Check wherever you are and compare the prices. Multichoice is overpriced because of its monopoly. The satellite prices in Europe are below half of Multichoice. The US prices are even cheaper. Multichoice has been asked for decades to adopt pay per view but they are reluctant because they benefit from blanket subscriptions. They have only recently dismantled these because of the competition they are getting from online services.

Not very good. For example South Africa doesnt have one price for DSTV. Zambia too as author flippantly acknowledges somewhere.He actually quotes Zambia’s cheapest package (in Kwacha) therefore confusing his audience since his main chart has prices in dollars. We all know DSTV doesnt price in dollars but in local currency so he should have contacted them to find out what ‘formula’ they use for pricing in different countries.

Very true I can even watch DSTV on mine but since hey are full of repeats I have never tuned to them for one year now. I watch all of Africa’s Europe and American sports. And more shows than I would on DSTV. DSTV need to bring down their prices.
In fact I think the author should have titled his article “With strengthened Kwacha, shouldn’t Multi-Choice Reduce Subscription Fees?”

I quit DSTV one year ago and I now pay about one third of their prices for fantastic online streaming

Demand is not high they are just the only vendor on the market …you try settting up this type of business and see how much red tape they will throw at you because ZNBC has shares in DSTV, its counterproductive. Its the same with the beer market you have Zambia Breweries backed by the largest brewing company in the world Anheuser-Busch Brewing company which bullies independent breweries and start ups in the country.
