DStv Extra vs DStv Premium vs DStv Compact

WOW, but I bet what they all have in common is "Repeats":D
 
So still none of the good channels.

I don't know why people complain so much about this, they can't really provide new content all the time...
 
Prediction:
DSTV to launch new DSTV bouquet in the future called something like DSTV Plus or whatever and adds the following channels to the ones available on DSTV Extra:
Afro Music
ESPN
ESPN Classic
MTV
Africa Magic Entertainment
Discovery Channel
BBC Knowledge
Disney
Supersport Maximo
Supersport 5, 6 and 7

And charge something like R450 per month.
But before that they will launch some crap new channels that nobody watches to also add to this bouquet to make it look better than it is.

My prediction is that they will revise the offering on Extra in the meantime.

It took them 20 years to come up with this one. 15 years to come up with Family (once only offered by Vodacom) and 10 years or so to come up with Compact.

That means it probably will take 5 years or so before they release a DStv Plus bouquet (as you'd like to call it). By that time Premium will be costing R1000. So the maths would be pretty simple:
- R1000 = Premium
- R750 = Plus
- R500 = Extra
- R350 = Compact
- R250 = Family
- R125 = Access
- R30 = EasyView
 
I've been DSTV free for the last 3 years. Not missing it one bit....

i took the Netflix/Hulu+ route...so far have only convinced the family to downgrade to compact...but soon ill be done with dstv
We don't watch anything but whats on Netflix/Hulu+...but they too scared to kill dstv off completely or even suspend account.

I am in a similar position to you.
I made Netflix and Hulu available on all our TVs and since then I think the only person that has watched DSTV is me.
I will soon have Amazon Prime as well.

So I will downgrade to Compact (or another) as an interim step to cutting the cord

The funny thing is, no one wants new channels. All we want is the sport channels at a decent price (R380 is crazy).

I can't really pay all the time, can I get a repeat of my subscription?
