Hi
I would like to run the DSTV Now app available from the play store from an Android tv box. Is this possible and what is the best hardware to get?
Thanks
Andrew

Hi,

Yes it is possible but certain Android boxes will give you device ID errors. I have 2 Android boxes, the DSTV Now app works perfectly on the Q7 CS918 box but on the DroidTV MG582 it gives me device ID errors when I want to register the device.

The Supersport streaming app does work on both of them though.

You can stream via webpage now too.

Also if your device is not officially supported, it could stop working at any time as they make changes, happend with one of mine.

It's very good lately. The app had some issue last year but that all has been sorted out. I have a 20mb line which helps and can't comment on the quality with lower dsl speed.
