With DStv launching several new channels in the recent past, the channel re-numbering initiative is focused on ensuring that all channels are grouped as relevant by genres. This will mean that viewers can find the channels that they are looking for easily and quickly. This update of the channel numbers will also allow for future channel growth on DStv.

General entertainment channels with international content will be located from channel 101 to 143, whilst general entertainment channels with local content will feature from channel 144 to 169. Documentaries and lifestyle channels will sit from channel 170 to 190 and the free-to-air channels such as NTA, Silverbird, AIT and Channels TV will be on channel 250 to 285. The SuperSport channels in HD and SD will be housed from channel 200 to 249 onwards.
