DStv has temporarily upgraded Compact subscribers to the Compact Plus package, allowing these users to access a variety of channels that were previously unavailable to them.
The company confirmed the change in response to questions from subscribers at Twitter.
“During the month of May, DStv Compact subscribers will have access to DStv Compact Plus channels at no additional charge,” DStv support staff told customers.
Due to this free, limited-time upgrade to Compact Plus for Compact subscribers, these viewers will now have access to an additional 16 channels at no additional cost.

The M-Net Binge channel was introduced as a pop-up channel after the implementation of the national coronavirus blockade, addressing the increase in media consumption as more people stay home.
Pressure to lower prices
This follows after the hashtag #DStvMustFall Trend on Twitter in late April 2020, with customers pressing the station to lower their prices.
Many users subscribe to DStv, especially DStv Premium, because it offers excellent sports coverage through SuperSport.
However, the coronavirus pandemic has shut down the world’s largest sporting events, leaving sports broadcasters with little fresh content to supply their viewers.
Adding fuel to the fire was the fact that DStv implemented price increases in the first week of April, during the national closure.
Monthly rates for Premium, Compact Plus and Family subscribers increased.
To make up for the lack of live sports on its platform, SuperSport has been streaming several documentaries and replays of famous matches.
