I've been having this issue for almost a week now...
Showmax has not been able to report back as to why it's happening so I've cancelled my sub.

Update: Deleting and reinstalling the app sorted me out.
Tried that already...on a new ISP now - will see how it goes.

Not amused...
Download whatever you want to watch....
Update on showmax...what a load of rubbish! I have the app the Samsung smart tv. Works cool for an hour then starts giving errors: 'an error occurred', 'could not retrieve your parental controls' (don't have any), lost connection' (rubbish cause the internet connection is up), 'could not retrieve information', your session has timed out' and so it's goes. Every 10mins I need to sign back in and then it tells me the password is wrong...keep trying with the same 'wrong' password and eventually it works. And to top it all off it uses way more data than the 'up to 300mb/hour' the 'low' setting promises too. Absolutel rubbish app and system. Support also proved to be useless so I didn't even bother further. Goodbye shownothing.

I signed up for a 7 day free trial but could not find anything that I remotely wanted to watch after 7 days they deducted R129 from my account without any authorization from me. Should rather be called Scammax!
fail?

Lol yes South African mentality. Blame the other person/company for you failing to read the t&c's.

Typical! Just because the scam was hidden in the small print don't make it legal their ad was misleading and they will not be getting my money. Do you want to make any side-bets?

No matter what follows this leading statement nul and voids it :
"Sign up for ShowMax Premium in 2 easy steps.
Enjoy your 7 day FREE trial. No commitments, cancel online anytime."
But these types of scams bargain that some will not read the small print and then believe that there's no way out or are too embarrassed to complain.
We in bloem may not be good readers but we know what is happening in our High Court.

So after you cancelled (before day 8), they still charged you?

It's R99...always been R99
Not necessarily. It depends on the payment method.
They accept payment via PayPal as well. Haven't tried that myself but I'm willing to bet that that's where he gets that R129 from.

Anyone else struggling to view Showmax tonight? When I open the app on my Samsung TV it show the initial screen with a few series but when I search for my series it doesn't find anything. Tried other searches and nothing pops up, even tried going into the different series categories but it shows no series...
