Yikes...

 

[LCBXX]

Wow that's expensive...

 

[ToxicBunny]

Nein! That are too expensive.

 

[xcaliber]

So are normal Dstv channels 4k?

 

[system32]

The DStv Explora Ultra has a recommended retail price of R2,499 for the standalone device and R3,699 including installation.

Is that the "Black Friday" special discount, extra low, never to be repeated, once in a lifetime, buy now yours for only R2,499 price?

Seems expensive.

The hell? the cost of this devices is similar to the Apple TV 4K?

I am almost certain that the Apple TV has a way better CPU, stable software and better support compared to this Explora.

It would also support all the decent streaming services and not just Showmax and Netflix...

[Vorastra]

lmao, who is this product even for.
I'd love to know how they, if at all, did their market research.

 

[mister]

OMGGGGGG, I must have this! NOW!

So all MC did with their "partnership" was allow you to use one box for both?
Will netflix work on the explora if you don't have a Multichoice sub?

No discount on the netflix sub?
Then no thanks, there are dedicated netflix boxes that offer more than a multichoice decoder.

I would consider this decoder if the sports channels were 4k.

That we would get that lucky ...

Looks a great piece of kit but happy with all my streaming services (50 meg line) on Xiaomi s box - just waiting for the streaming-only service from Dstv to be launched - then I will be be in geek heaven

 

[Mawirepower]

Something tells me this thing will not even support DSTV Now (Or whatever they call it now)!
