MultiChoice is bringing the best of DStv entertainment on-the-go to our Compact and Extra customers – wherever they are and whenever they want it.
DStv Now is entertainment on the move. Previously, streaming Live TV and accessing Catch Up via DStv Now was only available to our Premium customers. These features are now available to our DStv Compact and Extra customers at no extra cost.
By downloading the app to your cellphone, or logging on via your desktop browser, you get to watch Live TV, see the full DStv TV Guide, enjoy DStv Catch Up content (via streaming or download) and manage your account at your convenience.
The Live TV and DStv Catch Up content on DStv Now will be as per the package you are on.
DStv Extra customers now have access to 47 channels on the go, while DStv Compact customers will get 37 channels (DStv Premium customers have access to 64 channels). This includes live streaming of package-specific SuperSport channels, and access to familiar Mzansi Magic favourites like Isibaya, The Queen, Lockdown, Our Perfect Wedding and Date My Family.
You can register up to four different devices for DStv Now on the same account. Getting set up is easy: you’ll need a Connect ID that you can create on Now.DStv.Com or through the DStv Now app.
Download the app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store for your mobile device or tablet, or visit dstv.com/now.
Once you’re on DStv Now, click ‘Register’ and then:
- Click ‘Yes’ to indicate that you’re a DStv customer

- You’ll now be sent a one-time pin to the mobile number associated with your DStv account

MultiChoice has also made screen casting available through Chromecast on Android to enable customers with the relevant devices to cast DStv Now to their bigger television screens.
