Naspers announced in late June 2011 that MultiChoice is getting ready to launch their DStv Video on Demand service<\/a>, also known as DStv BoxOffice.<\/p>\n

The new DStv BoxOffice service will allow users to pay for access to movies which will automatically be downloaded to their PVRs.<\/p>\n

MultiChoice will use their standard satellite bandwidth to push movies to DStv subscribers\u2019 PVRs \u2013 essentially bypassing the need for fast and affordable broadband connectivity to make the service work.<\/p>\n

New terms and conditions for MultiChoice\u2019s DStv service revealed that DStv BoxOffice<\/a> will allow subscribers to rent movies for a period and price yet to be announced, and watch them as many times as they wish during that period.<\/p>\n
