MultiChoice offers DStv customers a number of bouquets, each of which has its own selection of channels and perks.<\/p>\n

For example, DStv Compact is priced at R399 per month and offers viewers 118 channels, while DStv Premium offers 150 channels and is priced at R809 per month.<\/p>\n

DStv Premium also includes a free subscription to Showmax.<\/p>\n

Each bouquet’s offering can also change when DStv launches new channels or makes channels available to viewers on lower-subscription tiers.<\/p>\n

We’ve detailed some of the most recent changes below and compared the current offerings and prices of the DStv Compact, Compact Plus, and Premium bouquets.<\/p>\n

New channels and shows<\/h3>\n

In November 2019, MultiChoice announced<\/a><\/strong> that it had launched two new DStv channels – CBS Justice and CuriosityStream.<\/p>\n

CBS Justice is a 24\/7 crime channel which is available to Premium and Compact Plus subscribers on DStv channel 170.<\/p>\n

CuriosityStream is a Premium-only offering and is being aired on channel 185.<\/p>\n

The company also said<\/strong><\/a> it would bring more shows from its higher-level bouquets to DStv Compact subscribers.<\/p>\n

These shows include the locally-produced Grassroots and the Real Housewives of Johannesburg, which were previously only available on 1Magic and Showmax.<\/p>\n

The shows are now broadcast on Mzansi Magic (channel 161) and Mzansi Wethu (channel 163), in addition to 1Magic.<\/p>\n

Prices<\/h3>\n

The monthly price and number of channels in each DStv package are summarised in the table below. The prices exclude the monthly PVR Access Fee.<\/p>\n
