When Openview becomes cheaper than DStv EasyView and DStv Access

[Jan]

DStv versus Openview — channel and price comparison

While MultiChoice's DStv is the dominant pay-TV broadcaster in South Africa, its EasyView package faces competition from eMedia's Openview offering, and the latter is more affordable over time than DStv's entry-level packages.

MyBroadband compared the cost of paying Openview's once-off decoder and installation price to installing a DStv decoder and paying the monthly subscription fees.

Regarding satellite Openview is great for free viewing, and so are Pluto TV, The Roku Channel, Plex, etc. regarding free streaming with the right free VPN on Android TV.

Openview is a great backup.

Rather watch endless repeats for free on Openview than pay for endless repeats on DStv.
