DStv has launched an independent streaming service where customers can subscribe and watch all channels through the DStv application, without a set-top box or satellite connection.

Announced earlier this year, DStv streaming enables new and existing customers to access content on their preferred device, including smartphones, tablets, game consoles, or smart TVs.

The device must be linked to a constant, high-speed internet connection for an optimal viewing experience, DStv said.

Previously, customers could only subscribe to DStv through a satellite connection, including a set-top box to access DStv content.

DStv transmission allows customers to choose any of their residential packages. The current packages available for streaming are:

  • DStv Premium;
  • DStv Compact Plus;
  • DStv Compact;
  • DStv family;
  • DStv Acces;
  • DStv EasyView.

Streaming customers can also watch Catch Up shows on four devices, with a maximum of two simultaneous streams.

“We are guided by the changing viewing habits of our customers and how and when they choose to access our content.

“The choice to use the Internet to consume content speaks to how DStv continues to diversify its offerings with a clear intention of generating value and convenience for our customers,” said Nyiko Shiburi, CEO of MultiChoice South Africa.

Current DStv customers on select packages retain access to the DStv streaming service that they have long enjoyed as a value-added service.
