Multichoice - A greedy business
This is so disappointing. I don't know what to say anymore. I was happy with what I was watching and even the repeats, because I do not watch that much TV in any case, but to tell you the truth, recently the repeats are getting annoying all over again. They are too much for the money I have to pay every month just to watch something decent, when I finally make time to watch. And then there is Box office. You have to pay R27 to watch a new movie when it comes to your screen anyway a couple of months later, and until then you have to pay R699 every month to watch repeats, old movies and garbage like Sharknado, two headed shark, giant spiders, ice spiders, with a cast who do not know the first meaning of the word acting. Really, my intelligence has a much higher score than you take me for. I kept my mouth shut for a long time now. So, Multichoice, I guess you win . . . AGAIN! I am dumbstruck because not what I or anybody have to say or complain about the upcoming increases will move you. I'm so tired of this, I am even too tired to check grammar or spelling on this complaint. Well done, Multichoice. You just know how to ruin a 10 year friendship.
Repeats are part of pay TV services around the world. They are there so customers can catch up on the programmes they might have missed, particularly customers without a PVR.
The other reason, which is even more important, is that film and TV studios produce a limited amount of shows. For example, Hollywood pushes out only 600 new films (or about 1 200 hours' worth of viewing) a year; while a single movie channel is made up of 8 760 hours over the same time frame. The difference is then made up of repeats to fill up the channel.
Having said that we do release a lot of brand-new content on DStv every month. It's really just a case of discovering what's available. There are a number of resources you can use to find shows on channels you perhaps don't currently watch and which you just might find interesting. On our website (dstv.com) there are highlights, a series calendar and a movie calendar. On your decoder there's channel 100 and Dish on TV. On our social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook we publish daily highlights. You can also download the DStv Now app on your phone.
Warm Regards
