Outrage over fallen DStv rival

StarSat subscribers have taken to the broadcaster's social media pages to complain, frustrated with being unable to secure refunds and the company's silence on whether it will broadcast again in South Africa.

The DStv competitor was shut down by the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (Icasa) and law enforcement during a raid on its premises in October 2024.

Typical CCP arrogance. At least it backfired on them.

So didFrikkie help?

Icasa, in partnership with law enforcement officials, raided the broadcaster’s headquarters in Midrand, Gauteng, on 2 October 2024, disconnecting StarSat’s South African broadcasts and those to the rest of Africa.

So Icasa listen to Frikkie?

Really, a competitor to dstv?

Service offering was pretty weak all along.

Still got one of their original decoders sitting in my cupboard. Maybe will be worth something as a collector's item one day.. offers welcome
