The Explora 3 is available at all DStv Agencies, service centres, and participating retail stores – and is sold alongside the DStv HD 5 Series Decoder, which can be used in XtraView configurations.

MultiChoice said that the Explora 3 supports its DStv Smart LNB range on the market, noting that it no longer manufactures the older LMX 500 Smart LNB.

TechCentral reports that at a press briefing yesterday, DStv’s Digital Media CEO John Kotsaftis said Explora decoders can now connect to the internet directly via their built-in Ethernet ports ...

To access ShowMax via the decoder, users will first need to have their Explora decoders connected to the internet via a LAN cable or via WiFi using the DStv WiFi Connector tool.
