Here is the link on how to play Dstv Now on your Amazon firestick 4k without google play services and play store.

 
Tried it last night, works well enough ... , tho I use my LIT TV box for DSTV, mostly. The Fire TV stick for other IPTV services.

The difference between the two platforms regarding DStvNow, navigation,TV guide etc.?
 
Looks and works same as if you used it via a browser on a computer. Which is to say pretty much the same as using the app, just that you need a mouse to navigate it, easily.

App is probably more TV box "friendly ", but it is a good alternative to the app.
 
Would have appreciated it if you subscribed as well:):) I need 4000 subscribers on my channel.

Hmmm .... :)

Is there a way to have Firefox auto log in?

How do you add a shortcut for DSTV to Firefox?

Then I might subscribe to you channel.

Why? Why not just use the LIT box?

Have you not had any luck installing the DSTV app directly on the firestick? That's how I used to do it.

DSTV, keep effing things up, being the idiots they are.

Also do not understand what there issues with the Amazon Fire TV devices are, other than they do not want to spend money to develop a second app. But then there are enough issues with the current app, so maybe it is beyond their development team at present.

The LIT box stays at home, I travel on occasion.
 
Does DStvNow register the Fire Stick as a device, when using a desktop version of a browser?

It wouldn't really be a second app - most android apps can run on the Fire Stick. It's just that the Fire Stick isn't technically available in SA. Same thing with the Roku.

I travel with a Chromecast. Not the greatest of devices but it's easier to use than the Fire Stick

Only the developers of the DSTV Now app have chosen to bind it heavily to Google specific libraries that are not available on Amazon devices, thus negating the possibility of running it on Amazon devices.

Do not have a Chromecast, besides, I do not favour running an extra hardware device when it can and should be all done on a single device.

I only have a chromecast because I won one here. I only have a firestick because my dad left one behind for me when he was visiting. I doubt I'd buy either for myself. Since I only use the Chromecast when I'm travelling I don't mind having to use a secondary device - in fact it's not really different than having to use a remote.

Except after a days use you will need a power pack to make sure your phone does not die half way thru the show, or run it off of your charger.

PS: never won anything here or elsewhere - lucky bugger :)

There's no extra strain on the phone's battery when chromecasting. Always assumed there would be, but the phone is really just used like a remote.

Yeah, well, not so sure about that, but if you say so ... :)

PS: tell the MyBB folks I need to win a Chromecast, so I can play with one myself ... :laugh::laugh::popcorn::rolleyes::popcorn:

PPS: if I spot a Chromecast going cheap, will nab it to "play" with :)
