After TV with Thinus broke the news yesterday that Vodacom's DStv Select pay TV offering will now be managed by MultiChoice after Vodacom started the service just over 3 years ago, MultiChoice has responded to media enquiries made, saying that ''MultiChoice and Vodacom have agreed that the DStv Select service will be managed by MultiChoice only'' because this ''this enables the company to provide a streamlined service to its subscribers.''
Vodacom launched DStv Select - consisting of two cheaper pay TV bouquets, DStv Select 1 and DStv Select 2 - in June 2007 through an exclusive pay TV agency agreement between Vodacom and MultiChoice.
Vodacom has been offering the sell-through DStv Select and DStv Select bouquets costing R157 per month, but after three years, DStv Select 1 and DStv Select 2 will now be directly administated by MultiChoice.
Exactly as I've told you yesterday, MultiChoice says the billing of all DStv Select accounts will now be managed by MultiChoice.
DStv Select subscribers will receive their DStv Select statements directly from MultiChoice and DStv Select subscribers need to change their debit order instructions from Vodacom to MultiChoice as soon as possible. ''We urge customers to update their payment details with MultiChoice by 1 November to avoid having their DStv Select services discontinued,'' says MultiChoice.
