MultiChoice to add SuperSport 3 HD (SS3 HD) from 8 April - source.





Thanks to TV with Thinus,I can reveal that MultiChoice will in all likelihood be adding a new high definition (HD) sports channel in the form of SuperSport 3 HD (SS3 HD) from 8 April on DStv channel 176 that will become a new SS EPL HD channel and carry all English Premier League (EPL) matches and other soccer related TV content in HD.

According to a credible insider who then, unsolicited, alerted TV with Thinus, ''the channel will be available to DStv Premium subscribers who use an HD PVR for viewing purposes.''

While SS1 HD will remain channel 171 ''and be designated for Golf, Rugby and Motorsport coverage in HD'', there will apparently be some SS2 HD and SS3 HD changes. ''SS2 HD will carry Cricket, Tennis, PSL, Bundesliga, La Liga, Champions League and Europa League and will also include Motorsport when other big events are on SS1 HD.''

The channel numbering for the SuperSport HD channels are going to change according to this source, as a result of this.

''The new SuperSport HD feed launching on 8 April 2011 will become SS2 HD with the channel number remaining as DStv channel 174. The existing SuperSport 2 HD which hosts English Premier League (EPL) will become the new SuperSport 3 HD and will have a new channel number of DStv 176 and the channel tag will change to SS3 HD.''

I'm also informed that for SuperSport 3 HD Nigeria ''the existing SuperSport 2 HD which hosts the EPL for Nigeria only, [will get a] new channel number 177 and the channel tag will change to SS3 HD.''

TV with Thinus has made a media enquiry to MultiChoice about what I've just been told. MultiChoice says no comment for now and that the pay platform will let subscribers know when its ready to announce any new channels.
