Update: the channels will close 31 March 2024 and for an updated statement: click here   Earlier in the month, MultiChoice would have removed both 1Magic and Me from the DStv platform . Following their release from possible execution, 1Magic became a Showmax repeats channel moving further exclusive content like Champions to Mzansi Magic.

MultiChoice South Africa has announced its price adjustments for 2024, with increases higher than in recent years – although the broadcaster said the adjustments are “fair” given the added value on offer. CEO Marc Jury told the media in an interview on Monday that the company is also guaranteeing that customers won’t pay more than they are now for the next 24 months – provided they agree to be locked into a contract for that period. There are no additional fees, such as the decoder access fee, but only for those who elect to sign the 24-month agreement. For those not taking advantage of the “price lock”, the annual price increases, which take effect on 1 April, are: • DStv Premium: R929 (5.7% increase, from R879 previously) • DStv Compact Plus: R619 (4.5% increase, from R579 previously) • DStv Compact: R469 (4.5% increase, from R449 previously) • DStv Family: R329 (3.1% increase, from R319 previously) • DStv Access: R139 (7.8% increase, from R129 previously) • DStv EasyView

The pilot episode begins with an elderly couple, the proto-Eustace and the proto-Muriel Bagge, who live on a farm and own a pink beagle dog named Courage. The family are spending an idyllic morning together, when the proto-Courage becomes frightened by a small mouse; this prompts Eustace to angrily scare him further by use of a voodoo mask. Courage moves outside to the porch, and watches as a UFO descends from the skies. An extraterrestrial species of fowl emerges from this UFO. Courage runs back inside the farmhouse to alert his owners of the danger; however, when they follow Courage into the yard, the saucer has disappeared, along with the alien chicken. Eustace angrily proceeds to scare Courage once more, causing Muriel to angrily strike him with a rolling pin as punishment. Courage makes his way out to the hen house, where he discovers the Space Chicken dispatching the hens Eustace and Muriel tend to. Courage quickly runs back to the house to alert Eustace and Muriel to the presenc
