DStv launches Black Friday deals

MultiChoice-owned DStv has announced its Black Friday deals for 2024, which will see customers receive substantial discounts on DStv hardware and bonus data for new DStv Internet subscribers.

The pay-TV broadcaster’s Black Friday promotion will run until Saturday, 30 November, while stocks last.

“Black Friday is here, and this year DStv is all about giving customers more — more entertainment, more control, and more value,” MultiChoice said in its announcement.

“With exclusive Black Friday deals, customers can upgrade their home entertainment experience and make the most of every moment.”

It noted that its Black Friday deals are ideal for subscribers who need to stream, are looking for a good deal on data, and will enjoy the benefits of having a DStv Explora decoder.

Its hardware deals are as follows:

• DStv Streama — Marked down from R799 to R499.
• HD Decoder — Marked down from R799 to R699.
• DStv Explora 3B — Marked down from R2,499 to R1,699.

DStv notes that the Explora 3B decoder can pause, record, and rewind live TV.

South Africans looking for a good deal on data can sign up for a new DStv Internet contract and get double data for the first three months.

“For die-hard sports fans, movie lovers or those hoping to keep the family entertained over the holidays, these Black Friday deals offer a way to reconnect with favourite content, stay ahead with new features, and make the most of the entertainment streaming on DStv,” said DStv.

Regarding content to look out for, DStv highlighted the launches of Yellowstone’s finale on M-Net, The Matshai Sisterson on Mzansi Magic, and Serengeti II on BBC Earth.

Meanwhile, Sci-Fi fans can look forward to the premiere of HBO’s Dune: Prophecy, while those who prefer reality TV can look forward to Basketball Wives LA on 1Magic.

The pay-TV broadcaster also highlighted the recent enhancements to its DStv Stream platform, including the addition of its 24-hour Watch from Start functionality and Cloud PVR Recordings.

The former enables users to rewind TV by up to 24 hours to catch up on programming they’ve missed, while the Cloud PVR Recordings feature lets users save live content.
