Multichoice has added a few channels to its current DStv bouquets and further announced a channel shift to better organize its current content. <\/p>\n

The new channels, which were added over the last two months, include M-Net Extra, National Geographic Wild, Lesotho TV and ESPN Classic.<\/p>\n

Apart from adding new channels, Multichoice also made improvements to its DStv channel numbering and grouping. <\/p>\n

The latest changes were implemented on 1 May 2008 and include the refinement of Movies, General Entertainment as well as the News and Commerce genres. All other genres will remain in their current position. <\/p>\n

Movies and General Entertainment will merge into one category with the channel numbers still starting at 100. M-Net stays in the same position at 101 but will now be followed by MM1, MM2 and M-Net Stars appearing in the channel numbers 103, 104 and 105 respectively.<\/p>\n

News and Commerce channels will be moved from 280 to 400. This means that BBC World will be changed to 400, CNN 401, Sky News 402 followed by other new channels.<\/p>\n

The following table gives a basic overview of the new channels, channel numbers and package comparisons.<\/p>\n
