DStv has started selling its Explora decoder directly for R99 per month over 24 months, CEO of DStv Mobile Mark Rayner told journalists on Wednesday, 8 October 2014.<\/p>\n

This comes to R2,376 paid in total over the two year period. Bought cash, the Explora currently costs around R2,000.<\/p>\n

Rayner said that previously, and not formally announced, the group had used an external call centre to offer the decoder on a repayment plan over a two-year period.<\/p>\n

According to reports, the previous deal was R149 per month for 24 months.<\/p>\n

Rayner said that MultiChoice was always looking at ways to bring down the cost of its decoders, but at a retail price of R1,999 the Explora was already heavily subsidised as it costs about R4,000 to make.<\/p>\n

He added that the R99 offer \u201cis starting to take off nicely,\u201d and noted that the company sees a big spike in sales whenever the group is able to reduce its decoder prices.<\/p>\n
