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. 

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

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.  

Each DStv subscription allows you to stream on one device at a time.  

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 – For 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. 

Although you can use our app on any internet connection, we recommend an uncapped connection with a minimum line speed of 4Mbps, and a line speed of 10Mbps if streaming HD content. 

Please make sure you are aware of your data charges, as we cannot be held responsible for high data bills when using the app.
