Changes in DStv and GOtv Packages From 1st June 2020.

A few days back, Multichoice announced that they are implementing certain changes in their packages for DStv and GOtv. These changes are meant to take effect from the 1st of June, 2020.

According to an open FAQ document provided by MultiChoice online, the changes are part of their ongoing efforts to ensure customers get improved choices and better value for money whilst delighting them with content that resonate with them.

As surprising as that might sound, the changes are real and would apply to affected DStv and GOtv packages from June 1st, 2020. Here is the full gist of what’s happening:

Removal of two (2) DStv and two (2) GoTV packages

That’s right. The following bouquets would no longer be available for subscription from 1st of June:

DStv Access Bouquet E36ACSSE36
DStv Family Bouquet E36COFAME36
GOtv Plus BouquetGOtvPLS
GOTV Value BouquetGOTV

Other packages ( DStv Premium, DStv Compact Plus, DStv Compact, DStv Confam and DStv Yanga. GOtv Max, GOtv JOLLI, GOtv JINJA, and GOtv Lite) would remain intact.

The removal of DStv Access might hurt a lot of people as it’s a popular package commonly subscribed for but don’t worry; MultiChoice is adding a new package to their list.

Addition of a new DStv package

In place of the phased out bouquet, MultiChoice would be adding a new packaged called DStv Padi Bouquet E36 (NLTESE36). The packaged would be subscribed for at N1,800 per month.

Change in subscription prices for certain DStv and GOtv packages

Perhaps the biggest news of the coming changes are the adjustments made by MultiChoice in the subscription prices for certain DStv and GOtv packages. Again these price twerks were made to serve customers better, according to MultiChoice.

  1. Hi my name is Boshoff Boshoff and my ID No. 5610235042083 and would like to request that my service be suspended until futher notice please as I am in the process of moving house.

    1. With these changes in price will there be any change on the number of channels? For instance I cant find channel 139 on my compact list.

      1. Yes, there might be slight changes in channels according to the plans changed. If you are unable to view a particular channel on a package where you normally see it, best you contact DStv support.

        It might be that your current plan does not support that channel or it does but there are some viewing issues.
