Discover Digital has launched its own video streaming service in South Africa called Digital Entertainment on Demand, or DEOD. DEOD is the first converged service available in Africa offering live TV channels as well as video-on-demand titles as part of various subscription options. It also offers you the ability to rent the latest blockbusters and cinema releases, hot off the big screen, on a pay per view basis without needing a subscription. And it puts you in control: it’s the ultimate in Internet television, giving you more on-demand on your TV, PC, or mobile device. It is an African on-demand first.
Discover Digital was the company behind MTN’s video on demand service, VU, which shut down on the 3rd of May, 2017.
DEOD offers seven Subscription options, all of which are valid for 30 days from date of payment. With DEOD Premium however, you have the options to take the package for just a weekend (Friday, Saturday & Sunday) or for a week (7 days), as you prefer. You can choose to renew any package or change the following month, based on your personal preference. No long-term commitments!
