DStv launches streaming service


DStv has launched its own streaming service thereby giving customers the option of watching everything they have to offer without the need for a satellite connection and decoder.

It is now possible to watch DStv on one's computer, laptop, smartphone, tablet, smart TV, or even gaming console - all that is required is access to high-speed internet.

The company announced plans to launch the new service earlier in the year and it was officially launched on Tuesday, December 2.

The entertainment giant issued a statement saying, “Announced earlier this year during DStv’s showcase, DStv streaming allows for existing and new customers to conveniently access content on their preferred device (mobile, tablet, gaming console or Smart TV) which should be linked to a consistent, high-speed Internet connection for an optimum viewing experience.”

“Until recently, customers could only subscribe to DStv through a satellite connection, which meant customers needed a decoder to access DStv’s content.”

New DStv subscribers can choose between the decoder and satellite installation or the streaming-only package. However, the streaming-only package is on a month-to-month basis.

According to My Broadband Prices range from R29 – R819 per month depending on the package selected.
