Openview HD Roadshow Is Coming To Your Area

After an incredible launch last night at Shine Studios in Braamfontein OpenView HD, South Africa’s new kid on the box, hits the road and is coming to a high traffic venue in your area starting October 11 until end of December 2013. 

If the launch of Openview HD is anything to go by, this product is one thing every South African who loves entertainment should be excited about.

“We are covering the length and breadth of South Africa to raise awareness and empower the currently underserviced South African consumer, who has been looking for variety within the television landscape, with information around our wonderful new offering OpenView HD,” says Maxwell Nonge, MD of Platco Digital.

OpenView HD is embarking on a three-month nationwide awareness and education drive to give consumers an opportunity to learn and engage with OpenView HD. The promotional road show starts on 11 October in Gauteng, then to Limpopo, Mpumalanga, Eastern Cape and finally, in KwaZulu Natal.

As a North West born and bred, I am a little disappointed that they will be ignoring our province which is just 2 - 4 hours away from the hub of the entertainment industry. 

“It is important for people to know where to buy OpenView HD set top boxes, how to contact installers and of course, what kind of content offering we have in store for them. We are excited and encourage consumers to come spend time with us so that they are well-informed before heading to the stores to purchase OpenView HD,” continues Nonge.

Certainly, OpenView HD represents an innovative, consumer-friendly development on the broadcast TV front. The platform offers TV viewers a whole range of new options, priced at a budget-friendly/affordable rate that has taken the average consumer’s pocket into account. Structured largely in response to in-depth research conducted amongst the target market, the OpenView HD offering is set to revolutionise the way South Africans consume TV programming.
