Very bad customer service

I just joined tonight and the website will not let me log in. They gave some lame excuse about migrating servers. They told me I it would take DAYS. To have this kind of service on day one...

New Showmax

The new Showmax is terrible. Must log in every time I go in, All my downloads are gone. They are following in DSTV's footsteps it looks like. Sorry Showmax, can promise you you will lose all your clients this way.

The new showmax is a downgrade

The new showmax is very slow, freezes sometimes, the deleted my history and there are shows they removed like Lingashoni season 2. I prefer the old showmax it was perfectly fine, it needed no changes.this new one is a downgrade.
