Well they do have their own religion

Ja, this may be a crazy idea and too radical for some but... considered slashing prices to be competitive with Netflix?

Are MBB journalists and West Oracle Media part of those reliable sources you talked about?

Not too much offence but I reckon you think you're cleverer than what you actually are hey

Sorta like writing checks/cheques you mentally can't cash.

My 2c.

Nah, I'm an old toppie but my thinking is pay per view for DSTV. I even have a way it can be done.

They were expecting people who can use punctuation.

Their problem is that while everyone was moving in on their territory offering affordable all in one solutions they were busy offering theirs as the only solution.

DStv in trouble

South Africans are dumping DStv as access to affordable uncapped broadband improves and online streaming services gain popularity.

MultiChoice’s annual report for the year ended 31 March 2024 revealed that active DStv subscribers in South Africa declined from 8.0 million to 7.6 million over the last year.

400 000 loss per year is serious trouble? Let's talk again in about 20 years then

You know it will accelerate.
They will keep on pushing up prices as subscribers leave - in order to keep the shareholders/investors happy.
This is the start of the bleeding, the wound will get bigger and then their customer base will collapse.

They should have listened to their customers years ago, but they chose to listen to shareholders instead forgetting that you need to keep customers happy.

Why compare DStv Stream (or even the satellite service) to the likes of Netflix etc? Showmax plays in that field and is price competitive.

DStv Stream should be compared to the likes of YouTube TV and Hulu Live TV etc.

$64.99/mo for your first 4 months (Save $32),

Sounds like Eskom you're describing.

Still in the romance stage at the moment

Yep - same mentality - same downward trajectory.
