Nigeria- MultiChoice, in a bid to curb piracy, has joined forces with the Nigerian Copyright Commission, NCC, in an exercise to phase out legacy non-secure decoders and introduce more secure ones for the transmission of DStv signals, according to National Mirror.
Managing Director, Multi- Choice Nigeria, John Ugbe pointed out that allowing piracy to thrive impacts negatively on the economic situation in the country, as it deprives many people in the value chain of their appropriate income.
“Accordingly, we will destroy all legacy non-secure decoders, to symbolically show that they will no longer be used, and have become obsolete.”
The non-secure decoders that are being phased out are the legacy decoders with model numbers; DSD 910’s, DSD 920’s, DSD 933, DSD 990’s, MC DSD (Single view, 660, 720 & 720i), Dual View 820, and SDPVR 3001.
These decoders will be replaced with the DSD 1110, DSD 1131 and DSD 1132, 2 & 4 Tuner HDPVR’s and Explora models, he said.
MultiChoice began a free decoder swop exercise in the last quarter of 2014, and although it was supposed to end on 28 February, the free swop was extended by an additional week and eventually ended on 8 March.
