The DSTV Now app allows users to stream millions of programs, movies and series. All that is required is for the user to have an Android 4.1 or a higher version.

DStv Now allows DStv subscribers to watch their favourite channels online. Rather than employing a decoder, viewers can catch up on shows or live-stream content using their smartphones, laptops, and other internet-connected devices.

Can I Use DSTV Now In South Africa And Overseas?

Yes, if you are in South Africa, you will be able to use the DSTV Now app. Unfortunately, if and when you are outside the domains of South Africa, you will not be able to use the app as it is geo-resricted to South Africa.

As a result, to watch DSTV Now from abroad, you must spoof your location. You will be able to do so by using Unlocator.

The User must have a valid Connect ID or be a person authorized by the Customer to access DStv Now and complete the registration process to access DStv Now.

Can You Change The Language On DStv Now App?

The DStv Now App has not made it permissible for users to change the language setting to suit their preferences. So in a case where the language used on the app does not sit well with them, they will not have the liberty to change it to what they want.

However, there are changes you can make to the decoder itself which includes the language setting. Fortunately, Language is not the only thing you can change. When watching TV, you can change the language, the aspect ratio, and a host of others. You can also change the order of the items on the screen or the display while in the menus.

Once these changes are made on the decoder, it will not reflect on the DStv Now app. Even with the decoder, you are not privy to change entirely the language setting as they are some shows you cannot change the language.
