New DStv packages vs old DStv packages: What to expect

Premium

Still the only home of Springboks Rugby, Formula 1, cricket, golf, football + all the entertainment DStv has to offer.

While Premium is staying largely the same, subscribers using a decoder can benefit from a lower price: R799 per month when you take out a 24-month contract.

Favourite channels: All SuperSport channels, M-Net and M-Net Movies+, kykNET, and every other channel DStv offers.

Price: From R799 per month. Get Premium >>

How can I access the 24-month contract for Premium on satellite at R799 per month? Existing customers can access the deal through our self-service channels such as via My Account on DStv.com or the MyDStv app, or by calling the call centre. New customers must call the call centre on (011) 289 2222.

What new channels can I watch on DStv?

We’ve taken the opportunity to refine our channel lineup, reducing repeats and concentrating on fewer, stronger channels.

Wethu+ is our new mega channel. Available on all packages from Starter to Premium, it offers a weekly PSL match, international movies and local content you’re used to seeing on higher tiers.

Some channels are being consolidated to make a stronger offering.

We’re saying goodbye to Mzansi Wethu, Bioskop Movies and Mzansi Music. Your favourite content from those channels will now be on Wethu+, alongside new and exciting content.

kykNET & kie replaces kykNET Lekker, which combines fresh and windowed content. Even better news: kykNET & kie is now available to all packages, right down to Starter, meaning even more people can watch the best Afrikaans content.

M-Net Movies 1 and 2 become M-Net Movies + (Channel 106), available on Premium and Movies & Series.

M-Net Movies 3 is now M-Net Stars (Channel 107), delivering fresh Hollywood titles for the first time. It’s available on Premium, Movies & Series and Sports.

M-Net Movies 4 is now M-Net Legends (Channel 108). Available on all packages down to Starter, it delivers blockbuster classics you'll watch again and again.

What extra sport can I watch?

• SuperSport Cricket moves from being exclusive to Premium to being accessible to Sports package customers.
• Local and select club rugby, including one URC fixture a week, is now available on Sports.
• SuperSport PSL channel is now available to Select.
• Starter will get two PSL Matches of the Week, and two Premier League Matches of the Week, streaming on Wethu+.
