last few bugs,\u201d DStv Digital Media CEO John Kotsaftis said at the time.<\/p>\n<p>The DStv Now app offers DStv Premium subscribers with personal video recording (PVR) access, the ability to watch DStv Catch Up content on their mobile devices, and lets them stream a number of channels live over the Internet.<\/p>\n<p>Among the channels available for live streaming through DStv Now include the SuperSport channels, M-Net, and the M-Net movie channels.<\/p>\n<p>DStv subscribers with PVR access and an online DStv Explora are also able to set recordings on their decoder through\u00a0the app, using the record button in the full 8-day TV guide.<\/p>\n<p>The Android version of the DStv Now application supports Android 4.1 \u201cJelly Bean\u201d to Android 4.4.4 \u201cKitKat\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Support for Android 5.0 is coming soon, the listing for the application on Google Play promises.<\/p>\n<p>DStv Now for iOS requires at least iOS 7.0, and the iTunes App Store listing states that the app is optimised for iPhone 5.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_114133\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a  data-lightbox=\"post-image\"
