The price increase that DStv claimed it would be implementing one year ago has not been implemented, and the present price of R429 per month for the DStv Compact package remains unchanged. The DStv Compact package provides access to 215 channels, which can be used for listening to radio or listening to audio.
Even though many DStv users have voiced their dissatisfaction with the recent price increases for DStv packages, it is not breaking news that a number of high-quality local channels would be withdrawn from the package.

It is only possible to watch some movie channels if you have the Premium or Compact Plus packages. Subscribers that have the Compact package nevertheless get access to a large number of channels.
eExtra (channel 138), eMovies Extra (channel 140), and eMovies (channel 138) are no longer available on DStv Compact. M-Net City was removed from the list of channels and replaced with ME (channel 115). This action was taken to cut down on the number of movies that are shown on television on a regular basis.
