Showmax has announced the launch of Max Data Saving mode which promises to consume only 50 megabytes (MB) per hour.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is currently available within the iOS mobile version of the Showmax app and will be rolled out to Android app users soon,\u201d the streaming service.<\/p>\n
Max Data Saving mode complements Showmax\u2019s existing data saver options.<\/p>\n
Low data mode uses up to 300 MB per hour, and Data Saving mode uses up to 100 MB per hour.<\/p>\n
In comparison, the Maximum Quality setting, which gives you the best possible picture, uses up to 1.4 GB per hour.<\/p>\n
\u201cShowmax is designed for Africa: a mobile-first continent where the cost of data remains a barrier to streaming,\u201d said MultiChoice Connected Video chief operating officer Barry Dubovsky.<\/p>\n
\u201cShowmax was the first streaming service in Africa to make mobile downloads possible for offline viewing and the first to launch a mobile-only plan, so we want to keep tailor-making Showmax for African realities.\u201d<\/p>\n
MultiChoice has introduced a new level of data saving mode for Showmax.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":442568,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[475,32140],"class_list":["post-442566","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-broadcasting","tag-multichoice","tag-showmax"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/442566"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/23"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=442566"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/442566\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/442568"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=442566"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=442566"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=442566"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/a><\/p>\n
