DSTV announces changes from 1 September.

With growth and evolution comes change.

DSTV has decided to restructure the movie and sport channels to bring you streamlined categorisation and simple navigation to your favourite DSTV channels. Apart from the channel changes, DSTV and SuperSport have decided to drop the numbering system it has used for its channels for the past two decades, replacing it with a thematic offering around individual sports.

It said this change would make it easier for viewers to find their favourite sports.
