DStv customers, check your bills: “Thousands” have been overcharged for September

Posted on Leave a comment

A number of DStv subscribers reported being overcharged on their monthly bills by up to R1 000 in September. And the reason why has infuriated customers.

If it’s not Steve Hofmeyr and his mates smashing up decoders, then DStv are pretty good at doing damage to themselves. The television network is facing an almighty backlash, and a number of subscribers reported being overcharged for their service in the month of September: Some users have claimed they were hit by a R1 000 surcharge.

DStv cuts affordable package with KykNET – Pensioners must now subscribe to premium package if they want to watch their favourite Afrikaans soaps

Posted on Leave a comment

MultiChoice has informed its DStv Select subscribers that it will discontinue this service on 29 October 2019 and move them to DStv Family.

“DStv is continuously reviewing its content line-up, packaging structure and pricing to ensure that customers have access to the best fresh content at great value,” MultiChoice said.

“As a result, we will be discontinuing some packages and re-directing customers to the main packages where the same programmes and channels can be found.”

The company stopped selling DStv Select packages in April 2013 and replaced it with a DStv Family.

Existing DStv Select subscribers were, however, allowed to remain on this package as long as they did not become inactive for more than 3 months.

Many DStv Select subscribers opted to stay on the package instead of moving to DStv Family for a simple reason – it included access to KykNET.

Public broadcaster SABC announced that they would not be airing any matches of the Rugby World Cup Series on their channels after it was unable to reach a sublicense agreement with SuperSport for the television broadcast of the 2019 Rugby World Cup.

According to spokesperson for the South African Broadcasting Corporation, Vuyo Mthembu, the cost of the rights fees would not have been commercially viable for the SABC.

“The public broadcaster endeavours to broadcast sports of national interest, as well as national teams of the respective sporting codes, in fulfilling its public mandate. However, the cost of these particular rights fees would not have been commercially viable and there would not have been a return on investment for the organisation,” she said.

However, Mthembu said they were in talks with Supersport for the rights to broadcast the rugby matches SABC radio stations.

The latest hiccup comes just days after the SABC
