DStv Stream 6.7.11

DStv Stream is how MultiChoice puts DStv on screens that never had a dish pointed at them.

It carries the same channels your package already pays for, plus catch-up and downloads.

The app itself is free, and there are now streaming-only packages, so a decoder is optional.

What DStv Stream Actually Does

Sign in with your DStv Connect ID and the app builds your channel list from the package you pay for. Live TV, the TV guide, catch-up and recordings all sit in one place.

You can register up to five devices on one account, and download up to 25 shows to watch offline. DStv says you can watch on your TV and stream on two other devices at the same time.

If you have no DStv subscription at all, you can still sign up for free and watch a small selection of free live channels.

You No Longer Need a Decoder

Since 17 September 2026, every DStv package in South Africa has a streaming-only price, starting at R30 a month for EasyView and running to R799 for Premium. Sport sits at R399 and Movies & Series at R500.

Any package can also be split between two people, which halves what each pays. Prices differ in Nigeria, Kenya and the other countries DStv serves, so check the price on DStv's own site before you sign up.

Which File to Download

There are two separate DStv apps for Android, and both are here. Pick the one that matches your screen.

The TV build will not install on a phone, and the phone app is clumsy with a remote, so a mix-up shows straight away. Both are XAPK files, which need an installer app rather than a plain tap, and our guide on how to install an XAPK file walks you through it.

What Is New in DStv Stream 6.1.14

• A redesigned home page and show pages, with trailers that start playing on their own.
• Better search by title, actor or genre.
• Cast and crew pages, where you can tap an actor to see their other work and follow them in My Stuff.

Where It Runs

Besides the two Android files above, there are apps for iPhone and iPad (iOS 15 or newer), Samsung TVs (Tizen 4.0+), LG (webOS 4.0+), Hisense (VIDAA U3+), Apple TV, Xbox and DStv's own Streama and Explora Ultra boxes.

On a computer, there is nothing to install - the website plays the same channels in a browser.

What It Will Not Do

It is not an IPTV player. There is no way to load an M3U playlist or an Xtream Codes login into it, and DStv channels cannot be added to a player such as TiviMate.

Live TV and catch-up are also geo-blocked to the countries DStv serves, so the app stops playing live channels when you travel outside them.

Our guide on watching DStv on IPTV covers both limits in full, including what to use instead.

Who Should Look Elsewhere

The tell is simple: if you have no DStv account and you are not in a country DStv serves, this app has almost nothing to show you.

For free public channels, browse our IPTV Channel Finder or read the free IPTV playlist guide.

If you already have a playlist from a provider, a real player like IPTV Smarters Pro is the better download, and our free IPTV players roundup compares the options.

Installing It Safely

Take it from Google Play, your TV's own store, or the file on this page. Anything advertised as a modded, cracked or premium-unlocked DStv app is a pirate build, and a well-known way to pick up malware.

If you already have an APK from somewhere else, run it through our APK Checker first to see what permissions it asks for. Our guide on spotting a pirate IPTV service explains why those builds keep appearing.
