MULTICHOICE RIP-OFF

I am a subscriber to the multichoice compact bouquet where i part with USD45.00 a month. To my dismay, i find myself unable to watch my beloved FC Barcelona open their La Liga campaign tonight, reason: the game is on Ssp5 which is blocked on this bouquet.
My only interest in multichoice are the sports channels,bbc,cnn and the documentaries. I have zero interest in their 3rd rate movies. I therefore find myself very restricted even after paying that usurious amount, given that the following are blocked:
Sports:Ssp1,2,4,5 & 6
News:Sky news
Documentaries:BBC Knowledge,History
Besides, my viewing hours are very limited, save for weekends. And now that the ESPN channels were removed, they haven't provided alternatives.
How i wish they had pay per view.

Pole, they want you to go for premium HD PVR for the ultimate ripoff In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later - H Geneen

It is called absolute Monopoly.They have No competitor, Wait until the get one. Their Customer service sucks. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God..

If a Competitor, however big or small can be able to come here and get those rights then Multichoice Collapses PAP.

How else do you think Man U can afford to pay RVP 200,000 Pound per week?Gate collections? A big percentage comes from the TV money you and I pay. It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt...

Its either the product is just about to expire, a new technology is about to be released or just dead stock that needs to be offloaded. In my other life when i used to do stock take, we once visited a pharmacy where 50% of the items had expired and guess what-- they had the lowest prices in town!

Hapa naona mkingoja muda mrefu sana for a competitor. Just ask yourself who owns local multichoice operations, therein lies your answer as to why there's unlikely to be a viable competitor in the near future. If your viewing hours are limited, I humbly submit you have no reason subscribing to pay tv. Not when the same alternatives exist on FTA Satellite tv anyway. And if the EPL is your thing, why not get the JSC sports card that goes for about US $180 p.a. The beauty of this is that the decoder offers you a chance to view other fta channels besides the sports. And by the way, ESPN bado ziko hapo kwa JSC. Check this out.Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.

ESPN has pulled out of Africa, Middle East & Asia plus some former Eastern European counries. Business decision. In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later - H Geneen
