Get your vuvuzelas ready, put on your favourite team’s jersey and get into the World Cup spirit with DStv 4K.
With soccer fans eagerly awaiting the World Cup kickoff in Qatar on November 20, DStv has come to the party to heighten the excitement levels by watching matches in ultra-high definition with DStv 4K.
This new offering from the subscription platform gives viewers an opportunity to watch all 64 matches of the 2022 Fifa World Cup, in a way that makes it feel like they are witnessing all the live action from the stadium itself.
Most 4K devices have around eight million pixels, meaning every moment of every match will be displayed in brilliant detail.
Viewers who watch via their decoders will require an Explora Ultra, a 4K television (connected with the HDMI supplied with the decoder) and either a Premium, Compact Plus or Compact subscription.
And fans who stream the tournament, either via Showmax Pro or DStv, will also be able to do so in 4K, provided they have a 4K television (or 4K-supporting media or TV box), and either a Premium, Compact Plus or Compact subscription. Customers who stream in 4K can adjust video quality to manage data usage.
The pairing of 4K picture and the DStv Streama is an exciting one, meaning that football fans can enjoy all 64 games in 4K quality without a satellite dish and installation, for the first time ever. The DStv Streama is a TV streaming box that delivers content from DStv and a variety of other apps such as Showmax, Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, YouTube and YouTube kids to a compatible TV, via a fast, stable internet connection.
DStv customers are now able to access that connectivity with the company too, via DStv Internet, which offers uncapped, unshaped fibre connectivity to maximise the features of the Explora and Explora Ultra, enable the Streama - and connect users to the world.
