DStv cracking down on password sharing

Published on


Add Smile FM on Google

From 22 March, DStv subscribers will no longer be able to live stream DStv content on more than 1 device at the same time.

DStv is not limiting the number of people using a single login – however only one person will be able to use the streaming service at a time.

Users will still be able to watch previously downloaded content on a second device.

In a statement on their website, DStv says the move is aimed at counteracting password sharing and piracy.
