[sybawoods]

A few months ago, there was news that this would be coming within months. Anyone have an update on this?

Nope not yet, a new Explora will be launched in time for Black Friday. Its supposed to be available when the new decoder is launched.

4K everywhere else in the world is delivered by fibre. Insufficient bandwith via satellite. Friends in UK have it. 3 channels so far I think

Except DSTV Now doesn't use satellite...

Source? DSTV 4K? Mybb would be all over that with a MASSIVE story

Interesting, if true. Could be that a new decoder is launched that enables viewing of downloaded content in 4K (i.e. catchup, Box Office etc), vs "live" 4k content via satellite, which would be onerous.

Did you read the article? How does this relate to the OP's question?

Not enough AFFORDABLE bandwidth via satellite.

Very different.

Jip that's it, no display and no RF out. Monochoice making them cheaper and cheaper. Supposedly going for R699 for the decoder on BF for those still trapped in the Multichoice web.

:crylaugh: I see Hificorp can't even get the decoder's name correct.

Lol! So will the decoder itself be capable of outputting 4k, or will the 4k streaming announcement simply be linked to the release of the decoder?
