South Africans can now enjoy DStv on two devices at the same time! MultiChoice has officially brought back the second stream, giving you more flexibility to watch your favorite shows, sports, and movies.
This update applies to DStv Premium, Compact Plus, and Compact subscribers, including those using smart TVs.
Why Is This a Big Deal?
Three years ago, MultiChoice restricted streaming to just one device, which frustrated many customers. But now, they’ve listened and made a change that makes entertainment better for everyone.
Byron du Plessis, CEO of MultiChoice South Africa, said:"With shifting viewing habits and growing connectivity, it’s the right time to bring back the second stream to supplement our overall value proposition."
More Flexibility & Better Entertainment Experience
DStv Premium customers now get two DStv streams and two Showmax streams—a total of four streams at the same time!
DStv Compact customers also get two DStv streams, plus an option to add Showmax at a discount, giving them four streaming options in total.
DStv Stream standalone users can now also enjoy two streams on any device.
Why This Change?
DStv understands that people watch TV differently now. Families want the freedom to stream on personal devices, and this update makes it easier to enjoy content without interruptions.
