From the 1st November 2017, MultiChoice offers a new version DStv HD single-view decoder. The new DStv is not only smaller in size, but also boasts an embedded Smartcard. This saves the hassle of having to carry around an extra small item that could be lost easily.
The DStv HD Decoder 5-series decoder also comes with a brand new B6 remote controller. DStv has made its new B6 control have the ability to program up to five buttons that will enable you to control your Television set and your home theatre system.
This decoder lacks an RF out socket which is not a problem for new TVs with HDMI or RCA connections but will require an additional RF converter in order to work with older TVs lacking these connections.
Multichoice DStv has recommended users to upgrade to the newer Smart LNB, this will enable users to make use of the new features that DStv has to offer. If you need to upgrade your LNB to the Smart LNB contact TV + Video Doctor!
