MultiChoice will grant all active DStv decoder subscribers free access to Premium channels from Nov. 7 to 9 to celebrate 30 years of service. The promotion excludes streaming-only customers, but viewers can watch blockbuster films and sports events without upgrading packages. The company will offer 30 percent discounts on High Definition decoders in retail stores starting on Nov. 1, and online prices begin at 299 rand.
Subscribers criticized the offer on social media and questioned its value for existing Premium customers. Critics called the promotion a short-lived gimmick that provides repeated old content rather than meaningful benefits. Some users suggested MultiChoice should innovate instead of offering temporary access, and others noted the promotion does nothing for current Premium subscribers who already pay for full channel access.
