DStv Now is available to certain Android devices (tablets and smartphones) and certain iOS devices (iPad and iPhone). DStv Now is also available on desktops via the DStv Now website, Android and Apple TV and selected Smart TV devices.

Android devices must be Google-certified and must be running Android version 4.4 (KitKat) or higher. You can check if your device is Google-certified by checking the Google Play Store settings.

We use the Google SafetyNet API to ensure that devices are not rooted (including factory rooted) or have a tampered boot loader. SafetyNet also ensures that the Google Play Store is supported by default on a device and the device is not running a side loaded version. We do not support side loading the DStv Now app on devices, the app must be installed via the play store.

For legal reasons, the DStv Now app is not available on uncertified Google devices. Please ensure that you are using a Google-certified device by going to Google Play Store Menu -> Settings -> Device Certification.

iOS devices must be running iOS10 or higher.

You can use DStv Now on any broadband internet connection, including ADSL, 3G/HSDPA, 4G/LTE or Wi-Fi. We require a minimum connection speed of 4Mbps, but for the best experience, we recommend a 10Mbps line or faster. It is also highly recommended that you use DStv Now in conjunction with an uncapped internet account to avoid any data bills. Please familiarise yourself with what your ISP charges you for data, as DStv cannot be held responsible for high data bills received from your service provider.

You can download a total of 25 videos, which can be divided between four registered devices. You can choose how many videos you want to have on each device, as long as the combined number on all your devices is not more than 25 at any one time.

Screen casting allows you to play video from the DStv Now app on a larger screen in your home that is connected to either an AirPlay or Chromecast enabled device. Some smart TVs may also have this functionality available without the need for an additional device.

This could be because your device is not on the same network as the Chromecast device, the cast device does not have internet access or casting has been disabled on your network i.e. port blocked on the router.

Select the item you want to watch from either Live TV or Catch Up, press play, once playback starts you will see the AirPlay icon alongside the other player controls, tap on the Airplay icon, a sheet will appear displaying all the discovered AirPlay devices. Once you have selected a device, playback will stop on your iPhone/iPad and continue on the AirPlay device.

Alternatively, AirPlay can be used to mirror the screen of your mobile device onto the screen of an AirPlay device. This is done by navigating to the iOS Home screen and swiping up from the bottom to reveal the system tray. On the system tray, you can enable AirPlay Mirroring. You can then open the DStv Now app and navigate to a Live TV or Catch Up item. When playback is started, the mirrored screen on the screen of the AirPlay device will be replaced by the live stream or selected asset playing in full screen.

You can cast downloaded content on iOS using Airplay. You cannot cast downloaded content on Android or iOS using Chromecast. Casting will only work for streaming live channels or streamed Catch Up content.

The extended catalogue available when you connect your Explora to the internet, is updated via the internet, whereas the Catch Up that is delivered to your Explora goes via a satellite. This means that content might arrive sooner on the online catalogue than the Catch Up service on your decoder.

Unfortunately Live TV does not offer a record feature within the app. However, you can access a great selection of the most popular shows in Catch Up. Videos are available to stream and download on demand.

The Kids section has a Kids Lock system using a PIN number, which you set up when entering the Kids section for the first time. You are also able to access this feature from the DStv Now settings menu at a later stage.

A DStv account is a profile that allows DStv customers and non-DStv customers to login to all the DStv websites and apps namely: SuperSport (website and app), dstv.com website, DStv Now (website and apps), Boxoffice (website) and other DStv sites, and allows us to serve you the content and sections of the app available to you based on your DStv subscription package and country.
