Sure is. DSTV Now looks like 720p at best even when set to 1080p. Showmax looks like proper 1080p. Also the quality drops during big games is unbearable while on Showmax quality is consistant
Showmax didn't show the Springboks v Argentina game this weekend , right ? I saw they featured English soccer though. So forget about a full on sports service for next to nothing. They will probably showcase the Springboks games with the upcoming Rugby World Cup , like they did with the cricket.
