New HD channel for sub-Saharan Africa from Discovery

Discovery Networks Central & Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa (CEEMEA) and MultiChoice have announced a new dedicated high definition feed of Discovery Channel, exclusively for DStv subscribers in South Africa and across Sub-Saharan Africa.

It will launch in Q1 of 2014 and will also be a dedicated feed for DStv - meaning that the channel will be scheduled with all of Africa's favourite programmes and offer advertisers more brand partnership and sponsorship opportunities.

The HD simulcast will remain on Channel 121 on DStv and will replace the current HD Showcase channel. The Showcase content will not be lost to viewers, as this content will be made available exclusively to DStv viewers via the new Explora HD PVR decoder VOD service and Online VOD.
