Why is Dstv Now not showing all channels?

When this happens, there are normally two predominant reasons:

  • Expired subscription
  • Poor internet connectivity

The first thing you should check should be your internet connection. Be sure your data is turned on and your internet is working properly.

If your internet is fine, you still won’t get all channels if your subscription has expired. Check to see if you still have an active subscription and restart the app to try again. A poor internet connection can cause you to see a blank screen when you attempt to view a channel.

Also, if you have just paid for a package, you have to wait for activation instructions to reach your account before all the channels can show up on the app.

If your DStv Now is not working, it could be caused by several reasons. It could be your internet connection. Ensure you have good internet connectivity on your device before attempting to use the app.

Your DStv Now not working could also be caused by an expired or inactive subscription. Check your account to make sure you still have an active subscription. If you just made a payment, ensure the package has been activated, then restart the app to start streaming.
