Streaming options

[awesme]

Hi all.

 

want to try and configure so long a working streaming option so that I can watch TdF.

 

I use a AppleTV as my primary connection to my TV.

 

Also have iPad's where I can install a app, and I guess a VPN tool.

 

Whats everyone doing.

Do a search in here https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/146482-goodbye-dstv/?hl=goodbye most of the sites and apps will have been discussed.

 

As for using Apple, will not allow illegal 3rd paty apps to stream, so you may have to consider other options

Also as a user of Apple products only, you can stream 3rd party apps if you have an Apple TV 3rd generation or newer.  Or at worst, run on iPad and Airplay to your TV.

What is the best platform to subscribe to for watching cycling races?

I already have VPN sorted

Gimme a sports only package and I'll happily hand over a reasonable amount of money.

Yep. I heard the latest DSTV advert over the radio. Something along the lines of:

"You get Movies... Series... Sport.... Documentaries... Kids programming... news.... AAAA.... BBBB.... CCCC.... DDDD"

But I don't want all that. They want to force you to buy all that content if all you want is Sport...? That isn't going to fly, especially if you are going to bill close to double what my uncapped Fibre Line is costing me.

Dedicated Sport Streaming services and VPN is the answer. And for Springbok Rugby, we'll go braai at the in-laws...

DSTV are living in the dark ages.

Pee Subscribers off = Subscribers leave = less revenue

This horse is so long gone, but here we are still flogging it.

DSTV have answered this question so many times over the years. A feasible pricing option for sports only packages would only result in about a 10% discount from the full package. It doesn't even make sense to offer it. DSTV premium is (virtually) a sport only package with a whole bunch of other (mostly unwanted) things for free.

I love my Dad's premium DSTV subscription, I get to use the DSTV Now app for free.  I never use it, except for Rugby...

well, it looks like they'll end up losing 90% of their subscribers.
