There are only two things that you need.
1. Connect ID (this is linked to a DStv Premium account)
You don’t need a subscription if you can get a Connect ID from a friend or your family.
You will need this to login to http://now.dstv.com/ via your web browser or the APP on your tablet/mobile/ipad.
DStv Now iTunes APP: Click Here
DStv Now Google Play: Click Here
2. VPN Service
This is what you use to connect via a server in South Africa so that you can watch from anywhere in the world. I have tested a few and can highly recommend HIDE MY ASS! as a VPN provider.
Setup is easy, the service is reliable and fast and it is inexpensive. They have tutorials for every device and apps for phones and tables.
You have 1, 6 and 12 month package options giving you the option to try before you buy.
