The price of items in SA keeps going up and it’s not just food items, it’s clothes, shoes, smartphones, transportation, and oh, TV entertainment.
It’s no longer news that while some good local channels are being taken off the bouquet, the price increase on DStv packages has become a norm despite the mass outcry by subscribers.
The current DStv Compact price 2022 is R429 per month which means that we’ve had an additional R20 added to the monthly cost. The new price is for both the old and new DStv subscribers using Compact.

Using DStv Compact with XtraView
A good way to utilize your Compact package is to use it with XtraView. This makes a lot of sense if you plan to use it on multiple TV screens. Instead of paying a DStv Compact fee for each decoder, you can simply pay a one-time XtraView fee.
Using Compact with XtraView will cost you a total of R539 per month. This total cost is gotten by adding the price of the Compact subscription(R429 p/m) to the XtraView Access Fee (R110 p/m).
There are no additional channels on XtraView. What you get with XtraView is the ability to watch DStv on different TV screens using independent decoders under one DStv Compact subscription. To learn more, see the article on XtraView.
