How To Connect Showmax To Your DStv Account
If you are a DStv subscriber on one of the DStv Packages then you have the option to connect your Showmax to your DStv account as well as your Explore and watch Showmax through your DStv decoder. This means that you can opt to pay for Showmax as part of their monthly DStv bill.
Depending on what package you subscribe to you can either get Showmax for Free or pay the full amount.
- DStv Premium: Free
- DStv Compact Plus: R49 P/M
- DStv Compact: R49 P/M
All other DSTV package subscribers below DStv Compact need to pay the full amount for their Showmax account, but they can still connect it to their account and decoder.
It is quick and easy to connect your Showmax to your DStv account.

Enter your South African ID Number and then click “Next Step”. Showmax will advise what discount you qualify for.

How Do I Connect Showmax To My DStv Account If I Am Already A Showmax Subscriber?
If you already have a Showmax subscription and you pay via a credit, cheque card or Paypal subscription, then login to your Showmax account and change your payment method to “Add to DStv Account”.
Note: If you have added your Showmax subscription to another partner account or bill such as Telkom, Vodacom or MTN, you will need to cancel the current payment method and then reactivate your subscription by selecting “DStv add to account”.
