how can a series like that be aired at 19:00 in the evening when all type of sexual preferences are explicitly shown?
Only saw about 30 sec of the series on 23/3/2020 after watching Masterchef! Was shocked that a gay, lesbian and heterosexual sexual relationships featured in such a short time span. What are we trying to teach our society? How can such a program be aired? Let alone at 19:00? It is offensive and with extremely low moral values. Really. How did this pass as a series anyway?
Lucifer tv series
I am complaining about the new TV series Lucifer. I think it is an outrage to air a series that promotes satanism and that makes satan look like a hero. This is completely misleading. This series glorifies Lucifer and sells lies to the public by making Lucifer look human and caring which is a total lie. It is so dis-respective to DSTV and Mnet viewers who have Christian beliefs. It should not be aired later, it should be removed completely from television.
This is a very sad post from a very sad person. Christian Bible bashers. I'm atheist which means I don't believe in either deity and I find the show quite entertaining.
You are a very sad person. If you don't like it don't watch.
Unethical - the Lucifer series on DSTV Channel 102
I find it most disturbing that this kind of series are aired during family time (19:00) on Wednesdayso Channel 102 (Edge). It goes against any grain of Christianity to project satan as a caring and helpful "person". Children especially will be giving contradicting messages when allowed to watch this. I know one can block it or remove the channel but that is not the point, what has become of morality and values?
Freedom of religion
Please remove this series. It is so wrong to glorify satan.
when I watched it i found nothing bad about the show he never stole peoples souls so ja she made a big fuss over nothing
First of all this show is awesome and second of all, fiction. If you don't like it change the channel. Even if the show is cancelled if your child likes the show he or she can just go download it anyway. Supernatural is a very big show and most people love it. Lucifer also appears on this show and he is fantastic. He is one of the people on the show that all the fans love the most. That doesn't make us satanists. Same goes for Lucifer. Honestly this is a very good show and the fact that it has to be cancelled is bull. It's not that hard to press a button and change the channel.

If people don't like the series, don't watch it... As simple as that. Don't come here and deny other people the pleasure of watching a good, funny series.
It is extremely small-minded of many Christians to object to the series, Lucipher because of their Christian values. Do not assume that we all are Christian and find the show offensive. Besides, this clearly is a secular state unlike the Apartheid 'christian' state that banned films, music and books not only for racist reasons but often because it violated the Christian value system. Luckily, we live in modern times where supersticion and fear does not govern us, nor does the value system of one group of South Africans. We are a diverse nation and a small fraction of Christians (not even many Christians) should not dictate what we can or cannot see on DSTV. I mean, use your parental control options or simply change the channel. Why be a pest to the rest of us that do not and do not want to follow your belief system?
Your Christian God is responsible for plagues and famines, he alone killed the entire world in a flood and you gave a problem with Satan? Satan didn't stick his son on a cross!
Christianity is the one trying to project God as a caring and helpful "person" when he and his followers are responsible for murders and even worse, hypocrisy.
I would like Christian channels rescheduled to late night viewing because they present a murderous God as a caring and helpful "person". And his leaders? Just look at Ted Haggard frolicking with rent boys, or the Vatican and their priests going the extra mile for (or with) children...Please keep this Christian filth away from our precious children.
Please stop the program lucifer for us as a family and for my living God its a disgrace.
This is no freedom but stupidity to the core my brothers and sisters .We are where we are as far as morality is concern in our society because we always allow few morally corrupt people who always think its their right to insult what informs our values to mislead us. This is a war for your mind my friend, not just a show or nothing about the freedom of choice.
The greatest weapon the devil knows best to use against human is doubt. And this is to sow exactly that. All realistic, religious and morally conscious citizen must stand up ! We can not allow morally and spiritually blind people to keep misleading us all to hell !
Redeeming the devil and permitting Mnet to dignify the devil with our money, in our homes will be consenting if we do not stand
.There is only few of those who will want us to succumb but we must all stand firm and fight!
Ruin Masterchef every season
i just want to know why MNET feels they have to spoil every season of Masterchef for us. last season when there were still quite a few contestants left in the show, MNET starts advertising the winner in between the programme. how can you do that? i understand its a competition for people to meet the winner etc but then we have no point in watching the rest of the season. last night in an ad break while watching Masterchef, they advertised the winner Jonathan. its just wrong, can someone please do something about it.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
To add to the complaints about Masterchef Australia currently broadcasting on M-net, I would appreciate it if M-net did not under estimate the intelligence of their viewers by broadcasting a result show ie. an immunity cookoff before the actual challenge takes place. This has happened twice to my knowledge. I work in the film industry, and wonder if the Masterchef producers are aware that you are butchering their excellent product, and putting the competition process out of context.
I feel the same... I think this is incredibly unprofessional. Masterchef is something i really enjoy but every season it gets spoiled by advertisements announcing the winners. Thums down MNet! You promote viewing pleasure but you are not keeping up to it...
program schedules
Program schedule not followed like stated in tv guide. when movie must play, sport on mnet. and this is not on... why can they not keep to schedule... really...annoying
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Seriously, why are they showing the same commercials for the past 6 years? The same promotions for 2013 music awards? The same Flower Boys Next Door and Cheese in the Trap, the same Kpop Tasty Road, whats going on?
mnet is not about the magic anymore. I lost that feeling with the excitement since they started showing the same episode of a series minimum 4 times a week. I watch carte blanch on sundays, then again monday afternoon, then later that same monday evening again and again on friday. Same with masterchef. It showed thursday, friday, saturday and sunday. It was the first episode of the season and now i want to throw up if i hear the name masterchef. I'm not interested in how a movie or music video was made. That takes the fantasy away. Sure mnet could say that if we don't like it, we should change the channel. They should just realize that if all their custemors do change the channel, they will be out of business. They need to listen to their viewers and stop thinking about max profit.
I am also about to cancel my subscription! I do not pay all that money to watch the same programs over and over and then in reverse, then over again! I do not want to be close on the heels of America, I want to watch a show in sequence, even if I have to wait for it! I PREFER to wait, rather than trying to remember what happened when with who, without stepping on any heels!
PLEASE stop this. I think America is a great country, but am tired for that voice telling me how wonderful it is in America's shadow and on it's heels!
Susan and whole family, as well as extended families, friends and anyone I know
I agree 100%! What does it matter if we are close to America or not?! There has been so many re-runs of series episodes that I have no idea what the heck is going on in the story anymore! Why doesn't M-Net rather just get the whole season before airing it? I have no problem waiting a bit longer. People of M-Net might think that it's cool being close to America, but in fact it's uncool. The reason for constantly having to re-run episodes could have been avoided. Viewing is now almost totally unbearable. This is nonsense man! Sies!
Arrow series on M-net. It is the second time since the series started that you show us old episodes. Lame excuse that its too close to the American series. Get People that know what they are doing. If this is the way things are done on a TV channel which I have to pay for I am going to rethink my subscription.
Whats up with M-net? Are you guys running out of money? The amount of re-runs is ridiculous! I think there is more about the making of upcoming movies on than actual movies! And if i have to watch the making of Hotel Transilvania one more time i think I'm going to do my nut! I'm beginning to think I'm wasting my money paying subscriptions to M-net. This country seriously needs more competition...totally unhappy with M-net.
Change of Schedule - MNet
I am so unhappy with MNET's latest changes to the schedule which are apparantly in the "best interests" of the veiwers! Firstly when we subscribed to MNET we certainly did not suscribe to watching KYKNET up to 19h30 every day. We also subscribed because of the KTV for our children who have not yet "grown up". For people without DSTV, MNET is the next affordable option, and our children can therefore not surf the different channels looking for other children realated TV, they only had KTV. Our family were also looking forward to watching Australian Chef which we later found out would be replaced by Binnelanders. MNET say that they are meeting the peoples demands however not once as a MNET viewer was I EVER consulted or asked or even sent a survey to see what changes (if any) i would like! This is a ploy by MNET for us to subscribe to DSTV, however as alot of people who have MNET cant afford DSTV I think alot of people are going to be cancelling and going to Top TV which is the same cost per month as MNET. Very disappointed in MNET. (P.S. the reception is awful as well!)

Clearly the terrestrial viewer is no longer valued!
I agree. Pse refer my email 2 days ago.
I agree and lodged my complaint 2 days ago by email and have since not received any reaction from mnet/DSTV.

Not what I signed up for
So Mnet has decided that as of 4 April 2011 all Mnet subscribers who watch Mnet with a decoder will now be given a different line-up to those who watch Mnet through DSTV. When I signed up with Mnet years ago I signed up for movies, ktv, the occassional sport, entertainment, etc. Now I am forced to watch Kyknet from 7am - 7.30pm Mon-Fri, and sport the whole day on Saturday until 9pm! Mnet said (in each and every statement they have made regarding these changes) that ktv has been removed because they feel that audience has grown up, yet for the month of April 2011 every movie on a Sunday morning is an animated one! The Sunday night premiere is now also the movie on Wednesday and Saturday nights, so the same movie is been shown 3 times in 1 week in the prime time slot! I almost feel like Mnet has breached my contract with them. I was never consulted with these changes, I never saw any questionaire sent out (in magazines, the TV guide, or on radio), but according to Mnet this is what the viewers wanted? Get real Mnet, this is your way of getting people to sign up for DSTV. Why can't you be happy with the money you are making? Why 'blackmail' us? If the rumour is true, this will all come to an end in 2 years time and then Mnet via decoder will be no more, so let's hope Top-TV has some plans in the pipeline. If I get the May schedule and it's the same as the April one, with sport all day Saturday, no mid-week day movies, etc what's the point in keeping my subscription? Wake up Mnet, some people can afford this!

Please do your work i've send you people all the papers that you need for the debit order and i'm still getting sms.
I'm still waiting for my upgrade to explora for R899 a month.
What is the point of having a Saturday schedule when you're just going to run rugby over it?
Your cutsey forum is useless, too.
Since last week and thursday (14 / 11) we have had no signal from mnet. We live in the western cape and for some reason no one can assist us with this problem. Surely a company like multichoice sa must have an contractor that service the towers when a probleme accures.
Way in advance mnet will send you a reminder for when your payments are due and if you don't pay on time they will suspend your service, so why does our complaints not get answered.
Why did Mnet replace Binnelanders with some crappy programs that we don't even watch. They also took away KTV for my kids. Why am I still paying. I cannot afford DSTV and now they do not worry about Mnet subscribers any more. We are still paying!
How many seasons of SA Idols do we still need to see? Please stop this series.
I would like to know what we are suppose to
do, now that they are not going to have us m net guides from march.
As I don't have d stv and cannot view the guide on the tv.
Disappointed
Gee I am so glad somebody else feels the same way as me. The advertised programmes and scheduled programmes for MNET are completley different. Who wants to be subjected to watch RUGBY from 9h00 in the morning until 22h00 on a Saturday evening. What has happened to all the movies we used to get. Why can't you put the Rugby on the CSN SPORT CHANNEL (part of MNET) and give us back our normal Saturday night programmes. After all we are also paying for a service and it is not cheap either. If a programme is scheduled for a Saturday evering such as MISSING and Rugby takes it place you have to see that you are home on a Sunday to watch the repeat. I think what you are doing to MNET viewers is unfair. Not everybody can afford DSTV.
Personally I feel we are now paying for something that does not suit the actual consumer that MNET claim to be providing for. Being asked to upgrade our perfectly functioning decoders at our expence is not right!
*Cutesy.
I can barely spell, that's how irritated I am.
Bad reception
Would just like to know what is happening with MNET now - yesterday I had KYKNET the whole time on MNET - I do not pay for KYKNET and when it switch over to menet 19:30 - reception was so poor no one can watch it - please make a plan

For a couple of months now, we have an intermittent problem with MNet reception. The decoder sometimes fleetingly and automatically switches from channel 7 to 4, and then back again. The picture becomes scrambled, or blue, with no sound or static sound. This is so annoying.
Dear MNet I have had no reception since Friday 26 august. This happened over a month ago and I have replaced decorder and the aerial. I do not want to spend hours on the phone to the call station getting pointless instructions. should I just cancel the whole thing> Fleur Way-Jones, Grahamstown
I am also highly annoyed at new format for mnet which I pay for! Because of Kyknet(I don't speak Afrikaans) some programs I would like to watch only come on At 5 am! That's at least 60 hours of programs I may want to watch, stolen! Never mind every night at 7 30 we miss first few minutes of every program that comes on at that time. I'm paying for MNET which is not cheap not Kyknet!
Why, why does dstv have to check smartcards during a programme? Do it during some of your zillion adverts. And your sound levels are up to ###. One has to turn up the sound full blast to hear the dialogue during programmes. But when the adverts come on, the volume blows you out of the room. This is where SABC wins hands down
Binnelanders
why is binnelanders been replaced by some crappy programme. there's nothing worth watching lately. some people like myself cannot afford DSTV. are you trying to tell those who just have MNET just have to make do with what you want us to watch. is binnelanders coming back soon ?????
