Pay per Channel

[RoxyVR]

Why can we not have the PAYGO options on ALL channels? I have the premium package & there are so many I dont watch/use that is really a waste of money. The other packages then again, do not have all the channel I do watch. Is there this option in some package or not?

 

[satanboy]

Not this again.

Because DSTV holds the reins and that's how they make their money - I wish we could pick channels - waste so much cash on DSTV, if it wasn't for sport, I'd dump them

Many threads on this.

Yes. Yes, you can have it.

Wait, what's that. DSTV have an effective monopoly and they don't give a f##k about you?

Then no. No, you can't.

Why not?

They could do it but it would be too expensive and not many subscribers would be able to afford their ideal selection of channels.
So the solution is to offer as many channels to as many subscribers with the more popular channels subsidising the cost of the less popular channels.

No.

No.

+1

Inter alia because we'll eventually end up with pay-per-website, pay-per-radio-station, etc.

Whatever gave you the idea that you have the right to choose?
