The last couple of months allot has changed on DStv, South Africa’s leading Pay TV operator. DStv has launched a new Mobile Pay TV service called DSTV Mobile, added a few channels to their bouquets and even had a price increase.
With all these changes happening I thought it would be a good idea to give you a breakdown of all the services DStv is offering now, how much you can expect to pay for the different bouquets and what channels are on what DStv bouquets.

Ek wil graag n keuse maak van kanale maar net sport is dit moontlik want ek kyk nie die ander baie min.
broadband , Telekom , petrol, iPad , Cars price go drop but why dstv won’t price drop.
Wise spend less for Electrically , water , petrol same As i have to right to select own channels price less wise. Dstv not care about people price too high.
DSTV is getting far too expensive especially when we do not watch all the channels, and living on a pension. Also we are not allowed to select the channels we would like and pay accordingly.
Hi there everyone, I finally got an answer regarding complaints against DSTV, I sugget that you also write to : t.hlungwani@thencc.org.za I really hope that all of you complaining will do this, I just received acknowledgement of my complaint, so somebody is at long last listening.
Hi Rita I understand that Multichoice is currently summonsing all subscribers that do not renew the monthly subscription fee – hope to hear if someone else is experiencing the same
Hi Marius would like to see how they going to get that right, its every persons own choice whether you want to pay that much for rubbish. I mean it’s not like people have a contract with them its on a montly basis. I switched mine on last year for the world cup and then switched it off again. Did consider it for the super 15 but just could not afford the price. I love my sport and that is what I would love to watch mostly. Not repeat after repeat. Or stupid channels like Soweto, Zim, Bob,Islam, Portugese, Chinese etc etc.
Got the sms from my friend it says “you recently received our letter of demand on your Multichoice acc ……Please make immediate payment or contact MBD INC on 011 …….” how is that for being upfront.Like you say it is from month to month and if you do not pay they cut the service – I want to see how they going to make you pay for something you did not receive or view.
