Showmax on DStv Compact Plus

DStv Compact Plus users pay R49 to have Showmax. As such, the total cost of using Showmax (R49) and a Compact Plus subscription (R579) is R628.

This appears to be a good deal because Showmax subscriptions go for R99 per month. This means that as long as you are a DStv Compact Plus subscriber, you get to save R50 on all Showmax subscriptions.

Also, if you have the DStv Explora, you can start streaming Showmax movies and kids’ series directly on your big TV screen. This is because your Explora has internet connection capabilities of up to 10 Mbps.
