MultiChoice and 4Racing introduce Ch240

Zero-rating is a technique where internet service providers (ISPs) allow consumers to utilize a specific website without charging their internet data plan. Implementing zero-rating requires an accurate website identification method that is also efficient and reliable to be applied on live network traffic. In this paper, we examine existing website identification methods with the objective of applying zero-rating.

i would suggest Gold Circle try this to all their customers from 1 March 2022.

@Tigershark,

let’s see whether GC, 4Racing and others in the industry can provide clarity as to WHY THE LOCAL RACING PRODUCT (OF GC AND 4R) CANNOT BE POOLED FOR “LOCAL” BROADCASTING on Channel 240.

SANTA is very quiet considering their very public attack of the NHA to have their self-interests advanced. Or are the SANTA cheerleaders divided between GC and 4Q camps and neither want to upset or expose their respective financial sponsors who are polarised on this battlefield?

Where is the independent racing media with balanced coverage of the facts from both sides? Or are both sides playing Russian roulette and poker simultaneously?

I understand that GC has sold their audio visual content and data internationally and will earn these revenues directly, this time around, as opposed to via Phumelela. One cannot fault GC for taking this approach nor should they be punish for a sound business decision.

What has Cape Racing (CR) done with regard to selling their “audio visual content and data” internationally? And how is it that CR was able to strike a deal to have their local racing product pooled with 4R?

CG and 4R appear to have undertaken and pursued an independent and competing strategy to sell their respective audio visual content and data to their international counterparts for maximum value. Now that both of you have (or will) bank the cash for one of the most valuable revenue generating products in your respective businesses, explain to us, keyboard cowboys, why you are unable to pool GC, CR and 4Q’s local racing product for broadcast on Channel 240? What on earth is GC demanding from 4Q and vice versa that makes this a deal breaker?

If something this simplistic cannot be solved before 28 February 2022, it exposes the limitations of both sides to get a simple task done. Every other strategic initiative (of GC and 4Q) to revive and save the industry becomes a far fetched pipedream.

I thank my lucky stars that I don’t have to work with half-wits.

There is more ire to come next week when 249 goes off air ( please make sure you guys are set )

My personal opinion is that Gallop and GC offering their product FREE TO AIR to both punters and bookmakers has been a big stumbling block in discussions and a huge pill to swallow for some. (just guessing)

Are you sure it is not the outstanding amount owed by Phumelela Bob that is the stumbling block?

How does 4Racing think this cake is going to slice up?

WC racing could stop tomorrow and it would not be missed, they really have 2 race days that stand out and very little local punters, they have been subsidized for years. GC seems to have weathered the storm longer than all jurisdictions and i am sure will continue to do so even when all come to an end.

Either way, it is the same nonsense being done by the same actors....

Once 249 closes, how do we watch KZN racing ?

I just received a phone call from Interbet. The gentleman offered me a decoder, free of charge with no installation costs. This decoder will enable me to view racing from Greyville. I asked him to please mail me as I do not accept anything over the phone.

Hi xxx,

From the 1st of March 2022, 4Racing will not be showing KZN racing. TAB Gold has its own decoder and Interbet would like to purchase and have one installed for you. There is no monthly subscription. If you would like me to put you on the list an installer will contact you to install your TAB Gold decoder so that you can continue to watch KZN racing.

Kind regards
xxx

I look forward to my call.

Thread, Topic has Multichoice in it.

Well Dstv has decided that you can watch only one stream going forward from late March 2022, ie you will not be able to stream from more than one device at a time. Well if you a sports fan, this is absolutely ridiculous as on a weekend I could be watching multiple sports at the same time. With Smart TV and Mi TV sticks each person in the house could choose whatever they want to watch. DSTV certainly knows how to drive their customers away. 4Racing and DSTV, Multichoice makes a good coupling

So Interbet is offering these decoders to their clients but no information about them is available from tabgold or goldcircle etc.

No details on what decoder exactly, pricing, where to buy etc.

Sounds about right.

I am waiting till Tuesday. Perhaps sanity will prevail………..





With regards to your query, you will have to purchase a DSD 300 decoder from Space TV or Takealot.



Space TV contact number: 031 3038701



Website: ( www.spacetv.co.za/contact/ ) or www.takealot.com .

VIP players will be most likely contacted to keep them playing

That most likely means I won't be contacted

I saw a Facebook post that gallop tv also available on the open view bouquet of channels?? Can anyone confirm
Ovhd decoder is cheaper and works with any existing dstv dish(I've been told)

Why can't GC just issue a proper, detailed communication, so that people don't have to be left guessing....
