DStv rebrands DStv Now to DStv Stream. Introduces a 2nd stream for streaming-only subscribers from Access to Premium - for an additional fee - and a streaming-only option for Easy View. According to MultiChoice, app enhancements include tailored content discovery, simpler user interface, sports tournament pages and multi-lingual sports commentary in isiZulu, isiXhosa, Portuguese, Afrikaans and English. No notable changes for satellite subscribers as far as we can see.
