Prices move; the ladder does not
MultiChoice Ghana sets DStv prices. They change. Any blog that prints a single GHS figure as “the 2026 price” will be wrong after the next circular. The amount on the Ewale confirmation screen is the price that will debit your MoMo today. This guide is the package ladder, typical channel jobs, and how to pay without an agent.
DStv Ghana packages (2026 names)
| Package | Who it fits | What you are paying for |
|---|---|---|
| Padi | Entry / extra room | Smallest satellite bouquet — local + limited general entertainment |
| Yangá | More series than Padi | Adds entertainment depth; still not the full sports stack |
| Confam | Family living room | Kids + African entertainment; check sports on the live channel list |
| Compact | Most Ghana homes | Core movies, news, selected SuperSport — the volume bouquet |
| Compact Plus | Sports-heavy Compact | More SuperSport / premium sport than Compact |
| Premium | Full satellite stack | Widest movies, sport, and specialist channels on DStv in Ghana |
ExtraView is an add-on decoder on the same account, not a cheaper substitute for Premium. BoxOffice is movie rental on top of a bouquet. Channel grids change; open the DStv channel list in the decoder guide or MultiChoice app after you pay.
How to see today’s price and pay
- Read the smartcard number on the card in the decoder.

Channels — how to think about the list
- Sport: Compact Plus and Premium are the usual SuperSport homes; Compact has a subset. Confirm before a match weekend.
- Kids: Confam and above are the typical family pick; Padi is thin here.
- Movies / series: depth jumps at Compact and again at Premium.
- News / docs: present from Compact upward on most Ghana grids.
Do not buy from a WhatsApp “channel list PDF” seller. If E16 remains on a channel after a valid payment, you are on the wrong bouquet or the entitle has not landed — E16 / E30 / E48.
