Ratings and reviews

Navigation is a NIGHTMARE. Netflix, YouTube, and even Apple TV have a better experience. Actually, they have a far superior experience overall. Even some free services offer a much better experience when navigating between live TV streams,, especially on a smart TV. The fact u must go out, try to find the next channel, try to position at the correct point, and cluck play is... WRONG in so many ways.

It's been two months and I haven't been able to watch anything on DStv stream. It keeps showing a blacked out screen with no sound and not even a buffering sign to prove that it's trying to show. No, it's not from my mobile network because I've been watching other streaming services and it's not about updating the app because I've done it twice. I'm on the latest version. I saw another review about this which wasn't acknowledged. This is very poor service provision on multichoice's part.

This app has really come a long way in the last year or 2. The whole interface feels fast, even on my TV box - way more optimised and stable compared to other streaming services. Channels and episodes load very quickly with decent quality. I've had many complaints regarding how bad this app has been over the years, and that kept me away from the service, but I can definitely say that it's now working to my expectation. I hope things stay this way.
