Sunday Times reported earlier this year that Netflix and MultiChoice were joining forces to provide the “best of both worlds" with their new offering.

“There are a lot of areas that are video that we are not doing: sports, news, video-gaming, user-generated content. We don’t have live sport. MultiChoice serve a need that’s independent of the internet, via low-price satellite. There is no intention of capturing that audience. If they're growing, it’s because they serve a need,” Netflix CEO Reed Hastings told Business Times last year.
