About Showmax

Showmax is a South African streaming service and entertainment company. It launched on 19 August 2015 and operates the website showmax.com. The business falls under the entertainment industry and is classified as both a streaming service and a business.
Showmax is a streaming service offering series, movies, and live sport over the internet. When something goes wrong, it usually shows up as playback that stalls, apps that freeze, or sign-in errors. This page collects current reports so you can see whether the problem is on Showmax's side or yours, and it explains what you can check on your own device before contacting support.
Showmax is a video-on-demand streaming platform founded in 2015 and based in South Africa. It runs apps for phones, TVs, and browsers, and serves viewers across multiple regions. Content plays over an internet connection, so the service depends on both its own servers and your local network. Common problems include videos that buffer or fail to start, apps that freeze or crash on launch, search not returning results, and login errors. Server connection issues tend to affect many users at once, while app-specific faults often hit only certain devices or app versions. Start on your side: check your internet connection, restart the app, and make sure it is updated. A device restart clears most frozen-app cases. If playback fails on every device in your home, the fault is more likely on the service side, and recent reports here will confirm it.

Questions

Is Showmax down right now?

According to reports on this page, Showmax looks fine for most people. Isolated failures still happen — report yours if you are stuck.

When was the last mass outage?

We do not have a recorded mass outage for Showmax yet.

Why does Showmax keep buffering even though other sites work fine?

Streaming needs a steadier connection than browsing. Try lowering the video quality in the app settings, closing other apps using bandwidth, or restarting your router. If buffering continues on all devices, the issue may lie with the service itself.

The app froze on my TV. What should I try first?

Force-close the app and reopen it. If that fails, restart the TV and check for an app update in your device's app store. Outdated versions are the most common cause of freezes and crashes.
