Disconnecting DSTV
Do you need to disconnect your DSTV subscription for any reason? Maybe you want to change to a different provider, or you are traveling abroad and won't be using it for some time. Whatever the reason may be, disconnecting your DSTV subscription is a quick and easy process.
Step 1: Know your subscription status
Before disconnecting your DSTV subscription, it is important to know your current subscription status. This information will help you to determine if there are any outstanding payments or if you will incur any penalties for early cancellation.
Checking your subscription status online
You can check your subscription status by logging into your DSTV account online. Simply go to www.dstv.com and click on the "My account" tab. Log in with your username and password, and you will be taken to your account dashboard where you can see your current subscription status.
Calling customer care
Alternatively, you can call DSTV customer care and ask for your subscription status. You will need to provide the representative with your customer number and any other relevant details to confirm your identity.
Step 2: Return your DSTV decoder
Once you have confirmed your subscription status and there are no outstanding payments, you will need to return your DSTV decoder, smartcard, and remote control.
Returning your DSTV decoder in person
You can return your DSTV decoder to the nearest DSTV office or MultiChoice center. Make sure you have your customer number and any other relevant details. The representative will then confirm that all the necessary items have been returned and close your account.
Returning your DSTV decoder by courier
