The Universal+ streaming service launches today, 14 October 2022, in partnership with DStv, and it is free to access for DStv subscribers in South Africa.<\/p>\n

NBCUniversal and DStv first announced that the Universal+ streaming service would launch<\/a><\/strong> in partnership with DStv on 1 September 2022.<\/p>\n

DStv said the streaming service offers subscribers a selection of complete box sets and movies from Universal TV, Studio Universal, E!, DreamWorks, and Telemundo.<\/p>\n

As long as you are subscribed to DStv Access or higher, you will get access to content through Universal+ from at least one of these channels at no extra charge.<\/p>\n

“If you’re wondering why you can’t see some of the programmes on Universal+, that’s because the content is available for the channel brands that are included on your DStv package,” MultiChoice said in a statement<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Essentially, the content available to subscribers on Universal+ scales with their DStv package, meaning DStv Access customers can stream complete series from Telemundo using the service.<\/p>\n

However, these customers won’t have access to content from Universal TV, Studio Universal, E!, and DreamWorks.<\/p>\n

Those with a DStv Family subscription can watch content from the Universal Channel and DreamWorks on Universal+, while subscribers to DStv Compact and above will have access to the full selection.<\/p>\n

In addition to these channels, DStv said all seasons of shows like Celebrity Game Night, Family Drama, and Keeping Up with the Kardashians are available on Universal+.<\/p>\n
