I'm not happy with this latest update. 1. It freezes a lot. 2. In the past 5 days I have updated the app 3 times because in the middle of watching, it freezes and brings up the message to update, but nothing changes. Oh, and every update deletes all my downloads. 3. Catchup episodes are sorted in an ascending order. Having to scroll down all 259 episodes just to get to the one you want is not on. The previous one was working just fine. Latest episodes on top. 4. Streaming doesn't update watched

The app used to work amazingly well but until the past few weeks I can't watch anything using the app no matter what time of the day and the strength of the Internet connection. I have 3 routers from 3 different data service providers and yet I can't watch anything because it's just a blank screen I will be looking at. My app is up to date, I have cleared the cache and my dstv subscription is very much active. Please fix the problem.

One of the most useless apps on my phone, next to the "my dstv app". For almost a year, I've not been able to access dstv stream app on my phone. I've updated, deleted, downloaded again, contacted their customer care, all to no avail. With the amount of money dstv is extorting from us, we shouldn't be going through all these stress with them..... VERY USELESS AND ANNOYING!!!!!
