Discovery Family Launches 3 New Series To Keep You On The Edge Of Your Sit From November 2016

Playhouse Masters
From Tuesday 1 November at 20:10
Every child's wish is to create their own fictional world, and a whimsical playhouse is the perfect setting for their ideas to come alive. Tyson and Audy Leavitt create the most elaborate, over-the-top playhouses out of their family-run shop - Charmed Playhouses. Follow the couple, from design to installation, as they turn their cute clients' dreams into reality. Tyson takes the lead in building the creative structures from the ground up, while his wife, Audy, brings life to the interiors, transporting children wherever they desire to go. The Leavitt kids also have a job - as the official playhouse testers, they get to climb over each structure and give their seal of approval. But the challenges aren't over yet. They face a final task - moving the playhouses from their workshop to the client's property. The team uses cranes, wide-load flatbeds, and spotting trucks to transport their finished work. But when it comes time for the big reveal, all the hard work is worth it.

Battle Bots
From Friday 18 November at 20:10
Sparks fly and robots will die in this ultimate battle of machine versus machine. This series brings all the thrills and edge-of-your-seat tension of a major sporting contest, coupled with the latest in robot engineering and larger-than-life inventors. Over six episodes, a single-elimination style tournament decides which home-made robot or 'Bot' is the baddest of them all as teams of builders and fighters compete for the championship. Separate weight classes will be eliminated so that robots of all sizes will battle against each other. Each episode gets fully immersed in the action with high tech on-board technology and cameras and combat analytics. Who will have what it takes to win the most epic robot competition of all time?

The Incredible Food Race
From Tuesday 29 November at 21:00
It's the ultimate gastronomic contest where cooking really is a family affair in this tasty series. Two different families battle it out in a super-charged race full of fun food challenges and a main event: the family vs family cook-off in an ultimate outdoor stadium. One ticking clock, two eager families, and a kid-approved meal prepared in front of a live and hungry audience. The winning family takes all - groceries for an entire year! First up is a spicy Mexican cook-off between the ultra-athletic Snyman family, and their vegan opponents the Buddle-Gills, featuring vegetarian quesadillas, and two very different takes on guacamole. Also competing is the loud and boisterous Hollick Family, who go head-to-head with the lovable Kroegers in a classic Chinese food cook-off featuring spring rolls, fried rice, and General Tso's chicken.

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.
