Holiday entertainment made simpler for DStv subscribers this festive season

Entertainment at your fingertips

All active decoder subscribers on DStv Family, Access, Compact and Compact Plus packages will automatically receive an upsized package for the festive season, at no extra cost.

This offer applies to active subscriptions between 10 November and 31 December. DStv Family and Access subscribers will be upsized to Compact, while Compact and Compact Plus subscribers will be upsized to Premium. Customers who sign up or reconnect during this period will also automatically benefit.

With this upsizing in place, viewers gain access to even more channels and content, including limited-time pop-up channels and live sporting action, making this festive season truly unmissable.

Festive pop-up channels and live sport

With more channels unlocked through upsizing, DStv is bringing back a line-up of festive pop-up channels and live sporting events to keep households entertained throughout the holidays:

• Holiday Channel (DStv Channel 198): Live until 3 January 2026

The Holiday Channel, DStv 30 and SuperSport AFCON will be available across all packages. FliekNET will be available on Compact to Premium packages, as well as via Add Movies.

More screens for Premium customers

For Premium customers, the festive experience goes even further. From 1 November until 31 December, subscribers can enjoy two additional streaming screens, allowing streaming on up to four devices at the same time until 31 December. This offers more flexibility for families to enjoy their favourite shows wherever they are during the festive season. T&Cs apply.
