Wanting to get into streaming TV and wondering how much it’ll cost you in South African rands? Here’s a breakdown.
DStv customers are able to stream Showmax directly to internet-connected Exploras, directly to the TV. All you need is a Showmax subscription, an active DStv subscription and internet.
If you are a DStv subscriber without a Showmax subscription, sign up here.
Go to www.showmax.com/dstv and follow the steps. DStv Premium subscribers get Showmax at no cost and DStv Compact and Compact Plus subscribers pay R49 a month.
DStv Compact and Compact Plus customers qualify for a 50% Showmax discount, whereas DStv customers on Family, Access and Easyview have the option to add Showmax to their DStv bill, but pay the standard Showmax price.
Once you’ve activated Showmax on the DStv Self Service website, you’ll receive confirmation that you’ve been successful. Then you’ll be redirected to the Showmax website to sign up or sign in and start watching.
The major advantage is that you can watch all the series, movies, kids’ shows and documentaries on your big-screen TV. No new tech required. But do take note that some of the Showmax features available on other devices are not supported on the DStv Explora.
Stream content in either SD or HD resolution on your Explora. SD content is 576i (633MB per hour) while HD content is 1080i (2.2GB per hour).
