A quick question, is this app a standalone app where I can register, subscribe and stream or do I need a DStv dish before I can use the app? I am a Nigerian but not in Nigeria

App failure to start. For quite some time the app won't work on my phone. Shows logo then black screen then crashes. Even after multiple reinstalls and network changes

This is the worst streaming platform to deal with, whenever I want to use the app it only gives me 4 options of shows/movies to watch. I tried all the ways dstv said I should try to fix the app, but nothing happened it stayed the same. Dstv I hope you know how horrible of an app this is, it removes the enjoyment of the shows. AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE IS STILL ADS ON THIS APP!!! Y'all need to improve. Horrible app

Horrible experience I struggle to get my streaming package reconnected, after over 8 calls to the calls center then it was resolved. Today I upgraded to premium around 11am, 5pm my premium channels are not loaded, and I can't access anyone to help me
★☆☆☆☆Edward Amimo· Aug 19, 2026
The app used to have excellent picture clarity, but recently the quality has significantly deteriorated. Even after selecting the 4K/1080p quality option, the picture is still not clear. At first, I thought the issue was with my internet connection, but I’ve confirmed that other streaming apps are displaying very clear, high-quality video using the same connection. What could be causing this issue?
★☆☆☆☆Pieter Botha· Sep 6, 2026
Worst streaming service ever. You pay for premium but can't stream anything. Misleading advertisement.
