  • MultiChoice has rolled out an update to improve the user interface (UI) of its DStv app.
  • The DStv app can be accessed via DStv Explora Ultra decoder, Smart TV sets, Android and Apple TV boxes.
  • DStv subscribers can now easily resume playing the remaining of an episode or the next episode in the series, like Netflix. 


MultiChoice says that it has completely updated the DStv app UI on these devices for "an improved viewing experience for our customers and a sleek new user interface that makes it easier for you to discover and enjoy the best in local and international content".

MultiChoice has now moved the on-screen navigation to the left of the screen, so DStv subscribers no longer have to navigate through extensive processes to find something to watch.

The navigation now also offers easier search options and personalised profiles.

"The Live TV experience now merges the TV Guide with the channel navigation," MultiChoice says. "This means you can now see what is showing across all channels for the rest of the day while still easily accessing your most recently watched channels. We've enhanced the TV Shows display with rich poster art as the background. You'll also find that episodes are now sorted in more logical lists with a separate view."

"The app also remembers where you stopped watching and allows you to easily resume playing either the remaining portion of an episode or the next episode in the series. Viewers can still add shows and movies directly to their watchlist," MultiChoice says.

Settings can now be accessed from the navigation, and all of the functions that were available in previous versions of the app remain the same.
