DStv content selection is xtremely poor and they have reruns and show movies we seen 30 years ago and expect high premiums to be paid by us.

Who is in charge of content that aires on DStv?.. the qaulity of content is absolutely embarrassing...the amount of reruns is rediculous ...and customers are paying hefty premiums for the service...please advise as to who one can speak to and maybe I can shed some light on how to procure content.. I worked in broadcasting for 20 years and with the amount of content out there I am sure DStv can do better... Watching movies that are 30 years old isn't what DStv customers sign up for..we pay hard earned money for low quality of content...

In the last 3 weeks blade has aired 11 times and that is excluding thee sequels...same with fast and furious..Harry Potter...lord of the rings... Matrix...home alone and Dennis the menace including police academy are movies one watched 30 years ago if not longer...the Batman seqauls been showing for days now..as well as Jurassic park just to mention a few..

All cooking shows aswell...all reruns...

Big bang theory/ two and a half men/ and many other sitcoms all reruns..basically customers are paying for shows on channels they seen many times already.. premiums increases yearly but the standard of content drops yearly...

Only thing worthwhile is sport ..football or cricket...anything live is worthwhile..

But when it comes to other channels and there content I am blown away as to how many times a movie shows a day...one channel aires at 12pm...then a second channel aires at 4pm...then a different channel will air late in evening...there ahas been many instances where the same movies are airing on two different channels at the same time...out of hundreds of thousands of movies or TV shows surely there can't be such limited content available to paying customers??? With a company that makes millions over Africa surely thee content can be improved..another thing is these pop up channels...it's a waste of time..we as customers have yearly increases yet the quality drops..some channels are removed or cancelled but our premiums stay the same or it increases.. when you pay for 300 channels and 5 channels are removed you should only be paying for 295 channels but instead your premium increases.. out of all of DStv channels a max of 20 channels is at most watchable...

I would appreciate that and I'm sure there are thousands of subscribers who would agree with me.. DStv could loose many subscribers which already is looking like most people are going the route of Netflix and those platforms.. to keep clients you need to have a broader spectrum as we are paying customers.. one could say we paying to see 5-6 new programs a month and that's movies included..and since before pandemic the qaulity of the Sunday night premier movie has also gone to below par.. and every year Xmas times they show the same Xmas movies over.. only movie removed was Ernest saves Xmas..
