To celebrate 30 years, DStv is reviving its Open Time weekend.

For one weekend only, from Friday 7 November to Sunday 9 November, all active DStv satellite customers will have full access to every Premium channel.

"DStv has grown up alongside its viewers. For three decades, we have been part of South Africans’ homes, their weekends and their memories," says Bryon du Plessis, CEO of SA PayTV at MultiChoice.

The Open Time weekend will be jam-packed with sports on SuperSport, including the Springboks vs France on Saturday and Manchester City vs Liverpool on Sunday.

The Formula 1 Brazilian Grand Prix also takes place that weekend. 

Open Time will run from 12:01 am on Friday, 7 November, to 11:59 pm on Sunday, 9 November.
