Believe it or not!!!!! Superport is the only platform in the entire African continent where football lovers can watch all 64 2022 FIfa World Cup soccer spectacle matches that kicks off tonight.
This announcement was revealed earlier this month at a 2022 Fifa World Cup Media launch in Johannesburg.
These matches can be watched live and in prime time with highlights, historical footage and news updates.
According to a sponsored story reported by Mail and Guardian SuperSport will be introducing two 4K channels (DStv Channel 216 & 217) — the first in the DStv stable — that will cover all 64 World Cup matches. To enjoy this made-for-sport level of detail, viewers will need an Explora Ultra decoder or DStv Streama streaming device, connected to a 4K television with the supplied HDMI cable, coupled with a DStv Premium, Compact Plus or Compact subscription.
“Simply put, 4K picture has four times the resolution — four times the level of detail — of the High Definition (HD) picture that DStv viewers are used to. By comparison, HD has double the resolution of the Standard Definition (SD) broadcasts which viewers accessed until 2012, when DStv first introduced HD channels.”
Even without 4K screens, viewers will experience HD viewing as standard with the Explora, Explora Ultra or Streama, with all the detail and quality to go alongside one of the most anticipated World Cups of recent years. SuperSport’s offering will also include World Cup action for Access and Family package subscribers (via SuperSport LaLiga, DStv Channel 204). The 19 group matches, four round-of-16 matches, two quarterfinals, both semifinals, the third-place play-off and the final will be broadcast on the channel.
The pairing of 4K picture and the DStv Streama is an exciting one, meaning that football fans can enjoy all 64 games in 4K quality without a satellite dish and installation, for the first time. The DStv Streama is a TV streaming box that delivers content from DStv and a variety of other apps such as Showmax, Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, YouTube and YouTube kids to a compatible TV, via a fast, stable internet connection.
DStv customers are now able to access that connectivity with the company too, via DStv Internet, which offers uncapped, unshaped fibre connectivity to maximise
