About MultiChoice Kenya
MultiChoice is the South African pay-TV group behind DStv (satellite), GOtv (digital terrestrial) and Showmax (streaming), and it owns SuperSport. In Kenya it trades as MultiChoice Kenya. The three products bill separately, use three different paybills, and take three different account numbers, which is why a payment to the right company can still fail. This hub covers the numbers, the prices, and the bank and USSD routes, all checked against MultiChoice’s own Kenyan sites.
