DStv has added Amazon Prime Video to its recently launched Explora Ultra set-top box, the company announced in a statement.
DStv customers with a Prime Video membership can now access the entertainment service, from movies and TV series, including Amazon Originals, with a click of a button on Explore Ultra.
Prime Video joins a growing list of streaming services and apps available on Explora Ultra, including Showmax, Box Office, Netflix, and Joox.
“Explora Ultra is a one-stop shop for entertainment fans looking to access a dynamic entertainment catalog from multiple content providers,” said Nyiko Shiburi, CEO of MultiChoice South Africa.
“We are excited to add Amazon Prime Video to the exceptional content on DStv Explora Ultra.”
“This opportunity unlocks access to higher quality global content for our customers and is another way to access Amazon Prime Video content, while complementing DStv’s promise to offer the best in local content,” said Shiburi.
Amazon Prime Video’s list of shows includes The Wilds, Homecoming, The Boys, The Marvelous Mrs Maisel, Hanna, and Upload.
How to use Prime Video on DStv Explora Ultra
Existing Amazon Prime Video customers who already have a Prime Video subscription can log into their account on the Explore Ultra home page to start viewing their content.
This works the same way it would on a smart TV or set-top box.
Customers wishing to access Prime Video can open the app on the Explora Ultra home page and will be prompted to sign up for an account on the Amazon site.
Amazon will bill these users directly for their subscription.
DStv Explora Ultra is MultiChoice’s latest set-top box, supporting both a traditional satellite TV setup and set-top box-like applications for multiple streaming services.
The new set-top box has a recommended retail price of R $ 499 for the standalone device and R $ 3,699, including installation, and is available to purchase at participating retailers or online.
