DSTV Just Now

DSTV Now has apparently made changes to their streaming service and certain TVs - namely Hi Sense require firmware upgrades which Hi Sense cannot provide.

Making the decision to leave DSTV Altogether easier by the day......

Reviewer Update
Hi there,
It seems we have a case of he said, she said. Hisense are saying it is DSTV changing the rules and you're saying the same.
Sadly, it will be DSTV losing out because the account will be lost and looking at your financial results, I don't think Multichoice wants this right now?
The TV is 3 years old - I don't know how many people replace tvs every 3 years - especially when the TV has a 5 yr warranty?
I think this is just a ploy to try and get subscribers to pay for the full package and I'm afraid this won't be happening.....Good bye DSTV (long overdue)
