that will take ages still, they're all stubborn about that :- (

Well they could do what the rest of the world did, different providers have different sports all costing money.

Cause I want cheaper DSTV :-( why must I pay for the sport. I just want to turn on my TV and watch

Okay

 

[Lupus]

Okay

Plus if it happens, maybe then you'd all shut up and just watch it... I doubt it but it would be a dream

That would be created for someone who only want to watch one or two sports.

Sure... But which sport would that be? Just the big 5?

Why can't you see that would work - how many want all the sports?
Not the same as like with series, where you must have 3 or 4 providers to get what you need.

Ag shame, poor you

You do know that they don't really have much pull with international sporting bodies right?

Pull has bugger all to do with it - either you say yes, or you say fekk off.

Either, your market, will support the price, or it will not. Yes/No

Aaaah my sweet summer child... In the UK if you want to watch football you have to subscribe to 3 different providers just to be able to watch the games, plus it's not all of them. There isn't a streaming service just for soccer.

But then you'd cry and moan that DSTV doesn't have X and Y sport? So where does it end?

We're talking about SA, much simpler here.

If you can only make money of off the big 5, as you put it. Then you would be a fukken idiot to go out and grab the rest.

You take what you can get - and like it, or you make alternate arrangements. No need to make it more difficult than it is.

 

[itisdone]

Just cancel ...

Just to avoid the hassle of opening new contract credit checks etc...I upgrade and downgrade when required.

I think it's just greed.

Sure but the sports that is broadcast here is a lot of international sport.

But what if the sport you watch isn't part of the big 5? Oh right you don't care, it's all about screwing over DSTV

 

[Lupus]

From the sporting bodies yes

 

[Brian_G]

Well if we want to get into the breakdown of it - there's not a lot of football interest here, more a local soccer desire. And as for the complex US, we're not much into their unique sports...

 

[Brian_G]

From the sporting bodies yes

Them and the platforms.
