No football on Parabole Maurice!

1 February 2009 By Avinash Meetoo 107 Comments

20090201-no-football

Bloody hell!

 

I can’t watch Liverpool vs Chelsea right now because G-Sport 1, the channel on Parabole Maurice which was supposed to show this match, has stopped broadcasting because Gateway Broadcast Services, the company behind that channel, has been put in liquidation since yesterday presumably because of “the current financial and global crisis.”

Of course, Parabole Maurice  has forgotten to announce this to its paying customers.

I hope that they fiind a solution to this or else bye-bye…

Holy crap!

    bye-bye? If you choose canal sat, you won’t get a single FA/league cup match!! and you are complaining about missing ONE match.
    btw, liverpool just won 2-0… but are still where they ‘should’ be. :D

    Well, the problem is somewhat worse…

    GTV holds 80% of FA Premier League rights over Africa, including all top matches… with DSTV holding the other 20%…

    That’s why Supersport International had just two live games per week…

    Hopefully, DSTV will buy the rights from ex-GTV, and according to the head of Supersport International, they will make an announcement this coming week…

    Well, this is not an excuse for Parabole Maurice, since they could have negociated with CanalSat Maurice for the matches since they are the same company back in France since TPS and CanalSat merged…

    This weekend I managed the best I could with laggy matches on TV Ants, Sopcast, and Justin.Tv. … But just as you said, if Parabole Maurice cannot propose a solution by middle of the week, I’m off to CanalSat… or maybe to a 1 Mega ADSL to have better bandwidth on TV Ants or the others…

    Well, I hope for the sake of their receptionist that they can give me a proper explanation of the situation when I call them tomorrow… :P

    P.S. When the number of channels on Parabole Maurice increased, they increased their monthly fee… Now that GTV and Fun TV is gone… and with TPS Foot just being rubbish with old delayed matches… Why does the price not go down as well??? Akoz petrol cher??? LOL.

    I’ve called Parabole Maurice today and the lady there told me (verbatim):

    “La faillite de GTV n’affectera pas G-Sport 1. La raison pourquoi cette chaîne n’a pu émettre ce week-end n’est que technique (changement de satellite) et reprendra dès que possible. C’est ce que le Directeur de Parabole Maurice a dit”

    Let’s wait and see.

    Canal plus too did not broadcast liv vs chel yesterday, maybe because france was playing handball against denmark. its strange to have not duffused it because they have talked about this match a lot on onze d’europe. for ur info canal broadcast some fa cup/league cup. Not any!

  7. fluxy says

    2 February 2009 at 18:10

    omg that really made me sick specially when I barely watch Parabole except for football. Come Saturday, No Man U – Everton for me…grumble grumble, fortunately good old mbc is there (image is crappy but present). Later GSports 1 worked well….until the start of the Liverpool – Chelsea match…………no mbc this time!!!

    Are there really *technical issues* and are these only coincidences or have they NOT bought the necessary rights for the matches?

  8. ¥@$# says

    2 February 2009 at 19:48

    Afaik, Sport+ did broadcast the match live on CanalSat…

    When everything else fails, you can always try http://livefooty.doctor-serv.com/. A player needs to be installed first (at your own risk :-) I don’t think the player is available for the Mac platform though.

    Back to the game, as you know now, Liverpool had to wait until the last couple minutes to win the game even if Lampard was sent off way earlier in the game. I am a Liverpool fan, but I must say that Lampard did not deserve a red card. If anything, Alonso should have been the one receiving the red card. That’s the way I see it.

  10. s4ndeep says

    3 February 2009 at 14:43

    the issue wasnt technical… its due to the financial crysis. maybe the customer care should get themselve more reliable sources of info.. :)

    *this issue was announced on the radio in the morning.*

  11. avinash says

    3 February 2009 at 15:20

    What do you mean?

    Are we going to have the Liverpool match this week-end or not?

  12. ¥@$# says

    3 February 2009 at 19:03

    GTV’s collapse means that the rights revert to the Premier League, which said it was looking to negotiate a sale of the rights to another broadcaster in time for next weekend.

    4 February 2009 at 06:50

    I called there once more yesterday. I talked to a guy who confirmed that

    (i) G-Sport 1 is history (unlike what the girl said two days before…),
    (ii) Parabole Maurice is trying to negotiate an alternative channel (with whom?) and this will take at least two weeks… so don’t count on live football this week-end
    (iii) I’ll be getting my subscription for March for free because of the disruption

    So let’s wait and see (for now…)

    4 February 2009 at 13:57

    ya u r rigt canal sat didnt broadcast liv v chelski on the canal channels but it did on sport + which means that still it managed to give da match, unlike parabullshit

  15. Shane says

    License to broadcast the Premier League live to the African markets previously controlled by GTV has been acquired by SuperSport.

  16. ¥@$# says

    5 February 2009 at 00:41

    So here’s the news…

    Supersport bought the Premier League rights…

    http://www.supersportafrica.com/football/article.aspx?id=286840&headline=SuperSport%20brings%20England%20to%20Africa!

    The problem now is that the soccer will be broadcasted on Supersport 7 over africa…

    http://www.supersport.co.za/content.aspx?id=14482&des=content&view=full

    Another problem is, if Parabole decides to swap Supersport 3 for Supersport 7, we will no longer have the choice between two 3 O’clock matches on Saturdays – and other overlapping matches on Sundays – (as it were when we had both Supersport 3 & Gsport1)… Hope you’re getting the point :P

    What I mean is what Parabole Maurice should definitely do to still have some value in my eyes at least, is to swap Gsport 1 for Supersport 7 as fast as possible… So that we could have the same choice of premier league matches as before… :)

  17. ¥@$# says

    5 February 2009 at 00:42

    And I don’t care how much it costs them, because when Parabole Maurice add channels, they make us pay more… When channels disappear (Fun TV, GSport1), they seem to forget the price!

  18. ¥@$# says

    5 February 2009 at 00:45

    And yeah, since their receptionist don’t seem to have an adequate answer when asking her about the situation on the phone… I sent them a mail some time ago, and no f*cking response from them…

    Such a b*tchy customer care!

    Maybe they should have a look at this blog post… I’ve already found the solution for them… THE BLOODY FOOLS!

    Cheers,
    Yash

    P.S. Bear with me, it’s an exploited programmer’s stress! lol…

  19. fed up says

    5 February 2009 at 08:56

    hi;
    am also just like you all here…but i had my subscription in december and as it was well mentionned you can only terminate it on a annual basis…..so i can put an end in december 2009…but with these recent developments am forced to end my contract…….any one here in the same situation…willing ot cancel his contract before hand?????????/ if you have any idea please HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  20. jens says

    5 February 2009 at 11:54

    well , free football streaming is available on the internet !!!

  21. h2o says

    5 February 2009 at 14:00

    it’s funny because most people who go for satellite are football fans… and now no footy… lol… was planning to get a satellite subscription… non merci!

  22. avinash says

    5 February 2009 at 14:34

    Thanks Shane.

    SuperSport will now control exclusive rights in those countries previously supplied by GTV for the remainder of the 2008/2009 season and for the whole of next season. Live coverage will be restored from this weekend via the DSTV satellite provider.

    I guess we’ll have lots of matches on SuperSport 3 this week-end then :-)

  23. avinash says

    5 February 2009 at 14:36

    Thanks ¥@$# for the solution. I hope the Parabole Maurice guys read my blog from time to time :-)

  24. avinash says

    5 February 2009 at 14:40

    Ashvin: This is only temporary. Football is still the driving force behind satellite subscriptions in Mauritius. Parabole will have to find a solution… or else everyone will move to Canal Sat.

  25. Sailesh says

    5 February 2009 at 19:00

    Luckily i have both canalsat & parabole maurice and i have been able to watch the match on canalsat

    I called the customer service of parabole today and they told me that another company has bought GTV and they are currently negotiating to get the broadcast right’s again :)

  26. Sailesh says

    6 February 2009 at 17:39

    Parabole seems to have added a new channel called ” EVENTS ” to broadcast live matches :D

    This channel will take on matches from Supersports who just bagged the rights for the remaining matches of the year

  27. ¥@$# says

    7 February 2009 at 18:31

    WTF?!

    The channel Events is wonderful… The match programmed is not showing… and instead… recommends us to watch the résumé on Infosport!

    Parabole Maurice is really losing all its credits…

  28. avinash says

    8 February 2009 at 08:24

    I watched Portsmouth – Liverpool last night on SuperSport 3 (which really was broadcasting SuperSport 7.) What match was that?

  29. ¥@$# says

    8 February 2009 at 14:40

    Man City – Middlesborough – lunch time kick off

    and another 3 O’Clock kick off… I forgot the fixture :S

  30. Azhar says

    14 February 2009 at 10:49

    No FA CUP on parabole…….!!!!

  31. avinash says

    14 February 2009 at 19:27

    Not even on Supersport 3???

  32. Azhar says

    15 February 2009 at 11:20

    we are having supersport 3 of Nigeria thats why No fa cup football…supersport3 of south africa give all z matches LIVE..

  33. ¥@$# says

    15 February 2009 at 13:16

    Nigeria???

    Thought we were having Supersport – Rest of Africa… :s

  34. immortal says

    15 February 2009 at 20:32

    we should make a group n go n protest to main office of parabole to end our contracts with immediate effect…no annual basis shit….coz as we all said we r with parabole coz of foot and if no foot they dont respect their offered contract and we should do the same,,,,, we should not accept this coz we have no guarantee they wont do it again,…i hope they will broadcast the mau utd/derby fa cup match….if not i i will fight to end my contract immediately….

  35. Fed up says

    16 February 2009 at 17:57

    HI….WE REALLY NEED TO GET VALUE FOR MONEY…IF YOU R ABOUT TO FORM A GROUP TO FIGHT OUR RIGTHS PLEASE PUBLISH ON THIS BLOG….AM THE FIRST TO JOIN…….WILL WAIT FOR THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE ROUND NEXT WEEK TO TAKE A DECISION……I’LL END MY CONTRACT BEFORE THE 1 YR ….JUST GIVING PARABOLE SOME FEW DAYS MORE……….

  36. wonderboy says

    16 February 2009 at 18:08

    the fa cup matches are not broadcasted on canal sat also. why that? can anyone answer?

  37. wonderboy says

    16 February 2009 at 18:11

    is the man.utd vs fulham match live on parabole? i’ve seen in the newspaper it is NOT live on canal sat

  38. ¥@$# says

    16 February 2009 at 22:52

    First concerning FA Cup:
    – on Parabole: Supersport did not buy the FA Cup rights for Africa back from collapsed GTV… So no FA Cup on Supersport…
    – on CanalSat: No FA Cup since France 4 bought all the rights for France… and France 4 is not broadcasted on CanalSat or Parabole either.

    Second, concening Man Utd v/s Fulham:
    It’s being broadcasted live on Supersport 7 for Africa… So hopefully, parabole would switch Supersport 3 back to Supersport 7 when the time comes like it has been done last week. Well, at least I’m counting on that.

  39. immortal says

    18 February 2009 at 22:04

    man this is their last chance ..if not match today am ending my contract!!!!!!

  40. Sanjeev says

    20 February 2009 at 14:34

    am fed up…with parabole maurice.Very poor customer service and even not a single message that G-Sport 1 will not broadcast.

  41. parma says

    20 February 2009 at 18:45

    Hi guys.Am a parabole subscriber & its been horrible cos I still dont know what parabole maurice is doing about broadcasting Live Premier leage matches.By the way can anyone please tell me if the mid-week match between ManUtd & Fulham was being broadcasted live or not?Unfortunately I was working night shift that day & dont have any idea whether it’s been broadcasted live.Thanx mate!!!!

  42. Sanjeev says

    21 February 2009 at 12:27

    i think…even the staff of parabole maurice do not not what will happen next..

  43. avinash says

    21 February 2009 at 14:27

    That’s what I think too.

    No matter how you look at this issue, the fact is that in the rest of the world, TPS and Canal Sat have merged. Maybe it’s time for the owners of Parabole Maurice and CanalSat Maurice to realise that it’s time for them to stop acting like spoilt kids and finally merge!

  44. Fed UP says

    21 February 2009 at 14:54

    hi…..does any1 who which matches would be broadcasted tonite and tomorrow??????

  45. avinash says

    21 February 2009 at 17:32

    Personally, I don’t know anything :-)

  46. avinash says

    22 February 2009 at 08:57

    Were there any football matches on Parabole yesterday? I wasn’t at home…

    I hope I’ll manage to watch Liverpool – Manchester City today at 20:00 but I am not too confident.

  47. Fed UP says

    22 February 2009 at 09:02

    hi….we had Aresnal Sunderland….we just has a msg…..tonite we shall ne having fulham west brom…..useles…….the hate for parabole is gaining much of momentum……i really think parabole will be using most of its subscribers…but the main question….Quit PARABOLE for WAT???? Canal is also not value for money…..i really think that we r nt given of due respect as for the price we r paying……

  48. avinash says

    22 February 2009 at 11:46

    Sh*t! And they won’t answer the phone until Tuesday!

  49. ¥@$# says

    22 February 2009 at 12:55

    Liverpool – City is being broadcasted on CanalSat deferred by 30 mins… WTF?!

    Parabole mone arrete check so programmation mem, mo koner ine mari tard sa… Ene chance mo ena CanalSat aussi… Mais… as Fed UP said…. CanalSat is very far from value for money…

  50. wonderboy says

    22 February 2009 at 13:00

    on canal its not good either. we’re having the liverpool match en differer.

  51. Sailesh says

    22 February 2009 at 17:25

    Full supersport schedules

  53. avinash says

    23 February 2009 at 00:55

    I had to go and watch Liverpool drawing with Man City at my parents’ place (they are CanalSat subscribers) but the match was delayed by 1:30. I guess we’ll have to call Parabole on Tuesday to ask them to explain what’s going on.

  54. wonderboy says

    23 February 2009 at 13:46

    will the champions league matches be broadcasted on supersport??

  55. avinash says

    23 February 2009 at 15:59

    25 February 2009 at 20:36

  57. avinash says

    25 February 2009 at 23:07

    It’s not that bad :-)

    According to the SuperSport 3 website, Real Madrid vs Liverpool will be broadcasted as from 00:30 (UTC+5.)

  58. vik says

    27 February 2009 at 04:58

    Is it really quicker to write SMS talk than plain (old-fashioned) English? :-)

  60. fed up says

    27 February 2009 at 19:43

    hey parabole is just doing their best to minise their loss…….i think they will provide the minimum of english football matches possible….neither this will cost they much nor customers can end their contract before hand, just for the mere reason that we are being provided with FA football…they never said they will give all matches neither had a quota on the matches per week……but no matter wat their reasons will be, if am not given a satisfactory explanation or compensation, i’ll end up immediately

  61. mehdi says

    27 February 2009 at 23:08

    i am paying their useless subscription for nothing!!!thats true, when they add channels, you pay more, when they cut, they dont replace…
    I remember that was the case too when they cut sport+ 3 years back!

  64. Abhisheik says

    28 February 2009 at 19:03

    Parabole Maurice has secured the rights for all the Premier League matches now. We now have both Supersport 3 and Supersport 7.

  65. ¥@$# says

    28 February 2009 at 20:01

    So it’s only now that Parabole Maurice finally managed to negociate for Supersport 7 (channel 76)…. So it took them 3 weeks more to figure out a solution that was already posted in this thread!

    https://www.noulakaz.net/2009/02/01/no-football-on-parabole-maurice/#comment-174337

    The bloody fools!

  66. vik says

    28 February 2009 at 22:28

    i fik if u’vr been wid em for more than 12 months u r allowed 2 cancel ur contract koz after that period of time u didnt sign any sort of contract that gonna kip u wid em 4eva!! im sure u free 2 cancel it at anytime!! i 4ne em, n the guy told me if u r nat happy jus cancel it!! do we get all the matches on dstv?? all supersports??

  67. avinash says

    1 March 2009 at 15:57

    Yep. I’ve noticed that. I will monitor the situation over some days before I show too much enthusiasm :-)

  68. mehdi says

    1 March 2009 at 23:31

    yes we USED to get ALL GAMES on dstv, and all the supersports before gsports came to mauritius.since then, in mauritius, u have all the supersports, but not the saem programme as in SA. even after gsports disappeared, the programmes r still different.for eg, today, VILLA AGAINT STOKE was nowhere , not even on the local dstv..
    BTW, i checked, parabole added S7, but i think we got fooled, koz if you go on dstv.com or supersport.co.za, you’ll see that nowehere its mentioned that ON TUESDAY N WEDNESDAY, there’s any game on S7!!!…I dont even see the listings for this week’s facup..if any1 got any news abt it, please inform me!thanks…

    and finally, whats this thing ABT NEGOCIATING:(pfff…parabole is the sole company to sell dstv in the indian ocean, why did it have to ‘negociate’…pff
    they just needed to be put under pressure….

  69. mehdi says

    1 March 2009 at 23:34

    another point, we wont be having a CHOICE of matches as mentioned above, because according to dstv, S7 is used to support the overload of matches….its not really a dedicated channel on its own..so who cares about mauritius?:(pffffffffffffffffff

    please check n confirm too the schedules from dstv n supersport!!

  70. avinash says

    2 March 2009 at 06:35

    Aston Villa – Stoke was shown on SS7 but according to the programme guide there should have been an Italian match at that time. I wonder why there is such a discrepancy.

  71. d says

    2 March 2009 at 17:51

    Dear Soccer fans ,
    well first off all i have read this blog and can say that there are a lot of things that are not true in this blog , for eg a dstv decoder does not cost 4000 rs here in maurtius it costs
    rs 1590 .
    Secondly there are matches on ss7 that are played and you can find the
    programing on the super sports site = http://www.supersportafrica.com.
    Another thing even if parabole is the sole company to sell dstv , the content that is on dstv does not belong to parabole that is why we have to negociate .

    Another thing to negotiate a channel takes time and we cant just buy a channel and only know what it will play in a few months , we have to see what they will be giving for the next ten years .
    a whole load of things must be taken into account .Had parabole known that gsports were going to put the key under the door matt parabole would have taken steps to replace the channel asap and negotiation would have taken place way before gsprts stopped transmitting .

  72. avinash says

    2 March 2009 at 20:50

    I gather, d, that you work for Parabole Maurice.

    Yes, it’s tough to anticipate what will happen in the future but keeping customers should be the #1 target of any business :-) For instance, there is one thing on CanalSat which does not exist on Parabole and which I would like to have is to be able to select the language in which a film is shown…

  73. d says

    2 March 2009 at 20:55

    Yup thats something that we would like to have as well ,it forms part of our project amongst many that will be seeing the light this year ;)
    P.s i dont work for parabole

  74. mehdi says

    3 March 2009 at 09:45

    hi D,
    you work for parabole? can any1 else help?
    i saw that the liverpool game will be on superport 7 tonight…
    will s7 give the mancehster united game tomorrow and the facup this week?
    btw D, u have the details of the different packages of dstv?
    thanks

  75. d says

    3 March 2009 at 15:10

    Hi Mehdi ,

    well do you have parabole ?

    well here how it is
    i had parabole for 3 years and removed it at the beginning of 2008 to put canalsat..
    3 months ago, i put parabole again because canalsat gives so many games late, and i now have both!
    however, i had opted for family mix..which had gsports
    parabole changed my subscription to FAmily, WHEN GSPORTS disappeared and told me they would change it when the have football.on my contract its FAMILY MIX
    so thats why im keeping track of what happens.if its confirmed all the games are back, ill tell them to upgrade my subscription
    can any plz keep me up to date?i can see today that the liverpool game is on through the guide, but no news for tomorrow
    if the games there tomorrow too, ill upgrade it

    hi everyone,
    I called parabole the other day to ask them to change my subscription after there was an error and they gave me parabole family.And guess what?before i tell them my name, that stupid mannerless lady told me i have only parabole family and thats what in the contract!!!
    the contract was infront of me, and it was written parabole mix..im sure there’s a parabole spy who visits this site.btw i dont care, koz i have already complained abt parabole in a mail to radioplus and the next day, radioplus talked abt fans complaining..im wondering if its because of me…
    BTW, can any2 please tell me if we are getting the facup???/
    pff, i woke up to check the tv schedule.pff…no facup..i can see a league game today, but no facup????this is annoying, because the facup is being broadcast on no channel in mauriitius!
    as far as i remember, i think last week in WEEKEND or 5-plus, it was written, they had found an agreement with S7 with prem league and facup??was it??
    pff..im getting mad…
    hey you parabole spy , try sort this out u liar.:)
    if any1 knows if we are getting the facup today, please reply…

    champions league liverpool / real madrid will not be broadcast on parabole maurice , its a great lost for the parabole maurice subcribers

  81. naushad says

    22 November 2009 at 16:10

    parabole has just introduced HD football matches on supersport3..but they don’t want to give the HD decoder to existing customers..only new subcribers will get the hd decoder..existing customers will only benefit from hd in january 2010..that’s unjust…..

  82. avinash says

    23 November 2009 at 21:45

    That’s crap, if it’s true.

  83. naushad says

    24 November 2009 at 01:53

    it’s true..i called them personally..i am stupefied..tomorrow i am sending a letter to the director…parabole maurice is alienating its subscribers…if they don’t react to my letter..i will vent out my frustration in the media..

    Canasalt is better for football, because you get every important Champions League game (ManUtd,Chelsea,LFC,Real,Barca), plus English Premier League, Spanish football for Barca and Real, and Italian football.

    Parabole is way overpriced and you do not get every champions league match. FA Cup and League Cup are not that important.

  86. avinash says

    30 January 2010 at 17:51

    As far as I can see on the SuperSport website, the Liverpool – Bolton match will be shown on SuperSport 3 as from 18:30.

  87. ¥@$# says

    30 January 2010 at 17:53

    Nopes, that’s for Supersport SA I think… We receive Supersport Africa in Mauritius…

    bonjour a tout le monde
    je suis interesse de prendre parabole maurice
    estce que les chaines sont en hautes definition (HD)

  90. avinash says

    8 August 2010 at 07:49

    Non. Que TF1. Par contre, CanalSat offre 3 chaînes en HD…

    This year also there seems to be a problem with parabole Maurice and English Premier League. Supersports has stopped giving Parabole Maurice the rights for SS3 and SS7. Hopefully there is a solution, else bye-bye…..

    But unfortunately there is no bouquet which gives me football in english and movies and series in frencs :(…….. So sad for me….

    wen i heard that there won’t be any football on parabole,i immediately took a subscription with canal on the same day!they are offering 3 months free subscription!nw i’l have to write to parabole to cancel my contract with them which ends next year!they shud nt make any fuss,coz without supersport,the contract is nt the same!

  93. mehdi says

    14 August 2010 at 23:40

    Hi
    parabole is back to its very best. I was never informed that Parabole wont be having the rights for this season’s premier league. So they always inform in advance when it comes to fees increases, but never when it comes to consumer satisfaction?
    So, i believe it should be my right to stop paying them, or at least to be allowed to swap for a dstv package.
    was anyone else not informed that they would not be having the premier league this season?

  94. parobolehater says

    15 August 2010 at 15:30

    @avinash did you get any notice from parabole that they won’t be showing the premier league games?
    anyone knows about the dstv packages which still show supersport and the prices?
    from dstvafrica.com, i only see that supersport is available on their premium package.pff

  95. Nizam says

    16 August 2010 at 16:58

    parabole maurice is useless

  96. avinash says

    17 August 2010 at 02:27

    Or are they expiring victims? But, sure, they have a major communication issue too…

  97. jas says

    17 August 2010 at 18:23

    DSTV for purchase of equipment rs 4000, plus monthly subscription of around Rs 1200!nah only knew that parabole won’t be showing football on saturday, when i switched to supersport!was shocked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  98. avinash says

    17 August 2010 at 22:06

    Yeah. I would have been shocked too…

  99. mehdi says

    17 August 2010 at 22:33

    can anyone confirm what packages are available on dstv which provide the fa premier league and the prices?plz
    and also, this competition among the satellite providers is ruining our lives!
    now who gets the carling cup and fa cup?:S

    pfff
    like last year, several matches were shown LATE on canalplus, either half an hour or an hour at times, due to clashes.
    so is it still going to be the same?and now parabole is no longer here!so what happens to the fans?:S

  100. avinash says

    17 August 2010 at 22:46

    They voice out their opinion on my blog :-)

  101. V says

    24 August 2010 at 13:06

    DO you want to hear the latest. PArabole is proposing to all those who want to resign a new package (with almost all channels except sports), and for football get the cheapest package from Canal +…… Wow, I never thought Mauritius would evolve like this with Competition!!!! LOL!!!!!

  102. mmmmm says

    25 August 2010 at 08:01

    @V almost all channels like? and the price?
    i always felt the staff there were too arrogant, especially on the phone
    i certainly saw a change though
    same with certain people who work at canalsat:S
    customer service is great in mauritius

  103. Irfaan says

    2 September 2010 at 21:35

    Im taking on Parabole, hopin that I will have football next season. This season its hopeless. And yeah, the basik bouquet at Rs 400 per month is great.

  104. avinash says

    3 September 2010 at 10:26

    Let’s hope you do get football next year.

  105. Bob says

    11 September 2012 at 16:33

    Parabole : La tele comme on l’aime. Inexistant customer service. Good product apart football. User friendly equipment. But they r making a mess out of it., This company deserves to go bankrupt. An e mail written to them since 3 months – still unanswered. They lack manners too.
    Canal sat is another clown. Poor equipment. only Bla bla bla. Their only strength is football. But at least they communicate with their customers. Choose between shit or fart.

  106. Avinash Meetoo says

    12 September 2012 at 07:59

    They are not that bad :-)

    What I don’t like though is that they increase their prices every year. Inflation is about 3% in Mauritius right now and I can assure you that their increase is more than 3%. I’ll call them today and ask.
