DSTV is a South African company. It is a leading Satellite cable TV network Africa.

These are your requirements in order to receive DSTV channels:

-         You will need to be a subscriber

-         Subscribers require a satellite dish

-         You will need a decoder, remote control and a smart card

Once you have these requirements, you can now move forward. Now, back to the main topic.

After paying for the subscription, just insert your smart card in your decoder. This will enable the decoder to decode the encrypted TV signals.

Most DSTV decoders have a PVR feature (PVR means Personal Video Recording). This development gives you the opportunity to record live TV programmes, you can even record up to about 70 hours of a live programme.

The DSTV decoder gives you the leverage opportunity to pause live programmes. The system has inbuilt instant replay abilities. Another interesting issue is the ability for you to rewind and fast-forward live TV.
