MultiChoice adds YouTube feature to high-end DStv Explora PVR
The MultiChoice Group has announced the addition of YouTube to its high-end DStv Explora Ultra personal video recorder (PVR) decoder.
The addition of the Google-owned feature to the platform follows the launch of the Explora Ultra which offers its own DStv and Showmax streaming services.
According to MultiChoice, the new PVR allows viewers to play YouTube videos from another device like a smartphone directly onto the TV without first pairing the devices. This makes it easier to watch shared or archived content from a secondary device of choice.
“All that is required to view YouTube content via the decoder is an active DStv subscription, access fee and a high-speed and stable Internet connection. There is no separate subscription required — customers can easily view YouTube as they would on any other Internet-connected device,” the Company stated.
MultiChoice South Africa CEO Nyiko Shiburi said: “The addition of YouTube to the Explora Ultra builds on DStv’s ambition to be a one-stop video entertainment hub, giving our customers more convenience and choice to access local and international content on a single device.”
In addition, MultiChoice disclosed that it has launched its own channel on YouTube named “Oh Snack!”. The new channel will offer a weekly “what to watch” guide. It will be available from June.
