Why DStv's single-device streaming limit is terrible

[supersunbird]

But I'm sure somewhere somehow how DSTV did this is unconstitutional.
When they introduced the streaming, I got rid of all the decoders and ran everything through the Apple TV - one less remote. Then they all of a sudden, BOOOM only 1 stream now

Yes, it's a section 6 paragraph 66 of the constitution:
DSTV shall not change anything about how it's streaming works, and all your own voluntary actions are DSTVs fault

there's many iptv subs with full dstv channels available, just google and you will find, cost starts from 100 up 250 for a decent service

Upcoming headline:
"R150pm 'multi-streaming' access-fee launched as DStv subscribers reach record lows"

R150 per stream would be reasonable.

Just kill DSTV in total and you don't have this annoyance! Easy as that!

Agree wholeheartedly. I live without their bad service and sport monopoly on principle. Go DSTV please just go!

Why DStv's single-device streaming limit is terrible

DStv's one-device streaming is particularly bad compared to the simultaneous stream restrictions of rival video streaming services, a comparison by MyBroadband shows.

South African consumers are so gullible. Some people I know see it as a status symbol so quite happy with the bad service and lack of customer care dstv offers. For that reason these companies keep on growing because we as consumers keep on supporting them. Just consider the obscene profits they make and salaries their seniors earn together with the mobile phone companies.

We have 2 decoders and often have 2 different channels playing. When loadshedding strikes, our internet powered by a UPS stays up and we switch to streaming on mobile devices.
However now we are limited to only 1 stream on 1 smaller device. I think a fairer approach would at least be 1 stream per decoder.
