Multichoice has launched their much anticipated DStv BoxOffice service last night at an event in Johannesburg. DStv BoxOffice is a video on demand rental service that enable DStv customer to rent the latest Hollywood blockbuster movies for a nominal fee straight from their PVR decoders.
DStv started rolling out the BoxOffice service to premium subscribers from last night and will provide them with 48 hours worth of movie rentals at a price of R25 per movie.
DStv BoxOffice provides subscribers with access to 15 movie rentals at a time that are all stored on their PVR decoders, once a subscriber has then paid for the movie rental the movie will become available to watch.
The big question is will you loose valuable recording space on your PVR now that the BoxOffice movies are downloaded to your device? The answer is no, DStv has reserved space for the BoxOffice service on the PVR decoder since day one so none of your recording will be affected, but due to the limited reserve space you will only have access to 48 hours worth of movies at a time.
New movies will be added to the DStv BoxOffice service every week, with DStv planning to provide up to 150 blockbuster Hollywood movies each year on the service a mere 4 to 6 months after the cinema release.
Payment of the movie rentals can happen via your credit card or via your DStv BoxOffice account that operates almost the same as your DStv account that you can pay monthly the same ways you would pay your DStv account.

I have a problem as I have subscribed to your blockbuster movie and I am still awaiting for the movie to play. Your service stinks as I have tried calling and I have spent almost one hour on my cell phone to get some clarity and no one responds as your call centre is very busy and I don’t know what to do any more. Please advise and respond. Thanks

I Would Like To Know If I Could Transfer Money To Box Office And Then Have An Available Amount Of Money In Box Office To Use, When I See A Movie That Interests Me.
Hi Johan, you can definitely do that. If you log into the care.dstv.com website under My Account and then the Box Office section click on BoxOffice Account Balance and then click the topup button.
How do I know when my movie is available to watch, and here do I find it
You will receive a message on your decoder saying its available.
I found that there were different movies on 1 pvr decoder and on mine the movies were not even there yet? And the pvr decoders are the exact same.
