The big risks that could see DStv lose subscribers

While MultiChoice’s DStv subscriber numbers have grown in recent years, the company is under no illusions as to the challenges it faces.

In Naspers’ financial results for the six months ended September 2018, the company said MutliChoice’s subscriber numbers went up overall for its operations in Africa – but the “premium base in SA” was under pressure.

Seems almost every DSTV 'article' is meant to tug at our heart strings.

Theyre under no illusions of the challenges they face, and then they go and fsck over a means of access for paying customers that they didn't have to pay development on...

Have to say I agree with you, especially after getting to see the incompetents working in that company a few years ago.

Piracy was not forgotten by MultiChoice, which stated that “unauthorised access to programming signals may adversely affect the group’s revenue and programming arrangements”.

People pirate DSTV?

 

[ArtyLoop]

People pirate DSTV?

They did years ago... but this company has always had a chip on its shoulder about it, going back to the days when it was easy to hack the analogue M-NET decoder

How about making that business package that includes all the sport channels for R399 available to everyone.
Im sure that will do wonders to the bottom line.

Their bean counters don't see it that way... raping subscribers at R899 odd is better..
