Showmax on DStv Compact Plus
On Premium, Showmax is 100 percent free. This is because any payments that may come from their use of Showmax is part of their subscription. But it is not so for users on other packages, like Compact Plus.
DStv Compact Plus users will only have to pay R49 to have Showmax. As such, the total cost of using Showmax (R49) and a Compact Plus subscription (R549) is R598.
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.
What’s more? You can watch Showmax from anywhere as long as you have a device that can connect to the internet.
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.
