After purchasing and installing DStv in your beautiful home, the next thing to do is subscribe for a particular DStv package that suits you and your family.
The type of DStv package you’d subscribe for depends on your budget and the channels you wanna watch regularly. For that reason, I will be listing all the DStv compact channels available for South Africans and its price.
The most expensive and best bouquet after the premium and compact plus is the DStv compact package that offers over 166 channels for R399 per month.
The DStv Compact channels range from entertainment, discoveries to news and religion. The channel list changes from time to time but we will keep this post updated with the latest changes to reflect it.

I received a message from DSTV informing me that I can upgrade to Compact for R100 less.
Since then I have tried numerous times to upgrade electronically and by phoning 0112892222, but I never got the assistance I needed. As I am desperate now, I sending this email to see whether I get any result this time.
I would like to gain access to this package and would like to know what the cost will be.
