*DStv Under Siege From Streaming Services* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?pr South African pay-TV broadcaster Digital Satellite Television (DStv)’s dominance for three decades is under threat from international streaming services and local competitors like Openview and PremiumFree. DStv faced some competition from another pay-TV service, TopTV — now called StarSat — which was launched in 2010, but it hardly had any effect on MultiChoice’s monopoly. ---------- *Latest itel S24 now available on Pindula* $124 Cash on Delivery in Harare & Bulawayo. WhatsApp: 0️⃣7️⃣8️⃣3️⃣ 4️⃣5️⃣0️⃣ 7️⃣9️⃣3️⃣ ---------- Now there are new competitors which MultiChoice is rightly worried about. These are not licensed pay-TV broadcasters, but rather international streaming services that are taking advantage of fast and affordable broadband. Millions of South Africans have literally dumped DStv for Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and other streaming video platforms which offer excellent services at a fraction of the price of DStv Premium. While DStv’s forte is exclusive sports content, some people are more interested in movies and TV series than sport, and this is where streaming services shine. Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+, YouTube Premium and other services have enjoyed strong adoption in South Africa. Meanwhile, sports lovers can also subscribe to a growing number of sports streaming services, like F1TV Pro, UFC Fight Pass, Tennis TV, and WWE Network. Local (South African) streaming services, like TelkomONE and Vodacom Video Play, provide further competition to MultiChoice’s ShowMax and DStv Now offerings. MultiChoice’s response to these threats will shape what DStv’s products look like in future and how subscribers will consume content on the platform. *More: My Broadband* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
