enjoy even more entertainment. We exceeded
our targets for connected Exploras, which give
our customers access to an expanded library of
the latest content, including the newly launched
1 000 movies on the M-Net Movie Collection.
Our popular BoxOf ce service has expanded
to include up to 30 movies and now features
Bollywood movies. Customers on all
DStv packages with a personal video recorder
(PVR) or Explora decoder can use this movie
rental service.
More DStv customers are using the DStv Now
on-the-go service that is now available to all
Premium customers. We have enhanced DStv
Now with more than 60 channels available to
stream. The same expanded library of content
that is available on DStv Catch Up Plus, is also
accessible through the DStv Catch Up section
of DStv Now, including the 1 000 movies from
the M-Net Movies Collection.
Showmax continues to make progress in the
subscription video-on-demand market and we
will continue to ensure we have a broad library
of great content, available across platforms
relevant to our customers.
The group continues to provide content that
resonates with customers across our packages.
M-Net remains focused on producing and
acquiring the most compelling local and
international programming. By commissioning
local content, we are building an African library
that can be used in perpetuity on all group-
owned platforms. To reduce the customers’
perception of repeats, we have consolidated
M-Net general entertainment and movie
channels, and stopped airing non-performing
channels with high repeats. Investing in local
content across all our territories remains a focus.
