DStv reduces prices ahead of World Cup
A Ghanaian dish installer, popularly known on X as @samuel_elinam, has also detailed the current prices for dish and subscription packages ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
In a post on X on May 11, he explained that a promotion offers a package where Ghanaians can buy a DStv decoder, dish, and a one-month subscription for GH₵268.
Other options included a decoder only, plus a one-month subscription.
A brochure of a new decoder he shared on his X page showed that the price of the DStv decoder is now GH₵69.
His post has garnered many reactions.
MultiChoice denies price reduction claim
In a related development, YEN.com.gh also reported that MultiChoice Group, the owner of DStv, in September 2025, denied agreeing to any downward price adjustment of DStv services in Ghana.
This position contradicts an announcement made by the Minister of Communication, Digital Technology and Innovation, Samuel Nartey George, regarding a deal to cut prices for users within the country.
