ShowMax’s streaming video service is now available on the DStv Explora decoder, and will soon be heading to South African gaming consoles.

The service will be available in a phased roll-out starting 13 June for the DStv Explora decoder, following its release on Apple TV, AirPlay, and Chromecast.

“For Explora owners this is a risk-free proposition – binge entire box sets from the very beginning without having to buy any new equipment,” said Barron Ernst, Chief Product Officer of ShowMax.

“We’re already busy on the next phase which is developing apps for additional streaming media devices as well as gaming consoles. Our goal is to provide a great viewing experience no matter what you’re watching ShowMax on,” concludes Ernst.

To access ShowMax on an Explora, the decoder needs to be connected to the Internet.

A ShowMax subscription is needed to access the service. Existing ShowMax customers can log in using their email address and password.

New customers will need to sign up for ShowMax via its website.

Customers paying for DStv via debit order will be able to pay for ShowMax through their DStv account.
