Entertainment on the go is now very possible with most of the traditional streaming services fully available on your mobile. A case in example is the DStv Now platform that lets you watch all your entertainment from wherever you are.
To use the DSTV Now App, you must be an active DSTV Subscriber with an active package that could be a premium, compact, or family bouquet. Using the DStv Now app, customers are able to watch the same Live channels and shows on Catch Up as they do via their decoders – the app makes it possible to also watch DStv on their smartphones, tablets, laptops, and smart TVs.
