MultiChoice mum on Netflix coming to SA

While other broadcasters and VOD providers have weighed in, MultiChoice has elected to remain silent on the news that Netflix has plans to expand to South Africa

Yup, they will be mum now but wait till it happens (if it will ever happen) then they will sing their tune.

Must be a technical problem on their side

Is this not the reason DSTV is pushing the Explorer with a 2 year contract?

If you run the numbers, you'll find that the potential Netflix market here isn't enough to get multichoice worried for years. it's a few percent at best. They have no need to panic and feed the 24-hour news cycle.

If I'm not mistaken, netflix seems to be cached on the Akamai edge @ MWEB!

 

[Quest10n]

The one that was close to me is no longer and they use to be very popular.

As long as I can't get a decent ADSL sync rate in my area I will use the on demand features of the Explora to the fullest. MC just need to do away with those expiry dates they have on their content I'd be happy.

 

[LazyLion]

So this was MC's answer?...

 

[blunt]

multichoice too busy getting their lawyers together to sue the fck out of netflix for something or other.
