DStv alternatives ??
One of the high points of DStv was the extra motor sport over the December holidays, at least in past years.
The last holiday I was at home and often channel hopped.
one review of the Superbike season
one review of the MotoGP season
Did not see either of these repeated.
one episode of the world championship enduro bike racing - nice but the way it was presented was boring after the first 15 minutes. this was repeated a couple of times.
Where was the Race of champions ?? Past years had multiple episodes of this.
Where was the insane big foot stunt racing ?? Again, previous years had multiple episodes and multiple re-runs.
where was the:
WRC
British touring cars
German/World touring cars
?
?
Kyk ek is nou plein gatvol vir DStv !!
All this said, WHAT are the alternatives to DStv ??
Tried Toptv .... uhmmm, nee dankie
Anybody doing any "live streaming" ?? How does this work? What type of internet connection do you need, and costs ??
ek soek nou erg na n alternatief ....

Re: DStv alternatives ??
DSTV = Alzheimer’s TV!!!!! They keep on shifting the same programs to other channels; their program adds is the same year in and year out. It’s not worth paying R700 to watch cricket and rugby, I’ve downgraded a long time ago to the R175 pm package only because of picture quality. :evil: :evil:

Netflix.com It is movies on demand watched over your internet connection. I have a 1md adsl and it works fine. Not the latest movies but not too far behind. Lots of stuff for kiddies as well.

Ek het dit nou gou gaan opsoek, maar die boodskap wat ek kry is..
Sorry, Netflix is not available in your country yet.
Enter your email & we'll let you know when Netflix is available

Yes you have to install the mediahint extension first. I have 1mb adsl line with 20gb cap and it is enough for us.
