According to My Broadband, MultiChoice is working on airing the global rugby showpiece matches and the 2024 Olympic Games in 4K resolution.

“We will get to a point where 4K becomes more predominant," Camerer says.  

4K technology has become increasingly popular in the last few years and provides an incredibly sharp picture and vivid colours. 

This means that viewers will be able to see every detail of the action, even in the most intense and fast-paced moments of the game. 

Furthermore, the 4K technology also allows for a wider viewing angle so that viewers will be able to see more of the field, making for a more immersive experience.

DStv also plans to make use of the latest audio technology to provide viewers with an immersive audio experience. 

This will include surround sound and audio that is tailored to the action on the field. 

This will ensure that viewers can hear every hit, tackle, and kick as if they were standing on the sidelines.

This means that viewers will have access to the best possible viewing experience with no interruptions or delays.
