Why Catch Up?
Catch Up is DStv on your own terms. Aside from watching DStv live, with Catch Up in the mix, you can do all of this, too…
- Create your own schedule: You can decide on your night’s viewing order and shows. Make up viewing themes like Tuesday comedy nights, or Sunday action. There’s no more skipping through channels trying to find something to fill the gap while you’re waiting for your favourite series to come on live TV. And if you've had an exhausting day and you're not up to your tense emotional drama, you can save it for the weekend and just watch your cooking and makeover shows instead.
- See it all: You can watch shows that were on while you were watching 1 of your other favourites without having to download it and take up space.
- Re-watch a moment: Whether you’d like to re-live the emotional impact of a kiss or a death, or someone spoke over an essential piece of dialogue, with Catch Up, you can start up that episode, skip to your moment, and re-live it or clear things up. Whatever you need.
- Put it on pause: If you’re into series wardrobe and décor, being able to watch and pause the show means you can take a closer look at an outfit or set details – this is especially great for sci-fi and detective show fans.
- Binge: Whether you want to see the 4 latest episodes of your favourite soap, or binge a whole season of a show, you can do that on Catch Up.
- Box Sets: With Catch Up, if DStv is making a show available as a Box Set, and with your Explora connected to the internet or via the DStv App, you will be able to see all the season’s episodes aired to date, rather than the latest 4 episodes, if you want to binge it.
