Naspers' video-on-demand service ShowMax launched in SA.

This evening Naspers launched a new video on demand service in South Africa, called ShowMax.

At launch, ShowMax has content adding up to more than a year's continuous viewing of series, movies, documentaries, a wide selection of children's shows, and an array of classics.

Complete box sets of heavyweight series such as Entourage, Game of Thrones, and The Wire form the foundation of the service, and ShowMax brings new shows such as "The Late Late Show with James Corden" to the South African audience.

ShowMax is available via a wide range of smart devices with an Internet connection. This includes mobile phones and tablets via iOS and Android apps, laptop and desktop computers using a range of web browsers, and Samsung and LG smart TVs.

ShowMax is offering a seven-day trial period, with free access to the entire library in order to test the service. The ongoing cost of subscription is R99 per month, which allows access via five different devices. Two different video streams may be watched simultaneously on separate devices using the single monthly subscription. More information is available via www.showmax.com.
