DStv Compact subscribers got more channels. For a weekend.

Although MultiChoice chose not to say anything about it, subscribers to the cheaper DStv bouquet, DStv Compact, got access to the full range of DStv channels this past weekend, usually reserved for DStv Premium subscribers.

DStv Compact subscribers were able to see all 87 TV channels (usually 39) since Friday until Sunday at midnight without an additional charge. It's apparently part of MultiChoice's new ''Open Weekend'' promotion, to try and entice DStv Compact subscribers to upgrade to DStv Premium.
