Following the implementation of the Channel Shuffle 6 months ago, MultiChoice says it has taken note of feedback from customers and “has made further improvements to its DStv’s channel numbering and grouping.”<\/p>\n
The latest changes will be implemented on 1 May 2008 and include the ‘refinement of Movies, General Entertainment as well as the News and Commerce genres’. All other genres will remain in their current position. <\/p>\n
Movies and General Entertainment will be merged into one category with the channel numbers still starting at 100. <\/p>\n
M-Net stays in the same position at 101 but will now be followed by MM1, MM2 and M-Net Stars appearing in the channel numbers 103, 104 and 105 respectively<\/p>\n
According to Multichoice one of the recommendations from their subscribers was to number their key genres in a manner that is easier to remember, “such as in multiples of 100 eg: Movies and General Entertainment: 100’s, Sport : 200’s, Kids : 300’s and News :400’s.”<\/p>\n
As a result, News and Commerce channels will be moved from 280 to 400. This means that BBC World will be changed to 400, CNN 401, Sky News 402 and so forth.<\/p>\n
Multichoice believes that these changes will provide our subscribers with enhanced navigation and seamless channel surfing, which will have a positive impact on the overall viewing experience.<\/p>\n
More information on the changes will appear in the May issue of Dish magazine and can also be found on the website at www.dstv.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n Multichoice further advises DStv viewers who experiences problems to reboot\/rescan their decoders.<\/p>\n
