Thank you Multichoice

[Bona Botse]

A few days ago I was about to rent a movie from Box Office (SU insisted) and thanks to the non-seamlessness of the procedure I had enough time to think about WTF I was doing and thought better of it. Thanks for stopping me from giving you more of my money, Multichoice. Good looking out.

It's a bit of a pain, I admit, but I wouldn't want someone to rent 10 movies when he's visiting me for a day or two without me knowing about it, so I think the SMS thing is at least a bit of security.

Movies from the Internet are so much more painless!

Maybe you should explain? Strange - I found the process very easy... Just had to send an SMS?

When you internet is down, its normally a good time to actually watch all the things you downloaded from the internet

I sent the SMS and received the reply " We are not able to process your rental request as there are insufficient funds in your BoxOffice Account. Please add funds to your BoxOffice Account (cash/cheque/EFT) or use the credit card option & SMS a new rental code."

Silly me figured they'd just bill the rental to my DSTV account. Mind you, I have 2 DSTV subscriptions so this gave me time to reconsider giving them more money.

Yep, I think there are two options - prepaid via a Box Office account (must upload funds from Credit Card), or post-paid, which is added to your monthly DSTV account (I use this option).

not even once

The only **** thing about box office is their selection of movies.

Using the SMS/credit card option takes all of 1 minute longer than just pressing a button.

Another option is when you set the monthly debit order for your subs, your box office accounts is also open meaning you can hire movies waya waya and they bill you along with your Monthly Sub...

Does that work on stolen decoders too?
