MediaFire kind of like Google Drive and Dropbox is a storage facility where you can backup your files and as seen through Insidus Games is the hub where we store most of our files as the space is very wide like 10GB of space of which less than 2GB makes Insidus Games. For those using this app must have noticed that certain files come up with a corrupted or copyright message and I found it odd really as I sourced most of my junk from a few trusted sources but yet again you find nothing wrong in distributing something like Lolo but something as awful as Somari. If you're reading this I'm assuming you're trying to fix the problem here and l was a victim of such consulted various sites but still no luck so here's how I manage to resolve it: - Firstly, if you need an app that can compress or zip your files this way it can bypass Google Drive or MediaFire. - Second select the folder and if you use ES File Explorer there's an option to compress and even comes with le

Turkish Couple Edits a YouTube channel which distributes a variety of music videos based on couples within a number of telenovelas. Part of which can be viewed on eExtra: #DisComplicated and Verdeelde Liefde. Here's another music video for the show #DisComplicated: For those wondering what song is used in the video it's called Me And My Broken Heart and it is performed by Rixton.

Boomerang is family skewed brand owned by Warner Bros. Discovery is home to franchises such as Scooby-Doo, Looney Tunes and Tom And Jerry and has experienced success with the likes like Mr. Bean, Ninja Express, Lamput and Zig & Sharko. Outside of that lied a brand which craved attention and needed to better their offering to match that of the main network, Cartoon Network. Unfortunately, it only served as a runner up in its eyes as it fills it's lineup with gags and family infused movies. Overseas, it is treated as a pushover while as other regions it is able to stand up its two feet. If you dive deeper onto, isn't it more like Comedy Central nowadays as both can keep viewers a certain capacity and lack the Netflix experience. Netflix dwells on originality and there's plenty of quality and originals to go around while Boomerang just seems to make up the other portion of their hub and there enters Cartoonito. Cartoonito seeks to reinvent Boomerang's dismal se

Disney Channel, an international children's channel home to various live-action shows such as Bunk'd, My Magic & Me and Raven's Home alongside animated series like Big City Greens, Vikingskool and The Ghost And Molly McGee is set to debut a new series, The Villains Of Valley View. The half-hour comedy follows a family of raucous supervillains recently ran afoul of the League of Villains, so now they must somehow beat a path to normalcy in a small Texas town. Produced by Chris Peterson and Bryan Moore, the duo have worked on several content including Coop & Cami: Ask The World also for Disney Channel, Lab Rats and it's later instalments Bionic Island and Elite Force and lastly The 70's Show for FOX. The Villains Of Valley View ensemble the talents of Isabella Pappas, Malachi Barton, Reed Horstmann, Kayden Muller-Janssen and Lucy Davis amongst others. Season 1 premieres from 5 December at 17:50

In March, Russia Today unexpectedly went dark on the DStv platform following some pending issues regarding the Ukraine war and since then MultiChoice allocated a message giving viewers a reason for its sudden dismissal. Of course for those who still want to get in on the action, Russia Today is available on StarSat as the pay-tv competitor did get clearance from the higher ups. On top of packaging the channel, Russia Today has allocated some offices within the region. Not sure what that has to do with DStv just thought viewers should know. Anyways, for several months Russia Today has been offline I mean there hasn't been clarity to why the physical component still resides. Some would think the pay-tv platform still has an agreement but from what I understand it could dissolve once a company fails to deliver. Then I also remember MultiChoice wasn't planning on terminating RT after a petition was released but the feed seen in Africa was cutoff regardless of that soft copy

ITV Choice was an international entertainment channel operated by ITV PLC was home to shows such as Coronation Street, Emmerdale, The Jonathan Ross Show, Doc Martin, Tipping Point among others. Two years ago, MultiChoice decided to scrap the channel as it faced an uphill with the Brit channels from BBC Studios and opted to distribute selected content amongst various channels as part of their never ending streamlining attempts which led to a bloodbath of DStv customers. Sure audiences get to see Tipping Point on BBC Brit and Coronation Street on M-Net. But one out of the two aren't even a full-time option while the other funnels their schedule with the same 2-4 shows on a daily basis. Now comes BBC UKTV , a channel from the forever dominating BBC Studios which seeks to show the advantage they have over DStv with content from BBC Brit and other Brit channels among them include Casualty, Deadly 60, The Great British Bake Off and Yakka Dee. Taking to account that if this ch

Openview has been active in the market for almost 10 years and has generated 3 million subscribers on top of that seen success with the likes of e.tv's additional channels eMovies, eReality and eExtra on top of third party channels like SABC Sport. But as some disgruntled consumers would say the channels are boring, the movies repeat for almost a year and so forth. Not that any of this isn't happening already with MultiChoice's DStv but not everyone is glued to a screen 24/7 which is where you get these channels. eReality a mashup of Food Network, ID and MTV, eToonz a kids channel balancing between X and Y, ePlesier a channel carved through scraps and lastly eXposed an edgier version of the current eReality but with a twist - drama. As several consumers are eMedia Investments had given these brands a curfew and I remember what was said about eToonz it's a kids channel but how do you explain how the likes of Cartoon Network even the preschool oriented Disney Juni

It was a moment worth capturing and etching on the walls of history, when the DStv Compact Cup won the prestigious Event or Competition Sponsorship of the Year award, at the Hollard Sports Industry Awards 2022; a platform recognised as South Africa’s most notable awards ceremony - honouring pioneers and innovators in the sports industry. The DStv Compact Cup was nominated in two categories namely, Event or Competition Sponsorship of the Year and Fan Engagement. The awards which were held in Newtown on Thursday evening, 24 November, hosted ground breakers in the sports and business industry. In the Audio-Visual Content of the Year category, the Longform Content of the Year Award was bagged by Makazole Mapimpi for his self-titled documentary which premiered in March 2022. “We’re incredibly proud of this win, as this award is a confirmation of how powerful it is to engage and interact with our DStv consumers across various touchpoints. The DStv Compact Cup was an innovative w

Three years ago, South African viewers were introduced to VIU a brand new streaming service and also PCCW's second attempt at in the streaming game following the termination of OnTapTV. For those who weren't present at the time, the brand failed to give the media specific details on the content viewed on the platform but ramped up partnerships with eMedia Investments and the SABC for some of its content part of which led to its relevancy. Last year, the brand got into a brawl with eMedia Investments regarding the agreement for various local productions seen on e.tv such as Scandal and Imbewu as eMedia failed to hold their end of the bargain. According to VIU at the time, consumers were alarmed to see that the content wasn't available on the platform as the e.tv productions had a following for which impacted their subscriber base with the brand set to lose the content to eVOD by 2024. During the month, SABC viewers were alarmed to see that the public broadcaster rece

A few months ago, AMC International unveiled plans to rollout AMC+ in Central Eastern Europe by the coming year with the brand joining the likes of NBCUniversal's Peacock and Warner Bros Discovery's soon to be merged HBO Max and Discovery+ that have yet to launch in the market. AMC International already supply various channels in the market including CBS Reality and CBS Justice in partnership with Paramount Global which are said to be up for renewal by early 2023 on MultiChoice's DStv alongside JimJam. Now their AMC+ streaming service kind of like Peacock's effect on the NBCUniversal's channels, there's not much clashing going between them as both are one of the few companies to balance their portfolio as the streamer comes with content from AMC, Sundance Now, IFC and Shudder. Just recently, Acorn TV announced on all their platforms that they would be inactive by the end of the year which leads me to wonder as to why this may be taking effect. I mean

During the week, various sources shared posters to Star Life's upcoming show Laxmi and just like Family Secrets on S3, they mistook the show for the one produced by the SABC. So we composed a demo of what's to come on the channel. Trust me when I say the final list is WAY TOO BIG and this is only a draft of it due to sources mislabeling content as we are planning to publish this alongside Zee World by next month unfortunately that's not entirely the case. Here's a recap errors committed by DStv in regard to the launch of Moonbug Kids and INX Prime ( before and after ). Now, the list of shows supposedly airing on the channel are: Laxmi (Main Lakshmi Tere Aangan Ki) - 26 December Lakshmi, a middle-class young girl aims at earning money as her mom died of pneumonia and they failed to afford her treatment. Aged 9, she has a crush on and wishes to marry Arjun Agnihotri but he moves to London for 10 years to complete his studies. Unforeseen Love (Mehndi Hai Rachne W

The Spiderverse continues its expansion Superheros are taking the television world by storm, and Amazon Prime Video is taking this opportunity to get in on all the action. The first confirmed Spider-Man spinoff will be Silk: Spider Society, but it won't be the only one according to Sony. For those who remember, Sony and Disney didn't see eye to eye when it came to the Tom Holland Spider-Man movies. After the second installment, Spider-Man: Far From Home, Sony and Disney had a hard time coming to a financial deal, leaving many to wonder if the third film, Spider-Man: No Way Home, was going to happen. However, the two companies came to terms with the fact that Sony will hold the screen rights to all of the Spider-Man films and characters, which is now allowing Sony to jump in on creating spin-offs of its own. Amazon Studios and Sony will introduce audiences to Cindy Moon, a.k.a. Silk. While no one is sure how many shows fans are getting, one is Silk: Spider Society, which wil

Characters from many Nickelodeon worlds have been misplaced into each other's worlds. Jimmy Neutron's mission is to fix the situation. He sends out Danny Phantom, Arnold Shortman, SpongeBob SquarePants, Tommy Pickles, Otto Rocket, and Timmy Turner to take photos of the misplaced characters with his new invention, the "Neutrino-Cam 4000", a camera that also functions as a teleporter, which will send them back to their own worlds.

Star Life, an international television channel owned by Disney Star which is home to various Bollywood shows such as Anupama, Lost In Love, Imlie and Love By Chance is set to launch yet another series outside of the StarPlus tile titled Laxmi (Lakshmi Ghar Aayi). The social drama tells the story of Maithli, a young educated woman, gets married to Raghav without giving any dowry. However, Raghav's mother is determined to extort materialistic things from her. Simran Pareenja, Akshit Sukhija and Ananya Khare are the leads. Produced by Shakuntalam Telefilms, the 2021 series sets out to deal with issues regarding dowry which is still prevailing in India. Just like Loved By Chance, Laxmi is one of the only shortest shows in primetime as several other shows such as Lost In Love, Anupama and Imlie are still ongoing for audiences in India meaning the only sure way these series could exit is for them to pause production. Laxmi replaces Loved By Chance from 26 December which is just a

The Walt Disney Company Africa, along with its partners the US Department of State, The U.S Agency for International Development (USAID), and WildlifeDirect, are pleased to announce that Team Sayari will air on Disney Channel, (DStv 303) at 14:05 (CAT) from Monday 12 December 2022, with one episode airing each day from Monday to Friday. This announcement follows the successful launch and first run of the entertaining and educational program, Team Sayari, on National Geographic Wild, in response to requests from those that didn’t get the opportunity to see it and for those that would like to enjoy it again over the holidays.  This innovative, children’s documentary series is produced by Kenyan production company, White Rhino Films and aims to celebrate, encourage and inspire the next generation of environmental champions to interact with, look after, and safeguard the environment and its resources.

In September, MultiChoice held a showcase where they unveiled several new content for their consumers. Alongside those developments came two new channels, Moonbug Kids and Qwest TV of which one is still awaiting release on the pay-tv platform. Founded by Quincy Jones, Qwest TV is a jazz skewed destination celebrating the life of millenniums through concerts, documentaries and interviews. It works as a multimedia outlet as it comes with its own streaming service for which the linear channel sources it content. For several months despite no channel, MultiChoice has been promoting various content for Qwest TV but from the looks of it their teams get the time allocation mixed up you find yourself promoting February 2022 when it should write October. But from what's clear in this documents is that the channel will likely arrive by early 2023 and it's all thanks to Showmax as they have the first quarter of 2022 panned out for Qwest TV. Interesting to note, MultiChoice ne

Novela Magic was Africa's first attempt at a storytelling channel geared for viewers in Africa and I know the channel won't be killed off entirely but it is going off air in South Africa so I have every right to refer it to it in the past tense. As it is the channel has a few days left and there's been nothing but absolute silence probably because MultiChoice didn't bother put up a termination notice so viewers will be stunned when they find channel 165 is blocked thinking account payment or technical issues when in fact it was snatched. An early overview of the channel revealed it would source their content from Mzansi Magic, kykNET, Africa Magic and further local channels from M-Net. From what was understood about the channel it took its content mainly from the latter three. While as brands like Maisha Magic, Pearl Magic, Abol TV and Zambezi Magic are still trying to build their offering for Novela Magic so it could explain why it is being snatched from DStv custo

It's been a while since the Openview competitor has made any headlines. The last anyone got an update had to do with its launch in South Africa alongside the mishap of the allocation of their channels to rivaling outlet. Now we've recieved word from our sources that a new music destination Hip-Hop 411 will make a landing to PremiumFree and become the exclusive home to all their content. Founded by Lwazi Nonyukela, Hip-Hop 411 is a black owned production agency which produces content for television in this case ones that idolize the genre. From what 411 suggests, they set out to be trendsetters with news and other updates on your favourite stars. Some celebs the brand promote include Cassper Nyovest, Nasty C, A-Reece and so forth. Hip-Hop 411 is said to be folded under Pulse TV but with the amount of content you'd see here you'd expect more but it's not like PremiumFree TV does duplications as they rather pull an eExtra and cram as much content onto one chan

Entertainment Inside Us (Insidus) has conducted several experiments over the past few months and after almost a year we can now say we're 80% complete with some of the adjustments made toward our site in an attempt to make it mobile friendly. We also updated some tags in case you're wondering where they were placed. - DStv Highlights rebranded to become DStv Flex, based on an unbundled platform which has yet to launch. This label is based on content coming toward several DStv channels. - Openview Highlights rebranded to become Openview+, based on an upcoming pay-tv service of course this one is meant to offer updates on content. - Telenovela Highlights rebranded into Everyday Novelas, based on the first blog I followed regarding Portuguese telenovelas titled Everyday Novelas Africa. What I basically do here is report on a variety of telenovelas from across the world. - General Highlights rebranded into Google basically this is for various content outside of the above-menti

KIX has been regarded as martial arts movie channel for about two years on the DStv platform and just like most movie channels or in this case KIX based channels seen in other countries it transitions to general entertainment which is out consumers will be seeing in the coming months with the launch of its first series 3AM - The Office. The Hungry Ghost Festival is around the corner. A newcomer at a workplace offends the ghosts in his office building when he shows disrespect for the spirits on his first day at work. In the course of a night shift, the man and his colleagues working overtime experience spooky encounters that make them reflect on their behaviours and beliefs...

Produced by Thrill, a general entertainment channel owned by Celestial Tiger Entertainment is home to a variety of series and interesting enough these come from the same people that manage KIX so you could say coincidence. All that

Netflix is an American based streaming service which has been dominating the global market for the past decade with shows like Stranger Things, Umbrella Academy, The Crown, Blood & Water, He-Man and the Oddballs but that's not why I compare it to PremiumFree TV. PremiumFree TV is an African based free to view platform taking on the likes of eMedia Investments' Openview platform that basically does what I found common with Netflix - being original. I mean you won't find any of SABC or e.tv's channels sitting on there even something as educational as Mindset is not sitting on the platform only brands like Sports Connect, Kiddiwinks, Romanza and True African brands that not a lot of people are familiar with.

Blippi expands its universe Moonbug Entertainment is double-dipping into the world of Blippi, with a new franchise plan for his TV pal and co-host Meekah. First up is a 28-episode live-action series based on the Blippi format of travel and education that’s airing now on AVOD platform HappyKids, and will go wide in December on Netflix. The series also features Move with Meekah, a segment in which the titular character learns about movement with Olympian Shawn Johnson joining as a celebrity guest. But the real push will be in L&M. Moonbug is building a consumer products program around the bubbly character, working with existing Blippi licensees including Florida-based toyco Jazwares, which will launch a Meekah doll next year. The company has also partnered with Disguise for Halloween costumes that are due out in fall 2023, and with Amazon, which will sell signature purple-and-yellow Meekah T-shirts starting in December.

In a development that many saw coming, Hasbro has announced today that it’s initiating a sale process for eOne’s library and adult-skewing scripted and unscripted content businesses. “As we execute Blueprint 2.0 [link] with a focus on strategic investment in key franchise brands like D&D, Peppa Pig and Transformers, we plan to expand our entertainment offerings across scripted TV, digital shorts and blockbuster films,” said CEO Chris Cocks in a statement. Olivier Dumont, president of kids and family brands at eOne, has confirmed to Kidscreen that his division will not be affected by the sale. The eOne Family Brands portfolio includes high-performing IPs such as PJ Masks, Power Rangers and preschool series Ricky Zoom. PJ Masks, in particular, has a robust Hasbro-branded consumer products program spanning toys, playsets and costumes, as well as a broad range of licensed products from category-leading partners. Assets that are for sale include eOne’s library content, unscripted

Jason David Frank was a key attraction to the Power Rangers franchise, debuting on the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers series when it premiered in 1993. Frank was one of the most–if not the most–consistent presence throughout the franchise, appearing in 10 series and four movies. Although he primarily portrayed the Green Ranger, he would also later play the White, Black and Red Rangers through various iterations in the Power Rangers franchise, which has run almost consistently since the ‘90s, with one as recently as this September. Power Rangers of course continues to have a major fanbase, which never really gave itself a chance to die down much since 1993. Going back to that time, basically everyone of that age had a favorite Power Ranger and took on that role during recess. And let’s face it, many of us argued over who got to be the Green Ranger. In addition to his acting career, Jason David Frank was an accomplished martial artist. Frank was an 8th degree black belt and was
