DStv Streaming

Customers can sign up for DStv and take a streaming only subscription. This subscription does not require the customer to have a decoder nor an installation. Customers require internet and a device on which to stream DStv.

At launch, customers can take a streaming only subscription for DStv Premium, Compact Plus, Compact, Family, Access or EasyView. Customers with streaming-only packages cannot add-on DStv Indian to their package, nor are they be able to ADD movies.

You can sign up on our website.

Any South African residential customer.
