DStv<\/a> has officially launched an online version of its BoxOffice movie rental service, which is also available to non subscribers in South Africa.<\/p>\n

BoxOffice Online offers a selection of new movie releases and classics that customers can rent and stream directly from the BoxOffice website, or rent and download via the DStv Desktop Player app.<\/p>\n

According to Multichoice<\/a>, no DStv subscription is required to access the service. Customers need only sign up for a BoxOffice Account, which will enable them to use any number of payment methods available to rent and watch movies online or via the DStv Desktop Player.<\/p>\n

BoxOffice Online works in a similar fashion to the service on PVRs, giving customers a selection of movies that they can rent and watch as many times as they like for a 48 hours period. Once the rental period is up, the movie expires.<\/p>\n

In reporting its interim results ending September 2012, in November, Naspers noted that DStv’s BoxOffice service reached monthly movie rentals of 400,000. In South Africa, Multichoice added 187,000 subscribers to a total of 4.2 million households.<\/p>\n

Multichoice said that as the service grows, customers can expect the catalogue to expand as new movies are added each week.<\/p>\n

Rental prices range from R30 for new releases to R10 for classics.<\/p>\n

Downloads via the DStv Desktop Player and streaming movies on the BoxOffice website are both compatible with most PCs and MACs.<\/p>\n
