DStv is overhauling its South African streaming packages from 17 September 2026, introducing five new tiers priced between R99 and R799 per month. According to IOL, the revamped line-up includes a dedicated Sports package, while subscribers on the Movies & Series tier will gain access to M-Net content for the first time without needing a Premium subscription. The changes mark a significant restructuring of the pay-TV operator's streaming offering in the country.

MultiChoice has overhauled its DStv packages, introducing standalone sport and movies subscriptions alongside expanded access to premium channels and live football. According to TimesLIVE, the changes are part of the pay-TV operator's efforts to adapt to intensifying competition from streaming services. The revamp gives subscribers more flexibility in selecting content, allowing customers to pay for sport or movie offerings separately rather than relying solely on bundled packages.

Canal+ has announced that MultiChoice's DStv streaming app will be pre-installed on the home screen of new Samsung TVs sold across Africa. This initiative aims to enhance accessibility to DStv's streaming services for users in the region.

MultiChoice has reduced the price of its DStv Premium package to R799 per month, an all-in price the company says matches what the package cost about 10 years ago. However, according to Moneyweb, the reduced price comes with a catch, though the specific conditions attached to the offer were not detailed in the available information. The move represents a significant price cut for the South African pay-TV operator's flagship bouquet, which has faced sustained subscriber pressure in recent years.
