New Samsung TVs To Have Built-In DSTV Decoders.

So last week, a lot of you were irate that DSTV were going to increase their rates!! Hee, inflation is real guys relax! Okay I’ll stop incensing you.

Samsung have announced a new deal that has left me gobsmacked. DStv decoders shall hitherto be built into Samsung televisions. Say what????
According to HumanIPO, the two companies went ahead to share more tantalizing titbits…. In the 2013 Samsung Africa where they announced this deal, they also stated that MultiChoice’s new digital television service GoTV will be sold in Samsung outlets stores.

“Working with Samsung will significantly increase our continental footprint, giving subscribers easy access to all our products through the cooperation of Samsung dealers and distributors,” said Nico Meyer, CEO of MultiChoice Africa.

This is the partnership arrangement for Samsung South Africa, with HumanIPO reporting the day before, that  the company had signed a deal with operator Vodacom to collaborate on mobile and network infrastructure services for businesses, to provide a more integrated mobile solution portfolio. This however applies to South Africa. Vodacom will provide customised services to Samsung devices, while Samsung will provide Vodacom with an on-site service provision team.

We are waiting with bated breath to see if this will apply to the Kenyan market too. We shall keep our eyes peeled and inform you. Remember DSTV is giving you the chance to win 600,000 K every week until April 5th. Find out more here.
