[RELEASE] DStv Now KODI Add-on

JeremySly said:
Matt and I have had over 20x different people bring up the same issue without even bothering to search first.
Its really annoying!

Neither of us even use the add-on.

Seems most of our annoyance come from this single add-on.
It is very tempting to drop support for it because

1) its hard to test due to geolocked to S.A which means slow / non-working vpns
2) its users are impatient
3) limited donations from the above users

I really do appreciate your hard work and effort to get this working again.
Please don't drop support for this add-on.
I'm sure everyone will do the right thing and support you too.

I actually think very few people here ever browsed that git repo and so probably didnt even know about the donation links.

I've been using Kodi it for quite a while now and never knew about the donations link. How can one donate? Would like to donate every month as this app helps a lot.
