Here's The Latest Update On E.tv's 4 Channels On Multichoice's DStv From Other Sources

Geoff D - here is your 4 new channels. Is e.tv's adding its additional TV channels on OpenView HD to DStv? Here is what happened and why it looks like a possibility.

Is e.tv's additional TV channels available on Platco Digital's OpenView HD free-to-air satellite being added soon to MultiChoice's DStv satellite pay-TV platform?

A reader reported this and sources asked, after a reader showed how e.tv's website mentioned and added the additional channels packaged by e.tv, as suddenly now also being available on DStv.

Of course e.tv in high definition (HD) is
already available on DStv, and the addition of the other or more channels from e.tv's stable are not that far-fetched an idea.

On Digital Media (ODM) and StarTimes Media South Africa already added and carry the eKasi+ (now rebranded as eExtra) channel on the StarSat satellite pay-TV platform.

Looking up all of the individual e.tv channels with their own websites, they all suddenly listed their OpenView HD (OVHD) channel number, but now also a DStv channel number.

Surprise - the DStv channel numbers listed for the various channels were a perfect fit for open and unused DStv channels within the specific genre number sets:

eToonz+ DStv 311
eMovies+ DStv 138
eMovies Extra DStv 140
eExtra DStv 195

Following a media enquiry, this information has now been removed from the various e.tv channels' webpages on Wednesday.

e.tv gave a feedback stating it was a mistake. But what was the mistake?

Listing the DStv channel numbers, or listing the DStv channel numbers perhaps too early?

Both e.tv and MultiChoice - when asked if e.tv's additional channels packaged for OVHD is being added to DStv - responded by only saying negotiations are ongoing around the carriage agreement for the 24-hour TV news channel eNCA (DStv 403).

eNCA of course is also a channel produced and supplied by e.tv.

The question arises of how e.tv would know these virtually perfect channel numbers to choose and list on DStv without any input from MultiChoice. Is this just co-incidence?

Why would somebody take the time to do that if there was no reason to?

On Wednesday another reader noticed this eToonz+ on DStv in the 1-plate

It's not really that far-fetched a stretch to think that in the renegotiation of the eNCA channel, the other channels from eMedia Investments could be lumped together in a bigger, more comprehensive deal.

It was after all the plan with StarSat which would at one point have had eToonz+ and some of the other channels besides eKasi+ before negotiations between OVHD and StarSat didn't work out.

With its growth in subscribers and declining to viewership due to eAfrica+ and eKasi+ which aburtly shut down and replaced by eNolly and etv Extra (yay).

eToonz+ etv first free-to-air kids channel which runs 18 hours a day seven days a week like Disney XD (from sources) with a range of programs such as Cool Catz, Henry's World, Jelly Jam, Mike the Knight, Spongebob Squarepants, Regal Academy, Johnny Test and many more. Some of which are available on some of Multichoice DStv's Kids channels.

etv Extra is backup channel for local shows such as Rhythm City, Scandal and Gold Diggers, and international shows such as Empire, Broken Angel (Santa Diabla) with 205 live. It is the perfect destination to binge watch all your favourite shows. This is a wise decision now I can catch up with some of the latest shows. International shows can be found on M-Net and FOX with Telemundo formerly being Broken Angel.

eMovies+ is etv first ever movie channel which was like a caterpillar which sprouted into a butterfly. Most of the movies weren't great before then I gave up on the channel but etv managed to up its game which potentially got an additional movie channel, now I'm impressed. Thank You. Some of the latest aren't airing on the Compact movie channels.

eKasi+ and eAfrica+ were my least favourite channels I hardly paid attention to them, its sad to see a channel go but the sooner we accept it the better.

Before I use to watch SABC 1-3, then it became 2 and 3 at the moment now I just browse threw the two for Muvhango, Isidingo and a bit of the movies and international shows. Between SABC and etv I would rather prefer etv because they have this special element that get viewers attention whether its local or international. You can't have 90% local and 10% international/other you've got to keep it at a minimum.

Recommendations
eToonz + should be available on channel 300 since its a free to air kids channel carrying some of shows airing on DStv and eMovies should be on 138 maybe to fill a gap in movie genre due to the loss of several movie channels.

Additional News
Apparently when scrolling through the channels I press option and leave it at all channels and you see MNet+1 and MNTT and as you go further to channel 1001 and onwards you'll see former and future channels on DStv as well as channels that aren't available like eMovies HD, eMovies Extra HD, eToonz+ HD and etv Extra like the other day when I went to channel 100 and I found a commercial for Grojband on Boing (channel which is not available on DStv). So I'm just wondering whats going on cause I'm confused. This isn't the first time it happened you would usually find a channel written coming soon and airs programs which aren't available on DStv yet.

I'd consider getting an Openview HD before it was pointless but now I'd recommend it.

What Is Thought Of More New Shows, Less Repeats And Channel Arrangements On DStv With Recommendations

Since late 2014 till now DStv has found many alternatives of improving our viewing to offer the best entertainment with additional channels, extensions which results to minor losses.

2014-2015:
-Launch of Lifetime, BET International, NickToons and Nick Jr. in 2015 later in 2015 BET International became BET 2 for lower packages while BET was for premium packages which later converted back into one BET channel.
-Launching of two premium channels M-Net Edge and Vuzu AMP.
-Launch of Eva, Itv Choice, Zee World, M-Net City and M-Net Family for the first part of 2015.
-The second part of 2015 BBC Entertainment and Knowledge were dumped and replaced by BBC Brit and Earth with an additional channel BBC First later it was announced that BBC World News and Cbeebies may not continue which would be available to stream on an app then an ongoing protest commenced to save them both.
-The launch of an Afrikaans lifestyle channel Via.

2016-present:
-People's Weather moved to a new channel number as well as TLC Entertainment.
-M-Net Movies Family, Romance and Comedy were dumped and replaced with M-Net Movies Smile.
-Fashion TV, Rhema TV, KykNet Musiek, Discovery ID, Discovery World and FOX Crime and Trace Sports Stars were dumped for Fashion One, TBN, KykNet Nou, ID Xtra, Discovery Family, FOX Life and Trace Africa.
-CBS Action, CBS Drama, AMC and True Movies 1 were dumped due to the underperformance and deduction of repeats.
-Eva+ and ROK were launched everywhere in Africa excluding South Africa till December were we saw the launch of ROK, Soundcity and Spice TV in South Africa.
-In 2017, we had the launch of CGTN News, Zee Bollymovies and GOD TV.
-The termination of M-Net Edge, M-Net Family and M-Net Movies Showcase.
-Mentions about Ginx tv Esports Channel and its programming will also be generated with Supersport.

It maybe a way to spice up our offering but this is too much, theres nothing wrong with the new but as time goes by you lately miss the old, I understand that you're trying to enhance our viewing but we need a bit of old back, try to adding more repeats for example:

General Entertainment
-M-Net Movies Action and All Stars they should consider adding more present movies like etv.
-Pop up channels, they aren't a bad idea but you could try and add content that haven't been seen on premium packages and first time for local packages.
-FOX Life has more local and reality shows it more international series and you could air older seasons of The Simpsons.
-Universal Channel has a lack of series to air weekdays at 6am CAT.
-Sony Channel and Sony Max need a little more programs. It usually feel like a rerun channel at this point at time. Sony Channel needs movies. It is better if you replace it with Adult Swim.
-Telemundo needs more action-packed series like Lord of the Skies(El Senor De Los Cielos), Darling of the Centaur(La Querida Del Centauro) and El Chema so far only Woman of Steel(Senora Acero) managed to arrive as well as movies that are Latin American.
-Lack of fashion channels like the discontinued Style Network.
-Instead of having an Eva+ you could have a Telemundo+ which airs the the telenovelas from below 2010 with telenovelas from above 2010.
-Since you dumped CBS Action, CBS Drama and AMC couldn't you have just try to make a general entertainment channel which supplied itself with programs and movies from these channels as well as CBS Reality.
-Isn't there a way to get WWE female targeted series on E! if you can't add Diva Universal.

Kids:
-Cartoon Network needs to bring some of its old shows back from 2010 while Boomerang has to bring back the Flintstones, Yogi Bear and Animaniacs.
-Disney Channel when most of girl targeted series are finished can't you put them on Disney XD and Junior.
-Disney XD should be available 24/7 but it still not available 24/7 everywhere else.
-Most of the shows on NickToons are new (acquired) I can accept that but you could try and bring Sanjay and Craig,Breadwinners and Legend of Korra if you have the time because after all they haven't aired yet on the channel and not everyone with a Compact package has access to Nickelodeon.
-There is need for more kids channels especially with its programming because Teen Titans (Not GO!) didn't air on Cartoon Network thats why there is a need for Toonami even for Anime while Samurai Jack Season 5 and Robot Chicken is only available on Adult Swim. Boing is like Cartoon Network Too.
-TeenNick is needed not because we want it but because we have NickToons to watch all our animated Nick and other animated shows not live-action like True Jackson, Big Time Rush and All That.

Music:
-Lack of genres such as Pop, Rock and Electronic.
-Too much local music.
-Theres tracks that launched with music videos for certain artists and bands such as Keke Palmer, Skillet, Bridgit Mendler and Red that haven't shown on Trace Urban, MTV Base, Channel O and Soundcity.
-Most of the music channels air the same type of music.

Studio Universal Offerings In May 2017 Is Superstar Horror Week, Tuesday's Hollywood Hits, Master Of Action, And Friday's Comedy Night

SUPERSTAR HORROR WEEK

THE CABIN IN THE WOODS
1st May at 21:55
From Buffy mastermind Joss Whedon and Cloverfield writer Drew Goddard comes a horror film with a difference. Like so many idiotic teenagers before them, five friends head out to a remote cabin in the woods for a weekend when they discover a basement filled with mysterious relics - and all hell breaks loose. With a stellar cast including Chris Hemsworth, Richard Jenkins and Bradley Whitford, this is an all-in-one critique, celebration and deconstruction of horror movies. Surprising, delightful and terrifying at every turn, it’s a total scream.

MAGGIE
7th May at 22:00
When a deadly virus strikes, turning people into cannibalistic zombies, Wade (Arnold Schwarzenegger) finds his daughter Maggie (Abigail Breslin) infected and quarantined. Bringing her home for her remaining days, Wade stays by Maggie’s side, watching her slowly transform from his beloved chid to a savage creature, while painfully aware that her time is running out. A dramatic departure from Arnie’s usual roles, this post- apocalyptic thriller is a moving portrayal of a father trying to save his daughter from one thing he can’t destroy – herself.

HOUSE AT THE END OF THE STREET 4th May at 22:00
Jennifer Lawrence shines in this psychological horror as Elissa, who moves to a small town with her newly-divorced mother, Sarah (Elisabeth Shue), in search of a new beginning. However, they soon discover that their new home lies in the shadow of a chilling secret, as a nearby house was the site of a gruesome double murder where a crazed girl bludgeoned her parents to death before disappearing. As Elissa befriends the sole survivor of the crime and brother of the missing girl, Ryan (Max Thieriot), she finds herself drawn into a dangerous world where nothing is quite what it seems.

A HAUNTED HOUSE
2nd May at 22:00
In this spoof of 'found footage' horror films, Malcolm (Marlon Wayans) and Kisha (Essence Atkins) move into their dream house only to discover that they’re not alone. While watching a sex tape they filmed in their new home, the couple are shocked to discover strange paranormal phenomena caught on camera. However, it’s not just the house that’s haunted! When Kisha appears to be possessed by a demon, Malcolm pulls all stops and hires everyone from a priest and a psychic to a team of modern-day ghost-busters to evict the pesky intruder – and get his sex life back on track.

TUESDAY’S HOLLYWOOD HITS

THE DA VINCI CODE
23rd May at 20:00
Tom Hanks stars in this big screen adaptation of Dan Brown’s international bestseller. When a curator at the Louvre is found murdered, it’s up to Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) to follow the clues hidden in Da Vinci paintings to a secret society that’s been covering up a religious mystery since the days of Christ – and which could shake the very foundations of Christianity.

ANGELS & DEMONS
30th May at 20:00
Everyone’s favourite symbologist returns in this highly antici- pated sequel to Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code. Tom Hanks reprises his role as Robert Langdon, who is called to the Vatican to decode a mysterious symbol found on the skin of a murdered priest, leading to a race against time to track down another secret organisation and stop a terrorist plot.

MASTERS OF ACTION
“Dolph Lundgren”

DIRECT ACTION
1st May at 20:05
Honest cop Frank Gannon finds himself framed by his fellow LAPD officers after he exposes corruption in his department. With 24 hours left to prove his innocence and his former boss out to kill him, will Gannon make it through the toughest day of his career? Crime thriller starring Dolph Lundgren and Polly Shannon.

SHARK LAKE
8th May at 20:00
After a mysterious epidemic of shark attacks at the quiet town of Lake Tahoe, a persistent cop and her biologist beau are forced to team up with an unlikely hero to stop these dangerous predators before the body count rises even higher! Thriller starring Dolph Lundgren, Sara Lane and Lily Brooks O’Briant.

BRIDGE OF DRAGONS
15th May at 20:00
When Warchild (Dolph Lundgren) is sent by the greedy General Ruechang to capture a runaway princess so he can marry her and ascend to power, the mercenary finds his loyalties tested when he finds himself falling in love with her. Action romance also starring Valerie Chow and Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa.

FRIDAY’S COMEDY NIGHT
“Oddballs”

SOMEONE MARRY BARRY
12th May at 20:00
Ever wonder why you’re friends with someone you just can’t stand? That’s a problem childhood friends Desmond, Rafe and Kurt are looking desperately to solve! Deciding that the only way to ‘fix’ their socially inappropriate friend Barry is to find him a wife, they set out to look for someone to temper his insufferable personality. However, their perfect plan starts to go off the rails when the girl they pick for Barry turns out to be just as obnoxious as he is. Hilarious romantic comedy starring Tyler Labine, Damon Wayans Jr and Lucy Punch.

MISS MEADOWS
26th May at 20:00
Katie Holmes stars as the lovely Miss Meadows, a prim, well-mannered primary school teacher with a penchant for tap dancing and long walks. Beneath her old-fashioned and candy-sweet exterior, however, lies a ruthless, gun-toting crimefighter who rids the streets of corruption at night! Things get complicated when Miss Meadows falls for the local sheriff (James Badge Dale), who is on the lookout for the suburban vigilante, and finds herself stalked by an ex-convict (Callan Mulvey) who threatens to put her students in danger.

STRETCH
19th May at 20:00
Down-on-his-luck luck limo driver Kevin aka ‘Stretch’ (Patrick Wilson) is struggling to pay off his gambling debts, when life suddenly hands him a way out – a client who agrees to pay him an exorbitant fee in exchange for taking him wherever he wants that night, from exclusive nightclubs to seedy hotspots. Stretch’s generous new passenger, however, is Roger Karos (Chris Pine), an eccentric and hedonistic playboy in posses- sion of a sought-after ledger that implicates a handful of very dangerous criminals who will go to any lengths to get it back!

THE VOICES
5th May at 22:00
An upbeat employee at a bathtub factory, Jerry (Ryan Reynolds) is seemingly normal – apart from the fact that he has conver- sations with his talking pets. When Jerry musters the courage to ask his crush Fiona (Gemma Arterton) out on a date, things go terribly – and fatally – wrong, leaving Jerry to turn to his evil cat Mr Whiskers and good-natured dog Bosco for help. As he struggles to make the best of a bad situation, things spiral murderously out of control. Reynolds is brilliant in this improb- ably layered film that veers from gory horror to humour.
