The current Tellytrack Partnership, involving Phumelela (in Business Rescue), Kenilworth Racing and Gold Circle will be dissolved on 28 February 2022.
As a direct result of that dissolution, with effect from 1 March 2022, Tellytrack (Channel 249) will no longer be broadcast on the DStv bouquet.
No doubt, the potential absence of KZN horse racing on DStv will be causing all racing fans, some disquiet.
Gold Circle wants to assure the public that negotiations with 4Racing are on-going regarding the reciprocal use of product to facilitate multiple broadcast channels encompassing all South African racing, and we are hopeful of settling on an agreement before 1 March.
Gold Circle understands its obligation to deliver the best possible broadcast of its racing product to the racing public.
In this regard, a High-Definition broadcast of KZN and International racing has been launched and is available, at no charge, via live streaming (www.galloptv.co.za).
The same service will also become available via free to air (FTA) satellite decoder with. a dish installation on IS-20 (same installation as DStv and OVHD).
Various brands of free to air (FTA) satellite decoders (e.g. Space HD FTA Decoder) are available at Space TV outlets countrywide (https://www.spacetv.co.za/contact/) or online retail websites like www.takealot.com for R500-R1000.
Once purchased and installed, there are no monthly subscription fees payable.
Gallop TV has set up a support call centre (031-314 1902) and email support service ([email protected]) to assist customers with any queries they may have regarding access to Gallop TV.
