busrep No f®¢€ING way I pay R904p/m and they taking away some of the best channels, why not the unnecessary movie channels or that African magic or that million news channels, no dstv if it wasn't for the sport I would've been off dstv moons ago

busrep Why wud they remove crime channel thoughmy favourite channel, then whats the point of subscribing

busrep Don't watch them

busrep Recently were watching repeats and old movies dating 2002. Wat da hell is going on here with dstv. While we pay exorbitant prices. This is a rip off. Catch up is useless now a non watcher.

busrep Give a man enough rope and he will hang him self..... great work multi NO choice!!!!

busrep They asking people to cancel their subscriptions .......

busrep Short answer - dump dstv and get Apple TV or android tv. Much better much much cheaper and you can subscribe to what you want to see!!

busrep Count me out. How many are still fuming?

busrep But we'll be left with those terrible soapies on etv in the evenings; that promote violence, sex, rape, drunkenness and corruption. If etv don't know that their vile soapies make crime fun then they need to visit someone who can teach them how people copy behavior.

busrep MultiChoice slogan should read, 'less for more.' I guess Multi'NO'Choice wont be extending those savings to their customer base?

busrep DSTV lara tlwaela le re ntsitse di beetroot le ja too much. Ke nnyoso le matlakala fela sele se dirang. Do you want us pay R999. When you do your stats who watches channel 141, 153,154, etc like telly track channel.

busrep Should have dumped MojaLoveTV, KykNet, TeleMundo, Vuzu and Africa Magic.

busrep As long as mojalove isnt interfered im good

busrep DStv Consumers are fast learning how much cheaper Netflix is and what excellent choices they offer and with NO repeats
