DStv Nigeria channels – list of all bouquets and prices

 naijadazz-dstv-nigeria-channels-bouquets-2018.jpgNigerians are passionate about sports, even so much more about showbiz; music and entertainment. With music shows, sporting events and loads of movie premiere popping up almost every day of the week, the easiest way to keep track of the trends is undoubtedly through the widescreen.

Pay TV is master of the widescreen, and in Nigeria, DStv (Digital Satellite Television) is master of Pay TV. DStv aggregates all the trends and serves at our convenience, but how good are DStv packages as a Pay TV company?

Background on DStv

With over 12 Million subscribers, South African owned DStv enjoys a significant monopoly in Pay TV across Nigeria. Since entering the Nigerian market in the 1990s, it’s parent company MultiChoice, has gained traction, developed and launched several complementary products to boost its penetration across the country.

More than 20 years since setting up its first local shop, DStv has emerged as a household name and to some significant degree a standard for satellite TV in the country. Pay TV business is big business, big business means big money.

DStv operated an almost complete monopoly for years amassing millions in cash yearly.  Though hitherto an exclusive luxury for the rich, entrance of other foreign Pay TV companies in 2010 ignited a rough competition that saw the prices of DStv subscription take a nose dive.

Rapid introduction of competition quickly stirred the market, forcing operators like DStv to make room for different classes of subscribers. Considering the prevalence of lower income earners and an equally rapidly rising middle class, DStv has developed bouquets to suit individual needs and financial class.

There are currently 6 subscription packages (bouquets) available for DStv subscribers in Nigeria:

1. Dstv FTA Plus

2. DStv Access

3. DStv Family

4. DStv Compact

5. DStv Compact Plus

6. DStv Premium

DStv FTA plus – subscription rate: 1,600 Naira per month

DStv starts its pricing from the low budget FTA plus bouquet. It’s the cheapest plan in the DStv bouquet list. The FTA plus is tailored for low budget subscribers who are comfortable with local stations and want to stay abreast of local news and trends.

The bouquet features channels that offer local perspective on sports, current affairs as well as general entertainment and news. There are only 6 channels to choose from in this bouquet. They are;

NTA I
Silverbird
AIT
Channels
MiTV
Lagos TV

DStv Access – subscription rate: 2,000 Naira per month

The DStv Access is the second cheapest subscription plan on the list. With just a measly 400 naira price difference between the cheapest plan, it puts a question mark on the existence of the FTA plus bouquet.

The plans comes bundled with 91 channels, a huge difference from the 6 offered by the FTA plus. All Channels on the Access bouquet are all SD quality. The channels in the DStv Access are;
