In this guide, we'll explain what's changing, and how to choose the best package for your needs.

New DStv packages explained

You’ve asked and DStv is listening. The new packages are simpler, clearer and offer more of what you want: more sport, more channels, and fewer repeats.

The five core packages are designed to make great content more accessible. In Zimbabwe there are:

For the first time, DStv has a Sports package, as well as a Movies & Series package that offers the very best international and local entertainment. Both packages also offer everything that’s available to Select and Starter subscribers.

On Starter, the sports focus is on the LaLiga and KICKOFF channels, with matches from multiple leagues available. On Select, there is the addition of PSL, Serie A and WWE.

From there, Sports adds every match of the Premier League and Champions League, as well as combat sports (UFC/EFC), and cycling, including the Tour de France.

Throw in Africa 1 & 2, ESPN and ESPN2 along with a SS Extra for overspill, and you have a seriously enticing sports offering.

Movies & Series adds the best local and international entertainment we have to offer: M-Net, Zambezi Magic, Mzansi Magic, BBC Brit, Discovery Channel, and M-Net Movies+ (formerly M-Net Movies 1&2), now available at a much lower price point than ever before, plus the same full PSL coverage carried over from Select.

Why are DStv packages changing?

We’re making the packages simpler and easier for our customers to understand. We’re strengthening our channel lineup, giving customers more value and fresher content. It’s the first step in a wider effort to make DStv even better for customers.

What's changing for me?

From 5 November, DStv customers are being migrated to new packages, and the new packages will be available to new subscribers. The migration is being implemented in phases, and even if your account shows your old package name, you’ll still receive any new channels.

Which customers are affected?

Outside of the migration, the Premium package is renamed Ultimate, and gets an additional spillover channel. Compact Plus and Access remain unchanged, although no new subscriptions to either package are possible.

All DStv subscribers will be automatically migrated to their new packages:

• Compact Plus and Access subscribers stay on their current package.
• Premium package is renamed Ultimate.
• Movies & Series is a new package.
• Compact subscribers move to Sports.
• Family subscribers move to Select.
• Lite subscribers move to Starter.
