DSTV Explora Price in Zambia

The landscape of cable television in Zambia has undergone a remarkable transformation. Just when we thought we had seen it all, Multichoice catapulted us into a whole new realm of cable TV experience with the launch of DSTV Explora. Having already established themselves as the leading cable TV brand in Zambia, the introduction of DSTV Explora only solidifies Multichoice’s position among the greatest cable TVs of all time. Despite the market dominance of the basic DSTV decoder, the company only had their own records to beat with the Explora decoder.

DSTV Explora: A New Level of Entertainment

DSTV Explora pushes the boundaries of what’s possible with cable TVs. With the ability to easily record programs, catch up with missed shows, football matches, movies, music videos, and other events with just a single click, the Explora decoder ensures you never have to worry about missing a live event or your favorite programs, both locally and internationally. While the number of channels, packages, and programs remains the same as the basic decoder, the Explora decoder stands out in terms of features, flexibility, and other technical properties. While the basic DSTV decoder opens up a world of entertainment, DSTV Explora takes the experience to an unprecedented level.

DSTV: The Market Leader in Africa

DSTV undoubtedly boasts the largest customer base in Africa when it comes to cable TVs and offers one of the highest numbers of channels. The market has warmly received the DSTV Explora decoder, and although it is not the most popular DSTV decoder out there, it remains among the high-class cable TVs in Zambia. The unique features include catch up, program recording, HD viewing, and more.

Prices of DSTV Explora in Zambia

Multichoice is arguably the most popular cable TV brand in Africa. They are one of the best and, based on their channels, will rule the cable TV industry for years to come. Just like for basic decoders, packages are available in different plans and at varying prices. The major difference between these plans is the number of channels you have access to.

• DSTV Explora (without Installation): KW66, 000 – KW68, 000
• DSTV Explora (with installation): KW68, 000 – KW80,000

The variation in prices is due to factors such as the place and period of purchase. The installation charge usually varies between KW5, 000 – KW10, 000. One downside of DSTV Explora is the installation. It typically requires a specialist to install the dish in the perfect way to face where the signal is stronger.
