TV channels really kills it with too many Adverts!

WOW! This is super annoying! I cannot believe how many adverts are on DSTV every few minutes. Sometimes every 5 - 7 minutes an ad break comes up with the same f&*^% adverts over and over again!<br> <br> You have literally just started following the story line when the program is interrupted for ad breaks lasting longer than the program content you just watched!!! <br> It's ridiculous!!! It's not what I want to see, when paying ridiculous amounts for DSTV subs.<br> <br> It is too much and in your face and you cannot help but to think about switching off DSTV completely and reverting to reading or watching something on the internet!<br> For crying out loud, I hear them say already: \yes but we have to run ads to pay for programs and content\". I GET IT! I &%^* I get it! <br> <br> But THIS MUCH??? That's BS! Seriously? <br> Note to self: Switch off DSTV!<br> "

Hello liezlnel444,

We apologise for the delayed response and the inconvenience caused.

Your comments regarding our service are very important to us.

Having adverts is a way for the channel to receive income, to be used to purchase or commission more content. Another reason, generally channels schedule in half hour or hour slots so adverts and promos are used to round off slots. For example, a 30 min comedy usually only consists of 22 min of content, so that 8 minutes need to be filled.

We value our customers and ask you to please feel free to continue providing feedback about our services. Thank you for your invaluable support.

Should you require any further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us.
