In case your starvation for native content material can’t be quenched, we direct your consideration to the newly overhauled SABC+ streaming service. The streaming service has a brand new web site, is sporting a recent new look, affords higher-quality streaming choices, and not requires an account to entry. We hope Showmax is taking notes.
This not-so-new streaming service has emerged from the ashes of the earlier SABC+ which went down for upkeep on 01 December 2023, by no means to return. We particularly imply the outdated website, sabcplus.com, accessed by way of an online browser. It’s gone in order that sabc-plus.com can dwell on as an alternative. A redirect would’ve been good.
Should you’re coming from Android or Apple gadgets, you’ll need to try the SABC+ app on Apple’s App Retailer and Google’s Play Retailer.

Other than the brand new design and format, the following notable change is you don’t want a registered account to make use of the service. However which may change with the broadcaster saying “this season” in an announcement post.
One other new factor that can in all probability disappear subsequent month is the Festive pop-up channel. We are able to’t see that getting many eyes come February. Everybody’s favorite free-to-air SABC channels return, together with SABC 1, 2, 3, Information, and Sport. When shifting footage get boring customers have 19 radio stations to hop between.
Different upgrades embrace the choice to manually choose your streaming high quality and a picture-in-picture mode. Streaming choices vary from the data-friendly 240p as much as 1080p – greater than Showmax can handle. The image-in-picture mode does what you’d assume and pops the video out right into a draggable and resizable new window. This enables customers to stream the most recent sports activities information without spending a dime whereas they’re speculated to be writing articles or doing different work.
Sadly, customers must look ahead to the return of options from the outdated service, just like the catch-up function and screencasting. Hopefully, the broadcaster will add them again earlier than too lengthy.
