Disney+ app changes on DStv Streama and Disney+ Add to Bill
Going forward, DStv customers will no longer be able to add Disney+ to their DStv bill, nor access Disney+ on the DStv Streama.
Disney will launch a new Disney+ app in South Africa on 9 September 2026.
Disney+ on DStv Streama
As part of this change, the new Disney+ app will not be supported on the DStv Explora Ultra decoder and DStv Streama.
Customers who currently use the existing Disney+ app on the DStv Explora Ultra decoder and Streama can no longer use the Disney+ App on their Explora Ultra or Streama devices. Customers need to access the NEW Disney+ App via a compatible device in order to continue enjoying Disney+.
Disney+ on DStv Add to Bill
If you subscribe to Disney+ through DStv's add-to-bill option, there are also some changes to be aware of.
New Disney+ add-to-bill subscriptions are no longer available, which means customers can no longer add Disney+ to their DStv account and pay for it as part of their DStv bill.
Existing Disney+ add-to-bill customers will be contacted separately about their options and any relevant next steps. Currently, there are no changes to existing add-to-bill customers and they will still have access to Disney+ by paying via add-to-bill on any supported device.
Customers who would like to continue watching Disney+ after these changes will need to access Disney+ through Disney's new app on a supported device. For the latest information on supported devices and Disney+ access, visit Disney's official channels.
