It appears premium subscribers on DStv are gradually leaving the platform. MultiChoice South Africa revealed in June that it had lost many DStv Premium subscribers during the past financial year due to increased competition from Netflix.
Accroding to why Mybroadband reported, DStv Premium subscribers across the pay-TV operator’s markets in Africa have been declining for the past three years.
Naspers’ annual results for the year ended 31 March 2018 showed that DStv lost 41,000 Premium subscribers.
2016/2017, they lost 135,000 DStv Premium subscribers.
Between April 2015 – March 2016 they lost 255,000 premium subscribers.
However, Its overall subscriber base continues to grow, but most of this growth comes from lower-end subscribers.
The graph below shows DStv Premium subscriber numbers for the whole MultiChoice Group since 2012. And from 2015, Premium subscribers base began to drop.
Beginning from 31st of October 2018, Channel 127 and 128 (Sony Entertainment TV and Sony Max) will be removed, and subscribers are not happy about it.
I love SONY ENTERTAINMENT ??
What do you expect when d subscription cost has gone up astronomically.
They ain’t seen nothing yet. They will still lose more subscribers
Honestly they know very well that they are responsible for this lost but instead they blame netflix..
I just bought Gotv 6 days ago
Even startimes is gaining popularity now
They will keep losing more if they don’t adjust their Price
good for them…they don extort naija finish
With that amount of sub…they will loose more and the dstv is so boring dis days
Well, people are looking for cheaper alternatives. They should do something about the price if they care
they should really draw up a plan that will bring people back cause the premium subscribers brings substantial cheddah to their pockets
They can’t get people back bcos everyone knows what’s up?
People eyes r opening daily now
why an I not surprised?
Hope they can lost more before learning
They will keep losing customers bcuz of the increase in subscription n other factors
They are responsible for their downfall
Increasing subscription prices with reckless abandon… They got what they asked for….
This is just the beginning
There is netflix and the price hike.. People will go for the most convenient.
Most of their programs are repetitive, now we have better options everywhere – Netflix, android tv and many more which offers unlimited channels. 5G is coming next year which is going to make streaming a breeze. They won’t recover from this if they are not going to to act now.
They will loose more, wait for honest operators to come on board. So secretive!!!!
Dem never lose o, dem go lose access and family join
We just need more company
I saw this coming with too much of repetitive programmes and skyricketting subscriptions.It is good to have known you DSTV.
I’m not surprise. Until the reduce ur coat of subscription.

Fuvktards!!….
Nigeria government is the cause of all this things, they don’t have price control ,honestly if I have opportunity to be ontop government , MTN and DSTV we leave Nigeria as soon as I go in to seat I don’t know what they took Naija for .
Start accepting bond notes for payments here in zim so you don’t loose
Yes,they will surely loose all their premium surbcribers without showing some important football competitions like europa cup, FA cup,carabao cup and so on
TStv is here with over 10 70+channels every thing in full HD +15 channels for Sports@ very low price ?
The problem is that they target minority instead of majority they should care about decreasing their prices if they care they will fall and aint never come back
What’s TStv is doing in hitting the city big since October last year? That’s why good for nothing DStv is exploring Nigerians.
Best station should not be removed
