High Definition (HD) TV in Africa takes another giant step forward this month (from Wednesday March 24) as DStv launches three brand new channels on its DStv Premium service. Alongside the recently launched entertainment channel M-Net HD, audiences can now tune in for SuperSport HD, Discovery HD Showcase and iConcerts HD.
Available to DStv Premium subscribers who have an HD ready television and who access their DStv services through the technologically advanced HD PVR (Personal Video Recorder), the four channels symbolize DStv’s fast start when it comes to providing multiple HD channels to its subscribers.
Commenting on the new HD channel launches, MultiChoice Africa President Collins Khumalo is confident in the role DStv will play in offering diversified viewing options for its African consumers.
“As an African business which has long looked to the future for innovation, we’re confident that by offering these HD channels to our consumers we are bringing that future right into their homes. In a world constantly evolving, it’s our aim to remain at the forefront of technological advancements so that our customers remain at the forefront of global changes.”
He goes on to say, “High Definition television, with its crystal clear clarity offering a remarkable visual experience, is a new and much in demand product. We are therefore extremely happy to have been able to secure and offer these channels to our DStv subscribers.”
And there’s good news ahead for DStv Premium subscribers…with the impending launch of SuperSport High Definition (DStv channel 171) this week, these viewers across the continent will be able to watch the 2010 World Cup in High Definition.
Offering sharper television pictures than ever before, HD is the ultimate way to watch sport; an unparalleled experience for the TV sports viewer.
