There is no doubt you are here because you want to know not just the list of stations under dstv compact plus package but also how much it costs in Nigeria right now.
What you actually don’t think you need to know is how it compares with ordinary Compact bouquet but i will be giving it to you anyways.
Compact plus is the second most expensive subscription on the Pay Tv giant and if you ask me, it’s all you need in my own opinion.
It comes with over 180 stations which ranges across different categories. It’s offers great value and how i wish it could be much more affordable for an average Nigerian.
When it comes to entertainment, you have got nothing to with almost 40 stations on board it which includes almost all AfricaMagic & M-Net Movies.
Some other worthy mentions are Ebony life Tv, ROK, ROK2, ROK3, Eva, Eva+, Fox Life, Fox, Telemundo, Televista and many more that will be listed below.
Guys, let us not even talk about sports. Because that is its specialty.
In case you are wondering why i said that, it is because it comes with almost all the SuperSports stations which means you will be able to watch almost all sport event irrespective of where it is happening anywhere in the world.
SuperSport 3 is for Premier League, SuperSport 5 and 6 is for UEFA UCL, there is a dedicated stations for WWE and many more. There are also dedicated channels for La Liga, Bundesliga and Serie A.
Okay, it is the package majority of those that show football matches subscribe to every month. The sport you can’t watch on this bouquet, you can’t watch it on DsTv at all.
Alright, you are like me which means you like to stay up to date on happenings around the world from News to Commerce. Well, Compact+ got you covered with the likes of CNN international, BBC World News, CNBC Africa, Bloomberg Television and Euro News.
I tune to CNN and CGTN News to know more about global event while i tune to CNBC Africa and Bloomberg for financial analysis and stock market.
If you have kids, there are over 13 stations for you to choose from and they include but not limited to the Disney stations, Jim Jam, Boomerang, PBS Kids.
There are also numerous local and religious stations for you to select from.
Another favorite category of mine is Music and you can never get bored with what you are being offered here. From Trace Naija, AFRO Music, POP Central, MTV Base to Sound City and Hip Tv. You will always feel lively.
Below are the stations on compact plus plan and the numbers to press on your remote to switch to them.

Price of Compact Plus in Nigeria
For 12,400 Naira, you will enjoy uninterrupted access to 189 dstv channels on Compact Plus package among which 42 are Audio stations.
Premium Vs Compact Plus Vs Compact
There are number of exclusive channels that comes with the Premium package that compact plus doesn’t have access to.
Comedy Central |122|, SuperSport Maximo 1 |241|, SuperSport Maximo 2 |242|, M-Net West HD |101|, SuperSport Golf |213|, SuperSport Tennis |214|, SuperSport Motorsport |215|, M-NET Movies 1 |104|, M-NET Movies 2 |106|, SuperSport GrandStand |201|, SuperSport Rugby |211|, SuperSport Cricket |212|.
What i am trying to say in essence is that it is not really a fair comparison between the Compact Plus and Premium subscription.
But in my opinion, it is really a matter of necessity. Do you actually need those stations? Well, that’s actually up to you.
You can let me know in the comment box.
But when it comes to the battle between Compact and Compact Plus, here is what you should know.
Compact doesn’t have 1 Magic HD |103|, Africa Magic Showcase HD |151|, M-NET Movies 3 |107|, CBS Justice |170|, CuriosityStream |185|, Discovery Channel HD |121|, The History Channel |186|, SuperSport Action |210|, SuperSport Football Plus |202|, SuperSport Variety 1 |206|, ESPN 2 |219|, Bloomberg Television |411|, CNBC Africa |410|, EuroNews French |438|, EuroNews German |445| but compact plus does.
Meaning you will be paying 4,500 Naira more for the 15 stations if you intend to upgrade from Compact to Compact Plus.
How to Renew or Pay for Compact Plus
Go to quickteller.com/dstv, select compact plus, select method of payment and input your card details to complete the transaction. You can use bank mobile app, internet banking and Paga
Final Note
Depending on who you are or what you want, dstv compact plus seems to offer the best quality out of all the packages that was made available for its subscribers.
Even though it is not cheap for an average Nigerian it does offer great value for the amount you are paying for it.
I would like if small amount can be dropped from it though so more people can have access to it.
But that is just my opinion.
What do you think about this package? Will you try it out next? Let me know in the comment box.
If you find this write up useful, you can share with your friends and family.
I like to hear from you and it will be my pleasure to welcome your contribution.
Does Compact have Super Sport 3 (SS3) and Africa Magic Urban (153) now? Because i payed on Monday July 6th and just discovered today (which the subscription is going to expire) that the above mentioned stations disspeared. What could be wrong?
I was using compact b4 my subscription exprired then I upgraded to compact plus but no new channels have been added it’s still the same. What could be the problem because I need to watch the champions league games
