What channels and shows are on DStv Now?
DStv subscribers can live-stream channels included in their package. For instance, DStv Premium subscribers can access all Premium channels, while Family subscribers can enjoy channels from the Family package. In addition, there’s an extensive catalog of movies and series in the Catch Up section, including box sets of popular shows and missed episodes.
Media players that run Android can download DStv Now through the Android Play Store. This means that if you own an Android Set Top Box (smart box), you can enjoy DStv Now from there also. You can stream live sport, other live broadcasts and also movies in the DStv Catch Up library.
Mark Rayner, MultiChoice South Africa’s Chief Operating Officer said: “The idea when we launched DStv Now was to give DStv subscribers a way to catch the big game and their favourite shows while away from home. What’s surprised us is how popular it’s also been as a method of getting DStv content on to other TVs around the home. By adding these new apps we’ve made that process a whole lot easier and more convenient – no fussing with cables or casting, and no decoder needed,”.
It’s important to keep in mind that streaming will use your internet connection to stream content to your device, so it’s advisable to make use of your uncapped internet connection (DSL and Fibre) to view the content to avoid high data costs.
