Ok. R99. But - is there a Roku, Chromecast and Android app?
If not - then it's not convenient to use.

So was "Orkey snork nie", etc.

They will have the existing seasons available of course.

Signing up for this is like signing up for DSTV! It will eventually get very expensive! Sorry, count me out!

 

[Drifter]

Can I stream this to WdTV Live using Servio?

 

[bwana]

Price is good but I'll wait to see what's actually available before arriving at any real conclusion. At the end of the day though not having a Roku channel is a deal breaker. Since it's supposedly going to be an international offering there's no reason for them not to make one available.

 

[Hush9300]

The price you guys pay for not having Android media players

Well, they will apparently have iOS apps and the Apple TV runs iOS.

I'm having a hard time seeing how this could be successful without support for Apple TV and Roku 3. They're at the top of the food chain in terms sales.

Maybe it is just me but this, given the"leaked" content, is aimed straight at the Afrikaans middle-class with their selection of "lekker stories van die ou dae".

 

[Bosvark@]

Looking good.

Now how about adding the Rugby World Cup channel - or create it...

 

[Bosvark@]

What about WD Live and Apple TV devices and apps?

 

[SirFooK'nG]

Blehh .... Kodi + 1Channel ... done and dusted

 

[SeRpEnT]

Nice entry level price to drive Vidi and a few other services out of business (and to hook in lots of base subscribers), then after a few years it will be up to R799 a month again!

Netso!

 

[crackersa]

Meh.... If it's not on roku or apple tv I don't care

not even supporting xbox's or playstations. and now I will have to region change my TV back to RSA to try this out.

 

[Sonic2k]

LOL
This thread is hillarious

Full of people who, in other threads say they got Netflix and will never look at MonoChoice again. Yet the price becomes sweet and now they all wanna go for it...

It doesn't matter if they give me DSTV premium HD for free, I don't want it, and won't accept it. Its the principle of the matter, as well as being tired of them deciding what I can and cannot watch.

 

[SeRpEnT]

Maybe it is just me but this, given the"leaked" content, is aimed straight at the Afrikaans middle-class with their selection of "lekker stories van die ou dae".

Uhm, until they start doing what they did on DSTV and create another option and include tons of soccer channels, and Mzansi channels and AfricaMagic etc etc etc.

Hey, that's a good point, I may just sign up

 

[EtienneK]

I'm still on Netflix mostly for the kids shows. Don't see any Disney in the Showmax lineup, so I'll still keep my Netflix subscription for a while.

Exciting times, though.

 

[MickZA]

They have Lassie. My life is complete.

That seals the deal!

... my one labrador can watch programs featuring dogs for hours (with the occasional "woof")
