SuperSport will become simulcast from 12 August 2014 – meaning that Standard
Definition (SD) and High Definition (HD) channels will display on the same
channel number.
This news benefits SuperSport viewers, who will no longer have to spend time
flicking between SD and HD channels.
DStv channel 201 will henceforth display SuperSport1 if veiwers have a Standard
Definition (SD) decoder and SuperSport1HD if they have an HD decoder.
TheSuperSport HD channels (DStv channels 211 to 217) will fall away as they
move onto the same channel number as their SD counterpart.
SuperSport channels have been playing in dualcast since the beginning of 2014,
displaying identical content on the SD and HD channels in preparation for this
change.
Customers with PVR decoders need not worry as scheduled recordings will
not be compromised by the switch over to simulcast – these recordings will
automatically be moved to the new channels. However, SuperSport
recommends that customers double check scheduled recordings to avoid
disappointment.
