Always having issues. Don't know if it's the app or just dstv in general. The worst is when you trying to watch something on catch up and only the ad plays, the episode doesn't even load. You close and open and again just the ad plays. I guess that's where the money lies, never mind the customer that's also paying for a service. Get Netflix instead.

Something always seem to "go wrong" I have "reached my streaming limit" ,and I cant "stream on two devices at the same time",yet i'm the only one thats streaming,the other day it just gave me sound but no picture the whole day,and the list goes on,if one could stream a show from start to end,it would be an achievement! honestly,using this app is just a frustrating experience, a convenient on-the-go app that just makes you wanna throw your phone against the wall.....

Can't download any movies on catch up. Escargot is faster than its speed of download. I have an optic fibre network that can stream 4k YouTube without lagging. I will not subscribe if this current expired. Will go back to Netflix and subscribe another decoder for sports.

Great app apart from the inability to cast from my iPhone to Chromecast
The app is great in that I can watch anything on the go and the video quality is excellent. It is very easy to use and streams quite consistently. I just don’t know why I can’t seem to cast the app to chromecast. I constantly get the message on my tv screen; sorry, there was a problem playing the video. All the while the cast icon on the top right of my screen is still connected to chromecast. Would like any suggestions from the developer as how to resolve this. Since this is a feature the app has I am disappointed it doesn’t work as it limits what I would like to do that is the reason for my rating. I understand everyone has different uses and if one wants to primarily just stream on the phone or other handheld devices then this does just that brilliantly. -
It had been excellent for a few months, until recently, when all hell broke loose. Whenever i log in and then just quit to do other things, or even on tv, i change to viewing normal tv, when i come back all i can get is channel 100 for dish channel,,, am forced to log out, then log in again, and its somehow now becoming boring and inconvenient. My attempts to seek assistance from your customer care, has been as fruitless as the app itself. It really sucks!!

Always “No Content” after the first view.
You delete app you reinstall it you sign in and then you view. The second attempt to view gives you a message - no content. Then you repeat whole cycle Very frustrating -
Hate it
Hate it so much every time I go on there and try to watch something it says internet is not working when it’s working perfectly fine -

App keeps crashing
App keeps crashing when you access the TV guide -
All channels not showing
Sometimes the app works perfectly with all the channels showing. But if you close the app for about 30 minutes and come back the only channel available would be the dish. What I usually do when this happens is to delete the app and reinstall it. This usually works but now when I do it, it still only shows the dish.

I have been using this app for a while now, and for the most part it was nothing short of perfect.. but after my most recent update of the app I've experienced some problems.. when I'm midway through watching a show it just pops up a message saying the streaming limit has been riched, and then it kicks me out.. but my phone is the only one registered on the account. And the only other device the account is connected to is the TV. I don't understand how this keeps occurring. Please get back to me

Only in AFRICA???
I lived my whole life in Nigeria and recently just moved to the US and I want to keep watching the Nigerian shows I usually watch and also the Bollywood shows on Zee world. Now that being said I tried to sign up so I could continue watching my beloved shows, instead of me chilling right now and watching Zee world, I find out that it’s not available for people outside of Africa and that is extremely heartbreaking and disappointing -
Schedule recording from app unavailable
Why don’t I have the remote recording button on my app. I used to have in the past but now I don’t. I tried deleting app and its data, logging in again, etc but it does not appear. I am losing money paying access fee as this is one feature I need. Advice. For this and a crappy customer care, I give a two. -
App not working on VPN
I’ve spent hours waiting for someone to assist on LiveChat and problem is still not solved. It worked erratically for a while, now refuses to stream via app or browser when on VPN. I travel a lot and it’s hugely frustrating to pay all that subscription and not have access to shows etc when outside the country. What’s going on??

Not great
I agree with the other reviews. App is not great. Is has great potential however. Too many poor streaming experiences to my apple tv. Lots of freezing and stuttering. Wish it worked better. Also, apple tv app is still missing which is a massive gap from a development point of view. 6 May review: After the update for the previous version i could for the first time since using the app airplay an entire episode without constant buffering / freezing etc. So step in right direction. However it was inconsistent. Sometimes it worked and other times i could not even airplay anything. Lets see what this latest version does. 11 May review: Yup. Back to the old days. Cannot airply to apple tv without constant freezing / stuttering / no sound etc. Cannot even watch properly on lowest quality setting on my phone. Showmax works perfectly, maybe learn from them?
