I don't know what is happening, but I'm having a serious problem with my DStv stream. I can't access the app; it's giving me a hard time. Can this be fixed, please? 🥺

So easy for me to use. It's comforting to know that I can always watch my tv shows on the go. Well done dstv.
★★☆☆☆Wesley Oliver· Jul 24, 2026
Parental say and I agree with them. Interface lacks the ability to easily navigate between channels and pre-scroll what's showing while watching a channel. No channel up or down smarttv remotes, quick jump for 4 cols x 16 rows blocks or popup digit panel, type/select channel numbers sequence, hit ok missing. Just like u do in a decoder. Sports streaming kaka, interlace 4 blury balls on a screen, cant watch it. 20gb quality for sport at 45/60fps needed, bodies arms legs tel porting. YouTube rocks

One of if not the worst apps I've ever used, constantly had to reset and create new accounts to even watch on this app. Constant lag and the screen that kept freezing, aswell as poor video quality despite good internet and signal. And now with my account I'm only allowed to have 4 channels and all the options like movies, TV shows and sports aren't available. DSTV became such a disappointment and no wonder everyone is leaving it.
