DStv package price and channel comparison — Compact vs Family

MultiChoice's recent financial results revealed that although the satellite pay-TV broadcaster is bleeding DStv Premium subscribers, its lower-end packages show substantial growth.

Its 2020/21 annual results showed that subscribers to DStv Premium and Compact Plus declined by around 100,000 customers.

However, the subscriber base of its Compact and Commercial packages increased by 100,000 and its DStv Family, Access, and Easy View subscribers grew by 600,000 clients.

MultiChoice reported that it saw the second-highest number of new DStv sign-ups in its history in South Africa during the last year.

It said that this was driven, in part, by an acceleration in the growth of DStv Compact subscribers thanks to the success of its hit show Gomora.

I'm sure the Nigerian part of their business will more than make up for this shortfall.

I have complete faith in Multichoice management.

Packages cater for specific market and the loyal subscribers have left. To watch my sport on S1 and S2, Rugby and Cricket I have subscribe to the top package which is not affordable anymore. BEE packages only. Well done Multichoice. Thanks for nothing

So interesting comparison.
But what reach subscriber needs to do is divide the cost by the number of channels he watches to dertermine his personal value per channel.
For us on Easyview, it is R29/5 = ~R 6.00 per channel, which pushes it way up the scale. It is still quite expensive.
