This is the football package. Why? Because DStv compact plus channels instantly bring all the happenings in the world of football to your home. Considering the list of channels and prices in Nigeria, it’s easily the best package on this pay tv.
Yes, I know it’s the second most expensive DStv package, second to premium but you should at least hear my reasons first.
Compact Plus is 7,900 Naira less expensive than the premium package yet has just 10 stations that I think very few average Nigerians will care about less than the premium package.
They include 6 super sports stations that show rugby, tennis, cricket, Golf, Motorsport and Grandsport. 3 M-Net channels and comedy central.
Now, do not get me wrong. Those are high-rated games obviously but I still stand on the fact that very few Nigerians actually watch them.
Now, compact gives you access to all stations that shows football from Premier League to La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, UEFA Champions League, Europa etc.
In fact, most of the football viewing centers in Nigeria out there are on this package. It just gives you all need as regards football.
Now, that’s not the only thing it has to offer. When it comes to entertainment, you get all the AfricaMagic, some M-Net, all the ROK, Fox and music stations. More than 50 stations are dedicated to this alone.
Yes, it is still not all. You also get the religion, documentary, kids and audio channels most of which are rich in content.

Dstv Compact Plus Price in Nigeria
Compact Plus subscription cost 12,400 Naira to renew every 30 days. It has 204 channels that contain 52 audio stations.
Channels On Dstv Compact Plus Vs Compact
There are stations such as 1 Magic, AfricaMagic Showcase, M-Net Movies 3, Discovery Channel, CBS Justice, Curiosity Channel, The History Channel, Super Sport (Football Plus, Variety 1, Action), ESPN 2, CNBC Africa, Bloomberg Television and Euro News (French, Germany) that are available on compact plus but not on compact.
It is 4,500 Naira cheaper than a compact plus.
So combining the two factors above, I think compact plus is much more value for money than Compact.
Yes, I know it is just 15 stations more than the compact but also N4,500 is more expensive than it. But look at those stations that you will be missing.
AfricaMagic Showcase for example brings you the best of Nollywood 24/7 in HD and super sports football plus brings you top matches and leagues such as UCL.
Like I said earlier, CNBC Africa and Bloomberg are the financial and business analysis best stations on DStv. And so are the other stations on the list.
If I were you and I can afford compact plus, have a steady power supply and have time, I will always go for compact plus over compact.
You can check my DStv premium article if you want to know if you should go for Premium over compact plus.

Final Thought
Instant access to 152 video channels and 52 audio channels will make it difficult not to choose the DStv compact plus.
It’s cheaper compared to Premium considering what it offers and a fair price over the compact.
Paying 12,400 Naira for entertainment is a lot for an average Nigerian. So, I get it if you can’t afford it. You can always go for a compact which is cheaper and still has a lot to offer.
So, I will push this to you guys. What do you think of the DStv compact plus package? Will you go for compact plus over both premium and compact or what? Let’s discuss this in the comment.
