Everything to stream on DStv online in May 2022

The Time Traveler's Wife series, Dloz'lami Season 5, Stephen Fry in Central America and the latest season of Doodgewone Jo are some of the shows hitting subscribers' screens this month.

There’s plenty of fresh entertainment to look forward to on all DStv packages this month, from brand-new series express from the US to the latest seasons of fan-favourite local gems.

Did you know that DStv customers are able to watch DStv online and on their phones, regardless of the DStv package they’re on? Live stream DStv shows and movies while on the go – on the same channels you watch at home – and catch up on missed episodes and movies after they’ve aired.

In this article, we share what to expect in the month of May when you stream DStv online at now.dstv.com.

Premium, Compact Plus, Compact, Family and Access each have their own section.
