Disney+ will be launched in South Africa on 18 May. But how does it compare to Netflix, Showmax, Prime Video, BritBox, Apple TV+ and others?
Then there’s the homegrown South African platforms, MultiChoice Group’s Showmax, eMedia’s eVOD and Telkom’s TelkomOne. Showmax is the most popular local streaming site, with a wide range of content, from local series such as the KykNET drama. eVOD and TelkomOne do not offer a catalogue as diverse as Showmax’s but have more than 100 local content and select international titles to showcase.
Showmax offers up to 720p resolution, poorer quality that the standard plan from Netflix, which offers 1080p, but it isin time for the 2022 Fifa World Cup in Qatar, which kicks off in November, TechCentral has reported. eVOD offers 720p to its subscription “AMP” users and those using the service for free are offered a lower-res, 360p solution. TelkomOne offers standard definition for all its users.International sites Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+ and BritBox are also available in South Africa and, with the addition of Disney+, it will be a tight competition for viewers.
