DStv Stream is the brand and name for our streaming only subscriptions. DStv Stream allows customers to take a subscription and enjoy our content Anywhere* without the need for a decoder.

The DStv Stream app is where you can enjoy all the content for your package, anywhere* and anytime you’re on the go. You can stream your live TV channels and also watch Catch Up. And if you’re not yet a subscriber, you’ll find a small selection of content for you to enjoy.

Our app allows you to set up profiles, create a watchlist of shows on Catch Up, download content (on selected devices), plan your viewing with the TV Guide, and even manage what the kids watch with a fun section for kids. 

With each DStv subscription, you can now link up to 2 mobile streams, allowing multiple users to stream simultaneously.

Internet access and data are required to use the app. 

You’ll find the app on a wide range of devices, from Android and iOS devices, to game consoles, Smart TVs, media players and your laptop.

*The little star behind anywhere is a reminder that you can watch DStv at the beach, in your car and while waiting in queues, however – there are some restrictions. Example: if traveling in Africa and in a country that has DStv, you can stream all your live TV channels and watch Catch Up (you won’t get local channels – you get the same channels as at home). However, if in any other country, there will be no content available  – our content rights do not allow it.

It depends on how many viewers (mobile streams*) you have linked to your subscription.

• If you have not added any mobile streams, you can stream on 1 device at a time – with no restrictions on which device you use.
• If you have added 1 mobile stream, 2 people can stream at the same time (1 stream must be on a mobile device)
• If you have added 2 mobile streams, 3 people can stream at the same time (2 streams must be on mobile devices)

Note, all users need to be logged in with the same details.

*Mobile streams are charged monthly. Pricing differs per package. Not available on EasyView.

With an internet connection and a compatible device*, you can access our apps on selected devices in the following categories:
