Hi everyone, I noticed DStv has reshuffled the channels under family bouquet. My favourite channels and the only reason I am still using DStv (Bloomberg TV & CNBC Africa) were removed some days ago, and all movies, sports, and News channels follow suit this morning, even when my subscription is not expiring until early next month. I called the company customer service this afternoon only to be told that I should upgrade to compact plus as (Bloomberg TV & CNBC Africa) have been moved up, but couldn't tell me the reason behind the remaining channels that are vanishing too. So house I just want to confirm whether am the only one experiencing this disruption or it's general. And if it is general, isn't it now a better option to go for Gotv of 2/4k instead of DStv 4/7k with less valuable channels. And won't it be better for Multichoice to kuku scrap Access, Family, and Compact bouquet, so we are left with premium package (DStv) and economy package (Gotv). Thanks.

This is what has been on my mind since last week.

Here's my story...

I use Startimes (HD Combo decoder) but with antenna. I intended buying their dish as I hear it has more channels. I was contemplating whether to buy their dish or to port to DStv (as Startimes is fond of repeating stuffs). But with your story I'm in a fix now. If DStv is removing channels from their lower subscriptions, what's the guarantee that it won't be removed from the compact plus in the next few years? The price may not be a problem but the fluctuations (increasing it every now and then).

you ain't the only one I too was surprised they couldn't even pick one they just removed both and I love those channels because of the important information I get from them in terms of business
