How to stream the match at work"},"content":{"rendered":"

If you love cricket as much as we do (and being a company of South Africans with a British-born\u00a0 CEO we really do love to get the green and gold flying high, just to annoy him) you are probably looking for the best way to keep an eye on the score from your desk.<\/p>\n

So, if your company doesn\u2019t have the match playing on your canteen TV (like we do right now) you don\u2019t need to take a sick day to watch the cricket on your DSTV at home.<\/p>\n

Do this instead:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Inform your manager that you will be providing him \/ her with a valuable service in the form of live updates.<\/li>\n
  2. Open your browser and type now.dstv.co<\/a>m into your URL bar.<\/li>\n
  3. Click the \u201cLive TV\u201d button and Select one of the Supersport channels who are screening the match (202 or 206)<\/li>\n
  4. Click the \u201cpicture-in-picture\u201d icon at the bottom of your screen (it\u2019s next to the LIVE icon).<\/li>\n
  5. Now all you have to do is drag and drop the pop-up screen to the corner of your computer screen desktop and \u201cHowzit!\u201d you can watch the game and get those month-end reports out at the same time.<\/li>\n
  6. Don’t knock your coffee over when SA takes that wicket – remember – you’re still at work after all.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Needless to say you must already have a DSTV now subscription set up. If you don’t have DSTV we recommend buying a nice bag of chips for your co-worker who does, and then send them this article.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
