MultiChoice has revealed its annual adjustments to DStv prices, effective from April 1, 2024.
Across DStv's satellite pay-TV range, prices will rise by 3.1% to 7.8%. However, there will be no changes to DStv's streaming-only packages.
Notably, DStv Access will undergo the largest price hike, but MultiChoice South Africa CEO Marc Jury assured that the entry-level package would also receive a significant sports content enhancement. This upgrade includes ESPN, La Liga, SuperSport Variety 4, and SuperSport Blitz.
