MultiChoice will launch its own 4K smart TV in 2023 in conjunction with Sky, called DStv Glass. According to MultiChoice CEO Calvo Mawela, the TV will be available in sizes of 43, 55 and 65 inches at launch, with larger sizes possible launching later. It will allow viewers to navigate a range of products from different sources, including Showmax and Netflix.

As most other smart TVs, it just needs an internet connection and doesn’t need a DStv subscription to work as intended. It is essentially a reskinned, rebranded product that is based on a TV and interface launched by Sky in the UK, called Sky Glass. It will support 4K HDR and Dolby Atmos sound, with several colour options available to consumers.
“Glass offers a world-class streaming aggregation product that will include the collation and search functionality across MultiChoice Group’s own content and third-party apps,” the company said in a statement. “This content experience will be available on Glass panels as well as a range of other MultiChoice devices.”
MultiChoice will be Sky’s second global syndication partner for Glass after Australia’s Foxtel.
