ID Xtra Showcases The Best Mystery And Crime Documentaries In November 2016

Interrogation Room
From Thursday 3 November at 20:10 Take a glimpse behind the scenes of America's interrogation rooms to see how the most strong-willed detectives are able to get cold-blooded killers to confess their deepest, darkest crime. Every day, murder suspects and investigators meet face-to-face in the police interrogation room. It’s where investigators separate truth from lies, the innocent from the guilty. Each episode of this crime series uses actual interrogation footage that captured the killer's emotions, behaviours and ultimate bloody confession. Every move and mannerism is analysed as the homicide detectives work for the victim to find the truth and pressure the suspect to come clean.

Las Vegas Law
From Tuesday 22 November at 21:00
In a city where nearly everything is a gamble, the Clark County District Attorney's Office is as close to a sure thing as it gets. Led by district attorney Steven Wolfson, his diverse and dedicated team of prosecutors pursue justice for the millions of people who live and visit Sin City. Shot in real time, with unprecedented access and unfiltered emotions, ‘Las Vegas Law’ features high-profile murder, celebrities gone wild, human trafficking, violent gangs, heartbreaking child endangerment cases and elaborate fraud schemes. With real surveillance footage, crime scene photos and police interrogation video never released before, this brand new series tells compelling crime stories from start to finish, in a way never seen before. Despite what you’ve heard, the message is clear - what happens in Vegas, ends up in their courtrooms.

Killer Instinct with Chris Hansen
From Monday 14 November at 21:00 Award-winning investigative presenter Chris Hansen brings his unrivalled journalistic skills and criminal insight to a ground-breaking new series revealing some of America's most shocking murders. Through extraordinary access to key witnesses, survivors, neighbours and law enforcers, Hansen's trademark excellence in getting subjects to open up will guide the viewer through every twist and turn of an enthralling, unfolding criminal drama. He pieces together the parts of a criminal jigsaw by visiting the scene of the crime and uncovering never- before-seen archive material. Through journalistic rigour and psychological expertise, ‘Killer Instinct with Chris Hansen’ reaches deep into the depths of the criminal killer's mind, bringing vividly alive the chilling stories that have warped the ordinary towns and cities of everyday America.

Six Degrees Of Murder
From Thursday 10 November at 21:00
Whether separated by one degree or six, all seven billion people on the planet are connected by some combination of blood, or money, or love. But every once in a while, some of the most sprawling and unlikely networks of people are linked together by a single shocking event - murder. This series recounts the story of murder investigations that required law enforcement to untangle a complicated web of relationships in order to uncover the truth. Cases in this compelling series include the discovery of a body rolled up in a rug at an architect’s apartment – and how it sparked a hunt for the serial killer who murdered fashion designer Gianni Versace. The investigation into 26-year-old Kim Medlin's mysterious disappearance reveals secrets that shatter the safety of everyone in a tight knight town. How do the investigators join the dots and uncover those ultimately fatal connections?

Multichoice Adds More HD Channels, Streamlines Channels And Launches New DStv Explora

MultiChoice is on a drive to offer their customers an ever-evolving and enhanced DStv experience. At a media briefing, held today at their Randburg offices, CEO Mark Rayner said, ‘We’re making additional channels available in HD, streamlining packages to deliver more fresh entertainment daily and extending our Catch Up Plus catalogue to over 1000 movies. We’re actively managing the DStv service to ensure our customers get the most value for money.’

Satellite launch

On 24 August, MultiChoice launched a new satellite, IS36, which will provide additional capacity. This means MultiChoice can start offering additional services. The new satellite will also act as a back-up to the existing IS20 satellite.

DStv channel changes

During the month of October and November, certain DStv packages will undergo changes and customers will get more channels in crystal clear HD. It’s all part of a process aimed at refining channel offerings based on customer feedback and viewing behaviour.

9 DStv channels will change to HD
These will include some of the best loved M-Net channels such as M-Net Movies All Stars, M-Net Family, VUZU, Mzansi Wethu and kykNET & Kie as well as certain international favourites such as BBC First, HISTORY, Crime & Investigation and Food Network.

More channels will be added to other DStv packages
Extra customers will get ITV Choice HD and Lifetime, Family customers will pick up M-Net Movies All-Stars HD, while EasyView customers will receive Jim Jam and Mzansi Music.
Extra customers will also be able to enjoy the specialist language channels: RAI, BVN, RTPI, TV5 Monde and Deutsche Welle.

The following channels will stop airing from end of October: CBS Action and Drama, AMC and True Movies.

General Manager for Content, Aletta Alberts, explained the rationale behind these changes. ‘Our focus is to bring our customers the best entertainment possible. We do research every month to understand what they’re watching and what they’d like to watch. This research helped us identify some channels that weren’t popular or that had the same content as other existing channels.

‘We also use this research to understand what we can do to improve the channels we have. This year alone, we’ve enhanced the offering on a number of channels - M-Net Movie Channels, M-Net City and M-Net Family, ITV Choice, FOX Entertainment, VIA, Discovery Family and Discovery IDx to name but a few. This means our customers will be seeing fresher content on a more regular basis.’

New DStv Explora launched

Our flagship Explora decoder has significantly enhanced the viewing experience for our customers. In a world where connected television services are becoming more commonplace, the Explora enables customers to connect their decoders and get access to an extended catalogue of content on Catch Up Plus and ShowMax.

We want to give more of our customers the Explora experience without having to worry about expensive data costs. So we created a decoder with the same features and services as our current Explora, with a streamlined hard drive to keep it affordable.

Nyiko Shiburi, Group General Manager for Broadcast Technology, said ‘Our new Explora uses the latest video compression technology, which means our customers will in future spend less on data when they connect their new Explora to the internet.’

The new Explora has the same extensive Catch Up service, the ability to rent up to 30 BoxOffice movies and internet connectivity for Catch Up Plus, Remote Recording and ShowMax. This extensive content catalogue means our customers are recording less on their Exploras, which is why we’ve made the hard drive smaller to keep the decoder affordable. Customers can record up to 80 hours of HD content on their personal playlist (current Explora has 150 hours of HD recordings).

‘We believe the sheer volume of content available on our Catch Up, Catch Up Plus and ShowMax services, offers our customers an unparalleled entertainment experience. And the streamlined version means we can continue to offer all our customers the chance to own an Explora at an affordable price, despite our weakened Rand,’ continued Nyiko.

The new Explora gets a new A7 remote control, which incorporates features that customers have asked for. These include backlit buttons, which enables users to see it in the dark, the ability to easily program it as a universal remote for your TV and music system, and a ShowMax button for one-touch access.

Nyiko confirmed, ‘The Explora is our flagship decoder and we’ll continue to enhance it with further developments for many years to come.’

The new DStv Explora will retail at R1499 and this price will be fixed until the end of 2017.

Repeats
Wednesday, at 22:00 CAT
From executive producers Dan Fogelman (Cars, Crazy, Stupid, Love) and Rick Singer (Younger), PITCH is the dramatic and inspirational story of a young pitcher who becomes the first woman to play Major League Baseball. A beautiful, tough and gifted athlete, Ginny Baker (Kylie Bunbury, Under the Dome) is vaulted into instant fame when she’s called up by the San Diego Padres to make her Major League debut.
Like any rookie, Ginny must prove herself to her teammates. Foremost among them is Mike Lawson (Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Franklin & Bash, NYPD Blue), the team’s ruggedly handsome star catcher. There’s instant chemistry between them, although neither dares to admit it. After all, Mike is captain of the team and a few of his players don’t even want Ginny on the field. One of the players watching Ginny’s back is centre fielder Blip Sanders (Mo McRae, Sons of Anarchy), an old friend from the minor leagues, and his wife Evelyn (Meagan Holder, You Again, Bring it On: Fight to the Finish).

Guiding her is her agent/confidante, Amelia Slater (Ali Larter, Legends, Heroes). Amelia saw Ginny’s star potential early on and left her previous job as a Hollywood publicist to concentrate on the young phenom, bringing along her young assistant Eliot (Tim Jo, The Neighbors). Although groomed for this moment by her demanding father, Bill Baker (guest star Michael Beach, Sons of Anarchy), the end of Ginny’s improbable journey is the beginning of an almost impossible one: representing her gender as she embarks on a successful baseball career under the glare of the white-hot media spotlight.
The team’s manager, Al Luongo (Dan Lauria, The Wonder Years, Sullivan and Sons) and general manager Oscar Arguella (Mark Consuelos, All My Children) bicker over whether Ginny’s presence on the field is in the team’s best interests.
Playing in the major leagues is a goal hard enough for anyone to achieve – except this player is also a woman, who happens to be the most important historical figure in sports since Jackie Robinson. This season, Ginny Baker will be the other woman trying to break into one of the oldest and most exclusive men’s clubs in the country.
