Hi Serame! I can’t really help South Africans with that at the moment. But you can contact the nearest dstv agent near you. See post on how to contact nearest DStv agent. You could also use DStv’s self-service portals, or find them on WhatsApp at 060 060 3788.
Hi, Nxala! Thank you for the feedback. Channels 110, 111 and 139 are no longer available on Compact. However, you are going to get two movie channels as replacement: M-Net Movies 3(107) and M-Net Movies 4(108).
Hi, Thabo. I’m sorry they’ve removed your favourite channels. I think you should just go through the channels list (for all the packages) so you can decide which package you should switch to. The best thing would be to change the package because you won’t be able to add channels to an existing package. I hope Dstv will give us the option to choose channels in future. For now, WYSIWYG.
