Amazing app. Works great for me. The best thing i love about this app is that i am able to stream live games on supersport. To me all other live channels and dstv catch up is just bonus. If you have a problem with this app please go to dstv live chat and you will be sorted. They helped me to link my smartcard to the app after it gave me "unknown error occurred "

Uli Prinsloo

Kak app. Al I get is unexpected error. Full strength signal. YouTube even works. Terrible that we pay DSTV so much moneyin one month, so this app is supposed to work. Even the supersport app tells me to check my network connection. Funny how the movie channels works but not sport.

Chino Darling

It doesn't wotk.Can't go in.Can't do nothing.At over a R1000 a month,this is mediocre to say the least. Does Imtiaz Patel even give any of these products a test?Being a person of such high standards,it is appaling that this is the standard of products under him. Respect your customers.

Mario Gouws

Pathetic! Uninstalling and reinstalling, still the app does not work. This is super pathetic! Along with the Supersport app that gives an unkown error. My Saturday started wonderful. Thank you absolutely nothing! PATHETIC!!!

Chris Warnock

Why doesn't live TV work anymore on a weekend of sport??? Just comes up telling me to check my internet connection which is perfectly fine with Netflix and showmax....fix this please and I will change my review

Andrew Crean

Useless: live TV won't work on a rooted device. Perhaps the Developer could explain why this isn't an option? Edit: Developer was kind enough to respond and explain the legal limitations for using on a rooted device.

Hi Andrew, Rooted devices do not provide secure video decryption environment and we are obliged to block them for legal reasons. In terms of disabling bloatware, some apps can be disabled in Settings / Application manager. Alternatively, you can try flashing your phone with official, unbranded firmware (no root required). Thanks.

Riaan Koekemoer September 15, 2017

I cant even open the app as it goes back to home screen om my S7!!! Very disappointing.

Kalu Uma September 18, 2017

Good app but I have two main issues with it. 1. It won't let me stream on two devices at the same time. 2. The catch-up videos are not in HD. Some live shows even have better picture quality than those catch-up vids. Update: thanks for the response. I look forward to a cooler app.

MultiChoice Support Services (Pty) Ltd September 18, 2017

Hi Kalu, Thanks for the feedback! We are constantly working on improving streaming quality. We have already migrated LiveTV to use better quality streams. Same improvements will be coming to CatchUp content soon! Kind regards.

Matthew Phillips September 16, 2017

I updated the app this morning because it was saying that I had no internet connection (Facebook was working) and now when I try and open the app it keeps crashing!!! What a waste

Horror movie! This is the only app I know that works 1 out of 10 times! Very bad indeed

Jaco de Clerck September 20, 2017

After updating my half of my sport channels do not load, i just get the processing wheel. I do not watch soccer and yet they are the only channels working. Also, there is a slight lag on the picture where it stops for a split second and continues, this is very irritating. you previous version was much better Answer to your question : I do not recall which version was running the best i can do is tell you it was the latest one just before showmax was included in the menu bar in the home screen to the left. I have reverted to 1.30.4 and it works 100% I have downloaded all the available apk's and will be testing each one to pinpoint which one is best to use except the 1.40.xx versions as i believe they are faulty somehow. I do not believe it is my job to do this though and your development team should be doing the invetigating

MultiChoice Support Services (Pty) Ltd September 21, 2017

Hi Jaco, Thanks for the feedback. We are also testing those apks as we speak. There were 3rd party components updates in 1.40.x branch and we suspect they're causing streaming issues. We will try to provide fix asap. Kind regards.

September 18, 2017

What is [502] Registration error? 18/09/2017 Multichoice was kind enough to reply my query. NO, the error is no more. You're back to 5 stars. Keep up the good work.

MultiChoice Support Services (Pty) Ltd September 18, 2017

Hi. Are you still experiencing that error? Kind regards.

miguel conceicao September 18, 2017

Karabo Moses September 18, 2017

I love the new look and its easier to navigate through. Thanx guys. I just wish that we can have that option to upgrade and downgrade whenever we needed to, of course dstv will charge per day according to which channels you have. Please guys. But i love this app more.

dean dollenberg September 16, 2017

Used to work great but can stream live sport on an important sporting weekend. Just says check your internet connection. Very very frustrated.

Etienne Harris September 14, 2017

Bailey Ram September 20, 2017

Finally got it right! The annoying "please link account" error message is no more and the app works on my tablet, albeit a little glitchy. This is a vast improvement from the horrible previous update.

MultiChoice Support Services (Pty) Ltd September 18, 2017

Hi, Would you be so kind and contact dstvnow@support.dstv.com for support with account creation / registration? Thank you and kind regards.

David Kayode September 14, 2017

The app is great but I'm unhappy as I am unable to watch champions league even with a premium subscription.... Pls return S5 and S6... Thank you

MultiChoice Support Services (Pty) Ltd September 18, 2017

Hi David, Is there any specific error you are experiencing? Kind regards.

Predesan Moodley September 17, 2017

Worst streaming app I have ever used....Rather invest in Showmax or Netflix. Better quality at less than a quarter of the price of DSTV.

Songezo mganto September 14, 2017

Wow i just like this app it is amazing it's like now i can catch "live" any tv channel which i am guaranteed to watch just wish it can also work off line as it kills the Data so badly, beside that i like this app 😘

Lyle J Muller September 14, 2017

Johan De Jager September 17, 2017

With the new update, the app does not open. It automatically closes if you try to open it. And de installing and re installing the app does not work

MultiChoice Support Services (Pty) Ltd September 18, 2017

Hi Johan, Would you be so kind and confirm you managed to uninstall the app completely first? It seems that uninstalling and installing the app from scratch helps all the other users. We are aware of this problem and that it affects a certain % of users, and we will try to solve asap. Thanks.

Stephan Joubert September 21, 2017

Since the new update the app keeps on crashing! It doesn't even let me open the app! For almost a R1000 per month, I am very vert disgusted!

Was working well, upgraded and couldn't even open it again. It's not a must to release a higher version when you don't know what to do.
