History

The sister company of e.tv, Platco Digital, launched the Openview HD platform on 16 October 2013.[3] The product came to the market during a time where South Africa's transition to digital terrestrial television was slowed down both due to political and corporate gridlock. In 2018, the system became known simply as OpenView.
