Recently revamped in July 2021, DStv Business launched new value packages that are now packed with genre specific content that serves businesses and its patrons and connects commercial establishments to profits prompting increased uptake of the commercial packages over the past 12 months.

The company, in a message to customers, acknowledged that their Kenyan businesses remain under extreme pressure and the marginal increase is only as a result of inflation across the African continent.

DStv Business also announced recent improvement to the experience for its Work, Play and Stay customers with the addition of XtraView that allows establishments to have three DStv decoders with the same number of channels at the cost of just a single monthly subscription.

Customers will only be required to pay the Xtraview access fee. All three decoders can be operated independently to offer customers the maximum amount of choice.

DStv Business Work package is suited for schools, banks, and government offices, the DStv Stay package is tailor-made for hotels, hospitals, and multi-dwelling units, while DStv Play is designed for restaurants, bars, clubs, and shops as well as taverns.
