MultiChoice and Discovery Networks International for Africa are upgrading three more of Discovery's TV channels seen in South Africa and across Africa on the DStv platform from standard definition (SD) to high definition (HD) channels from Monday 21 May.
The upgrade means that all of Discovery's channels portfolio available in South Africa will now be shown in HD.
TLC (DStv 135), Discovery Family (DStv 121) and Investigation Discovery (ID) (DStv 171) will all broadcast in HD from 21 May, joining the Discovery Channel (DStv 120) that is already in HD.
"At Discovery we are constantly seeking ways to enable our passionate audiences to explore their world and unlock new experiences," says
Amanda Turnbull, the vice president and general manager for Discovery for the Africa and Middle East region, in a statement.
"With our entire DStv portfolio available in HD, Discovery fans can now catch their most loved shows in the best quality."
After MultiChoice's
abrupt removal of Discovery's Animal Planet channel with very little advance warning to DStv subscribers at the end of 2017 that was poorly communicated and infuriated and confused viewers, Discovery will be adding a new channel to DStv in mid-2018.
