Here is the estimate new price of DStv HD Decoder starting November 1st 2025

MultiChoice, under Canal+ control, will cut HD decoder prices by up to 40% starting November 1, 2025, with South African models at R299 and similar reductions planned for Nigeria and other African markets. The company lost 1.4 million subscribers in Nigeria from 2023 to 2025 due to rising fees, inflation, and power shortages. An Open Time weekend from November 7-9 provides free Premium access, but Nigerian users on X question the move, citing high monthly subscriptions and competition from affordable streaming apps as the main barriers.

To estimate the new price of the DStv HD decoder after a 40% cut, we need to start with the current price. However, the exact current price isn’t explicitly stated in the provided X posts or web results. Based on the available data and context, I can provide an informed estimate.

Current Price Context:

• According to the web result from Businessday NG (published June 26, 2025), MultiChoice Nigeria previously slashed the DStv decoder price from ₦20,000 to ₦10,000, a 50% reduction, as part of the “We Got You” campaign. This suggests the base price might have been adjusted recently.
• The Jumia web result lists current DStv HD decoder prices ranging from approximately ₦1,850 to ₦58,600, with many models around ₦2,699 to ₦6,000 after discounts. However, these prices likely reflect a variety of decoder types (new, refurbished, or bundled), and the official retail price for a standard HD decoder might be higher.
• The trending post from @Letter_to_Jack mentions a rumored price of ₦17,000 for the decoder and dish starting November 1, 2025, which could indicate the new price after the cut, but this lacks official confirmation.

Given the context, the current retail price for a standard DStv HD decoder before the announced 40% cut is likely around ₦20,000 to ₦25,000, aligning with historical pricing and the recent 50% cut to ₦10,000 (which may have been a promotional price). For this calculation, I’ll use ₦20,000 as a reasonable baseline for the current retail price, as it matches the pre-discount price mentioned in the Businessday NG article before the earlier reduction.

Calculation:

• Current Price: ₦20,000
• Percentage Cut: 40%
• Amount of Cut: 40% of ₦20,000 = 0.40 × 20,000 = ₦8,000
• New Price: ₦20,000 – ₦8,000 = ₦12,000

Online Price (Over 40% Cut):

The post specifies that online prices will be reduced by over 40%. If we assume a 45% cut (a reasonable “over 40%” estimate):
– Amount of Cut: 45% of ₦20,000 = 0.45 × 20,000 = ₦9,000
– New Price: ₦20,000 – ₦9,000 = ₦11,000

Considerations:

• The TechCabal article mentions a 30% retail cut and over 40% online, suggesting the online price could be lower than the retail price post-cut. If the current online price differs, the new price would adjust accordingly.
• The rumored ₦17,000 price from @Letter_to_Jack might reflect a bundled decoder and dish, which could include additional hardware costs not covered by a standalone decoder price.

Final Estimate:

• New Retail Price (40% cut): Approximately ₦12,000
• New Online Price (over 40% cut, e.g., 45%): Approximately ₦11,000

These are estimates based on a ₦20,000 starting price. If the current price has already been adjusted (e.g., to ₦10,000 from the earlier promotion), the new price would be:
– From ₦10,000 with 40% cut: 0.40 × 10,000 = ₦4,000; New Price = ₦6,000 (retail)
– From ₦10,000 with 45% cut: 0.45 × 10,000 = ₦4,500; New Price = ₦5,500 (online)

Recommendation:

Without the exact current price, I suggest confirming the baseline price with an official MultiChoice source or retailer. Based on the most likely scenario (₦20,000 current retail price), expect the new price to be around ₦12,000 (retail) or ₦11,000 (online) starting November 1, 2025. If the current price is lower (e.g., ₦10,000), the new price could be around ₦6,000 (retail) or ₦5,500 (online).
