Oh yeah, it's been on for ages, curse words, profanities and religious words (or whatever you choose to call it) have been censored on Dstv and Gotv, this happened in d wake of the terrorist attacks, who operate under the guise of religion (xtainity and Islam inclusive).In summary it's a ploy just to curb religious excesses.

DSTV has censored "GOD" and "JESUS" from all "their" stations, any body that thinks there is still time is just living in delusion, the god of this world is upping his game every day, the days are evil, Christians should start preparing for the coming of the Lord, check your garment every single day, because the time is nearer.

Are you just knowing?

OP, you beat me to opening this post.

I noticed that few months ago. Every time a character says the word God, they mute that part. Even when there is a subtitle, the word God gets blurred.

Can someone tell me what they find offensive about the word God?
Its not about being offensive, I would say sensitive. Mind you, the DSTV brand is not some kiosk business that can wake up one day and take a decision. They probably might have conducted a survey or research before taking such step.

Meanwhile, I won't be comfortable if I keep hearing Allah or seeing it on my subtitles while watching a program.

Get over it, I don't know why Africans take everything too serious and personal.

Incase u want to quote me, please don't be rude. I was polite

Can someone tell me what they find offensive about the word God? They censor a word that doesn't harm the viewing of majority on earth, yet they show movies and music videos with half naked girls shaking their butt and making you feel like it's right in front of you.

This same hypocrites didn't censor the name of a Greek goddess called Athena when they showed Hercules yesterday.
and you still keep on renewing your suscription every month?!!! Na wa ooooooooo!

Because they know the aspect of business

They run a T.V station where Christians, Atheists and
Christians watches

I don't wanna be watching television and hear someone shouting Allah or God, i don't believe in either of them

Religion is a scam

You don't bring religion into your business that comprises of mixed audiences

The same way you as a Christian would feel uncomfortable watching T.V and someone is shouting "Allah" and "Mohammed" all day is exactly how a Muslim would be uncomfortable seeing someone shouting the name of a dude they don't know or worship

Here in the USA, religion or praying is forbidden in schools/public


i find ur reply disturbing. and am curious, why dont u believe in Allah or God and even religion??

End time indeed. Everything is a sign of end time, nonsense!!! There are several other Christian channels u can watch. I see no issue here. If d censored channels are not pleasing to u, stick to d Christian or Muslim channels 247. But I'm pretty sure u will die of boredom. grin

Assuming religious groups could invest in having their own digital satellite TV service, it will be better, y'all will just be in your lane. I am also pretty sure even d so called religious hypocrites will not even patronize it. Lolz

So you think the people complaining should not have been part of the survey?
Just because you aren't comfortable. The reality is atheists are coming across as the most intolerant set of people and feeling like victims all the time.

You think theists are comfortable with all contents they are allowing free pass now? How many people do you think will be left if all theists decide not to subscribe again. But just because they are tolerant unlike atheist, businesses want to take advantage of that.

Well it's a wake up call to theists subscribing. If you don't stand your ground everything you pay for will be trash very soon.

How is it evil? As a Christian, I find it stupid whenever I see fellow Christians complain about censoring.
DSTV is a publicly traded company in SA, catering to both Christians, Muslims, Hindus and other religions. So if you are not watching TBN, shut up and change the channel
touché! It's that simple.
