Introducing DStv Now for PC

A few years back, you might've considered the idea of having your cable TV right inside your pocket, with you everywhere you go both laughable and most probably unbelievable.

Well, now it's real. You don't have to wonder when you can simply just go to your appstore and download the DStv Now App.

DStv Now App is a service app by Multichoice, the parent company of DStv. DStv Now app enables you to watch your favorite programs, TV shows, Football matches all from your smartphone or tablet.

However, for one to be able to stream their favorite TV shows and others however, they have to be subscribed already to the service.

They must already have a decoder at home which is actively subscribed for. The plans with which a customer can stream TV shows on the app must be DStv Premium, Compact or Compact Plus.

I used it to watch the show.. Big Brother Nigeria while at school and I sure can tell you a few things..

FEATURES.

As a DStv customer with an active subscription, you can enjoy all of these features on the DStv Now mobile app.

2. Missed it live? You can catch up later by watching a selection of the most popular shows, sport highlights, and movies on Catch Up.

3. If you don’t want to use mobile data to watch shows, you have the option to download up to 25 videos on Catch Up while on WIFI to enjoy offline later across 4 devices. This is a personal fave as I'm not the biggest fan of streaming.

4. You can setup up to 6 different profiles to personalise each family member's viewing experience if they desire to

experience based on the sport, shows and movies you like to watch.

5. You can plan your viewing in advance, add Catch Up items to your watchlist to come back to later or access the full 8-day TV Guide and set reminders to arrange your viewing.

Top Pcmac Reviews

Great app apart from the inability to cast from my iPhone to Chromecast

By Kevokev91 (Pcmac user)

The app is great in that I can watch anything on the go and the video quality is excellent. It is very easy to use and streams quite consistently. I just don’t know why I can’t seem to cast the app to chromecast. I constantly get the message on my tv screen; sorry, there was a problem playing the video. All the while the cast icon on the top right of my screen is still connected to chromecast. Would like any suggestions from the developer as how to resolve this. Since this is a feature the app has I am disappointed it doesn’t work as it limits what I would like to do that is the reason for my rating. I understand everyone has different uses and if one wants to primarily just stream on the phone or other handheld devices then this does just that brilliantly.
Not great

By SantaCruz69 (Pcmac user)

I agree with the other reviews. App is not great. Is has great potential however. Too many poor streaming experiences to my apple tv. Lots of freezing and stuttering. Wish it worked better. Also, apple tv app is still missing which is a massive gap from a development point of view. 6 May review: After the update for the previous version i could for the first time since using the app airplay an entire episode without constant buffering / freezing etc. So step in right direction. However it was inconsistent. Sometimes it worked and other times i could not even airplay anything. Lets see what this latest version does. 11 May review: Yup. Back to the old days. Cannot airply to apple tv without constant freezing / stuttering / no sound etc. Cannot even watch properly on lowest quality setting on my phone. Showmax works perfectly, maybe learn from them?
Lacking functionality

By Nickname9844823 (Pcmac user)

A few basics they need to get right: 1. Give people the ability to remove something from their suggested lists. I don’t want to watch Isidingo or Masterchef, give the user the functionality to remove that from their suggestions and keep it off. If I change my mind, I can go find it. 2. Improve algorithms to match shows ‘You may be interested in’. So I watch action, now I may be interested in Masterchef. I watch sport, now I may be interested in Masterchef. I watch comedy, now I may be interested in Masterchef. You get the point? If what I watch has no bearing on what you show here, then just remove this whole section because it seems more that promoted shows are put there than what I actually watch. 3. Allow users to set the picture quality and subsequent download size based on connection. For WiFi connections, I want HD but for mobile connections I want a lower quality. The user has to manually change this if they so want to. Generally, a lot of potential, definitely some easy improvements can be made which will make this an easy 4-5 Star app (from a functionality perspective).
Good idea but terrible execution

By Chapman2779 (Pcmac user)

The overall idea of the app is superb. However, the point is to have the same programs as the ones available on the decoder I suppose? This is not the case. Many shows are blocked on the app due the this app not having permission to show them which defeats the essence of the app. Second issue is the fact that many times they jump to the next show while the current show is still running. I guess they set the show sequence based on time no matter if the show started or ended late causing us to miss a chunk of minutes of shows.
