MultiChoice says it will make HD channels available to all its customers, effective immediately.

The group said that customers who have channels in their package that are also available in HD, will see these channels in HD if they have the necessary HD equipment.

Previously, only DStv Premium customers had access to the channels on their package.

MultiChoice said that new HD channels will be offered to all as and when they become available.

Currently DStv Premium customers with an HD decoder and an HD capable TV, have access to 20 HD channels. DStv Extra customers will now have access to 6 HD channels, DStv Compact customers 4 HD channels, DStv Family and Select 1 HD channel each.

There are currently no HD channels available for customers on DStv Access and EasyView.

Customers do not need to do anything to get the HD channels – if they have HD decoders and HD capable televisions, they will see the HD channels that are available on their package in HD within the next week, Multichoice said.
