MultiChoice Adds ShowMax To DStv Explora For Premium Subscribers

MultiChoice will be rewarding all active DStv Premium customers in Nigeria and Kenya by giving access to ShowMax on their DStv Explora with no extra cost. 

DStv Customers with internet-connected DStv Explora will now be able to access ShowMax, a subscription video on demand service which offers the biggest library of box sets of the best international and local TV series in Africa.

While DStv offers the freshest local and international content directly from Hollywood, as well as alive sport and news, through live television and DStv Catch Up; ShowMax offers complete box sets of previous seasons of series so customers can watch from the very first episode.

CEO of MultiChoice Nigeria, John Ugbe said: “With the festive season upon us, we wanted to share in the festivities by giving access to our valued DStv Premium customers access to an even wider world of video entertainment through ShowMax on their Exploras at no extra charge.”

The DStv Explora will now offer a richly varied and comprehensive video-on-demand experience, comprising of a movie-rental service through DStv BoxOffice, which offers the freshest blockbuster movies; an extensive Catch Up service (further enhanced when the Explora is connected to the internet); and a library of box sets from the ShowMax service.

This gives DStv customers the freedom to watch what they want, when they are ready.

“Since the launch of ShowMax online, we have seen a growing demand for the service, now we are bringing it to our DStv Exploras, to give families a time to gather together and enjoy the best entertainment this festive season,” added Ugbe.

Some movies available on ShowMax include Robin Hood, The Croods, Now You See Me and Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Cradle of Life
