DStv brings your subscription channels and on-demand library into one mobile app so you can stream live TV, watch catch-up episodes and movie highlights, or download shows to watch offline. When you subscribe in a country within the DStv territories the app matches available channels and the catch-up catalogue to your package and location, supports streaming over mobile data or Wi-Fi, includes a PIN-protected section, and provides an eight-day TV guide with reminders to help you plan viewing.
Key Features
Live streaming of selected TV channels over mobile data or Wi-Fi. Catch Up access to popular shows, sport highlights and movies. Download up to 25 Catch Up videos for offline viewing across up to four devices. A PIN-protected section lets you restrict access to certain areas of the app. A full eight-day TV guide with reminders helps you keep track of scheduled programmes.
Advantages
With DStv you can access live television and on-demand content from your subscription wherever you are. Offline downloads make it easy to enjoy shows without a connection, and PIN protection offers control over access to specific content. Multi-device support allows different household members to use downloaded content, while the built-in TV guide and reminders simplify scheduling and catching favourite programmes.
Disadvantages
DStv content availability is tied to your subscription package and the country where it is registered, and geo-blocking restricts playback to countries within the service territories. The app requires a certified device to run for compatibility reasons, and downloaded content is limited to a maximum of 25 Catch Up videos.
