You Will Soon Be Able To Watch Netflix On This Next Gen DStv Decoder

MultiChoice Group, the parent company for DSTV has officially launched its next-generation personal video recorder (PVR) decoder capable of delivering 4K content and Dolby Atmos audio, and is integrated with rival Netflix and its own streaming platform Showmax.

The Explora Ultra, which MultiChoice said on Thursday will go on sale next week, has built-in Wi-Fi; a completely redesigned interface (designed for surfacing linear and on-demand content quickly); and a redesigned remote control.

MultiChoice said more streaming providers will be added to the platform in time. DStv customers will be able to pay for their Netflix subscription in their monthly DStv bill.

The new box is manufactured in South Africa and is made of recycled materials. It will cost a recommended R2 499, or R3 699 with installation.
