One of the big issues MultiChoice faces at the moment is that a DStv Premium package costs far more than Netflix. In fact, you can have a few streaming options in your household and still pay less than you'll part with each month for DStv Premium. This was manageable in a time when not every household had fibre internet, as the cost of sufficiently fast internet plus the streaming platforms would make DStv a lot more competitive in relative terms. But these days, with households focusing on fibre rather than satellites anyway (when did you last see a satellite dish on a modern home?), the saving when you choose streaming over DStv is significant. Only the most die-hard sports enthusiasts with space in their budgets can justify the full package.
