Self-distancing might be a little less hard to deal with now that DStv has made five extra channels available to packages all the way down to Access.

These include new channel Africanews (channel 417), CNN (channel 401), Da Vinci (channel 318), Nickelodeon (channel 305) and SuperSport 7 (channel 207). 

What’s more, some of the channels that feature on online streaming service DStv Now will be accessible to everyone – DStv customer or not.

This incredible service is to ensure that the whole country has easy access to accurate information about COVID-19.

The great thing is that DStv Now can be accessed from your smartphone, tablet, smart TV or laptop. 

The channels that can be viewed for free are: BBC World News; CNN; Sky News; eNCA; SABC News; Newzroom Afrika and Euronews. In addition, you will be able to view People’s Weather;  SuperSport Play; PBS Kids; Channel O and TBN, as well as episodes of some of South Africa’s best-loved soapies for free, including Igazi, The River, Isibaya, Binnelanders, Suidooster and Die Ware Naarheid.
