How to download with the DStv app
Subscribers to DStv may not know that they have access to the entire DStv offering on their phones, laptops, gaming consoles and even smart TVs. With the DStv app, it’s possible to livestream exactly what you would usually watch via your satellite decoder and access a bank of additional movies, series and documentaries to watch on demand.
Even better, the mobile app allows users to download up to 25 items to phones and tablets to watch offline – no internet needed.
Download on the app and watch offline
Get the DStv app on smartphone or tablet, connect to Wi-Fi and download shows to watch offline later.
