DStv customers get Showmax for free
DStv Premium customers will now receive a Showmax subscription, worth R99 per month, at no extra charge.
In addition to getting access to Showmax’s catalogue of more than 25,000 TV show episodes and movies via the DStv Explora decoder, DStv Premium customers will also be able to access Showmax via the DStv Now app, as well as their PC, laptop, mobile device, media player or smart TV.
The Showmax subscription gives customers access to two concurrent streams on different devices, so parents can watch their shows on the big screen while the kids watch cartoons on their tablet.
Showmax also gives customers the option to download up to 25 TV shows and movies to their smartphone or tablet for later viewing.
Premium customers can use up to four mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets to access the DStv Now app.
“More and more customers are telling us they love to binge-watch box sets on DStv Catch Up and Showmax. It’s the way the world is moving and that’s why we’re offering all our Premium customers Showmax, so they can enjoy this exceptional experience,” said Mark Rayner, CEO of MultiChoice South Africa.
MyBroadband recently reported that Showmax was integrating into DStv, and that Showmax’s video service will become available on DStv’s digital platforms.
There is also speculation that content exclusive to DStv may become available through a streaming package without the need for a satellite TV subscription.
Showmax and MultiChoice previously stated they were looking at DStv and Showmax working closely on digital entertainment, but had no specific details to share.
