MultiChoice's standalone DStv streaming in South Africa goes live

Thursday 3 December 2020 | 10:04 CET | News

MultiChoice's DStv has launched its standalone streaming service, allowing viewers to watch the full DStv range without a satellite connection, BusinessTech reported. The new streaming-only packages are available on a month-to-month basis at prices from ZAR 29 for DStv EasyView to ZAR 819 for DStv Premium. Existing and new customers can watch DStv on a mobile phone, tablet, gaming console or Smart TV, which should be linked to a consistent, high-speed internet connection.

Until recently, customers could only subscribe to DStv through a satellite connection, which meant customers needed a decoder to access DStv's content.  Now, they can then watch DStv anywhere and at any time on their iOS device, Android, Chromecast, Apple TV, or Smart TV. Streaming customers can watch shows on Catch Up on four devices, with a maximum of two concurrent streams.
