"We need to start unsubscribing with Multichoice/DSTV. Only a few channels have content & that includes soccer! Yet the prices keep on going up! There’s no reason why we pay so much with Multichoice yet they are canceling channels but prices keep going up."

@fighter_shasha said:

"I left @DStv after they cancelled @RT_com. I'm happy at @ITV. #DstvMustFall @MultiChoice must be banned!"

"I watched Anaconda when I was a kid now my child also watched Anaconda on DStv."

"Multichoice thought South Africans would remain gullible forever, times change we are the "woke generation" . @NetflixSA should try to obtain rights to all SABC channels, Premier league and have their own soccer channels then its over for DSTV its that simple."

"DSTV and Multichoice are very arrogant. You can't increase prices, but repeat content from 1990. Football is the only reason many people are still subscribed. They should lose even more subscribers."
