If you’re in Nigeria and love TV, Multichoice is probably the name you hear most. Whether it’s DStv, GOtv or the latest streaming add‑on, millions rely on it for movies, sports and local shows. This guide pulls together the biggest updates, the strongest packages and easy steps to sign up or upgrade – all in plain language.
Multichoice splits its DStv service into three main tiers: Premium, Compact and Access. Premium gives you every channel from Disney+ to SuperSport, perfect for families who want the full buffet. Compact trims a few premium channels but still covers the big‑screen blockbusters, most sports and top local dramas – a solid middle ground if you watch a bit of everything. Access is the budget‑friendly option, focusing on local content, news and a handful of international hits. Prices shift a bit every season, so checking the latest rates on the DStv website before you lock in is a smart move.
Beyond the main tiers, Multichoice rolls out seasonal promos. Look out for “Mega Bundle” weeks where you might snag an extra channel pack or a discounted decoder. If you’re a sports fanatic, the SuperSport add‑on adds more leagues without upgrading the whole package. And if you love binge‑watching, the Disney+ or Showmax add‑on gives you an on‑demand library that works right alongside your satellite feed.
Signing up is easier than you think. You can walk into any Multichoice shop, call the customer line, or even order online. The key is to have your ID, proof of address and a payment method ready. When you go online, the site walks you through a simple questionnaire: what you watch, how many screens you need and your budget. After you pick a package, you’ll receive a decoder by courier – usually within a few days.
To snag the best deal, timing matters. Multichoice often launches “New Year” or “Back‑to‑School” promotions that shave a few hundred naira off the monthly fee for the first three months. Also, consider bundling: if you already have a broadband plan, pairing it with a DStv add‑on can earn you a discount on both services.
Don’t forget to check the “Pay‑As‑You‑Go” option if you’re only watching occasionally. It lets you load credit and use it when you want, without a fixed monthly charge. This works well for students or anyone on a tight budget.
Finally, keep an eye on the Multichoice app. It shows real‑time data usage, lets you pause live TV, and even record shows to watch later. The app also pushes notifications about new channels, special events and limited‑time offers, so you never miss a chance to upgrade for less.
Whether you’re a long‑time DStv user or just curious about Nigerian TV, staying updated with Multichoice Nigeria means you get more of what you love and pay less for what you don’t. Check the official site regularly, grab the seasonal promos, and enjoy your favourite shows without hassle.
A Nigerian court has ordered Multichoice Nigeria to offer a month's free subscription to DSTV and GOtv customers. Additionally, the company faces a N150 million fine for challenging the court's jurisdiction. This follows an earlier injunction to halt tariff increases, which Multichoice contested.
