Vodacom’s DSTV Select which was launched earlier this year at a price of R 139-00 per month, has added six more channels to its initial bouquet of 16 channels. <\/p>\n
The new channels are Al Jazeera, Magic World, TBN, Rhema, Mindset Learn and Soweto TV.<\/p>\n
The Vodacom DSTV Select Bouquet now consists of a selection of 23 channels, 28 radio stations, 4 DMX Music Channels, shopping channels and interactive services.<\/p>\n
DSTV Select subscribers still have to choose between either Kyknet or MNet Series & Hallmark as part of their bouquet.<\/p>\n
EasyView DSTV<\/strong><\/p>\n Multichoice has also recently enhanced their R 20-00 per month, lower tier DSTV EasyView bouquet which now boasts 10 video channels, 5 data channels and 28 radio stations. It was originally launched in 2002 with only four channels.<\/p>\n The EasyView service includes SABC1, SABC2, SABC 3, eTV, Soweto TV, Magic World, Al Jazeera, CNBC Africa, the Parliamentary Channel and IQRAA.<\/p>\n The data channels include Weather 24, News24, PlayJam and dedicated advertising locations or DAL’s. Some of the radio stations include Yfm, 702 Talk Radio, Kaya FM and BBC World.<\/p>\n Stronger foothold in the market<\/strong><\/p>\n Many of the newly licensed pay-TV operators have indicated that they will be targeting the emerging middle class with low cost offerings, generally in the region of R 100-00 per month.<\/p>\n Multichoice seems well aware of this strategy and is making certain that they use the last few months of their monopoly to entrench themselves in the market. <\/p>\n Apart from aggressively marketing and enhancing their lower end offerings, they have also launched a free Web-TV service for their high end customers and have indicated that they will also launch an HDTV service in 2008.<\/p>\n New Channel Selection<\/strong><\/p>\n The following table lists the latest DSTV Select Channel selection:<\/p>\n Channels:<\/strong> DMX music channels: Channels:<\/strong>\n\n
