DSTV vs Streaming to watch cycling

[The Ouzo]

I am disapoint.

Yesterday DSTV showed the stage on some Portuguese sports channel, this meant I was able to catch a few minutes here and there during the day, and more importantly watch the last 10km, today it appears to only air on Variety 2, which our package at work does not cover.

All streaming site are blocked, so cant watch on PC. Will have to catch updates on the app.

Today hasn't been good, so far... getting a repeated error speaking to the content security key not being renewed, on the Sporza site. Refreshing the page solves the issue, and then restarting the stream - more inconvenient than a genuine problem.

Seems it is my internet connection; or somewhere on the ISP’s connection to me.

Yoh I'm having to work hard not to let this idiot commentator on DStv spoil my experience. Banal repetition of stats on the screen delivered in a nasal whine. 

His companion is better but Jeepers this oke is annoying

Never been a fan of his commentary.  Very unenthusiastic! Rob Hatch is the best!! Eurosport!

Whether it's good or bad news remains to be seen. 🫣

Better pricing than dstv which probably isn’t hard to achieve. But higher volume of traffic should also make pricing more in line with international norms which dstv definitely isn’t

Here's my letter to Marriot investing.

To your marketing department,

 

Your advertising has interrupted my viewing of the tour de France for 3 weeks now and has guaranteed that any intention I might have had of using your services, has been extinguished forever.

 

As a footnote, your advertisement is quite frequently paired with an even more annoying one for Hollywood bets and as a result, you invitation to exploit record high interest rates, is now irrevocably linked with the mindless hope of the inveterate gambler.

 

Congratulations.

 

Hollywood bets is getting one too in which I'm quoting Orwell 

 

So long as they (the Proles) continued to work and breed, their other activities were without importance. Left to themselves, like cattle turned loose upon the plains of Argentina, they had reverted to a style of life that appeared to be natural to them, a sort of ancestral pattern...Heavy physical work, the care of home and children, petty quarrels with neighbors, films, football, beer and above all, gambling filled up the horizon of their minds. To keep them in control was not difficult."

George Orwell, 1984

 

Also Cecil nurse is on my list and Ryder as well ... You'd think cyclists would know better.

Noted and agreed in principle, but if no one pays to advertise, to support the sport, then SS won't bring it to my TV.

The poor timing is down to SS not actually paying attention. I'll take Marriot and Cecil N. Hollywood Bets not so much, but hey I'm no Shark.
