A lot has changed since the first DStv Explore launched seven years ago, it’s not just a satellite decoder anymore.
The future is here and it’s in the shape of the new Explora Ultra. An exciting new addition to the world of television, their partnership with Netflix is something to write home about.
The new generation of decoder promises an advanced viewing experience and the best in local and international content from both DStv and Showmax.
In addition to this, streaming giant Netflix will be available to consumers too for the first time through DStv. This gives the Explora Ultra decoder an entirely different edge.
The Netflix app will be integrated with the new Explora Ultra. This will allow consumers to sign into their existing Netflix account or to seamlessly sign up with the service.
The partnership also grants DStv customers with an Explora Ultra the possibility of adding their Netflix subscription to their monthly DStv bill.
