Digital Satellite Television (also known as DStv) is MultiChoice's multi-channel digital satellite TV service in Africa, launched in 1995. In South Africa and neighbouring countries, it broadcasts on Ku band via the Intelsat 7 and 10 satellite (PAS7 and PAS10), which only requires a small satellite dish, while several other countries in the rest of Africa receive broadcasts via both Ku band and C-Band which requires a larger 1.2m dish.

  • Digital Satellite Television (also known as DStv) is MultiChoice's multi-channel digital satellite TV service in Africa, launched in 1995. In South Africa and neighbouring countries, it broadcasts on Ku band via the Intelsat 7 and 10 satellite (PAS7 and PAS10), which only requires a small satellite dish, while several other countries in the rest of Africa receive broadcasts via both Ku band and C-Band which requires a larger 1.2m dish. Subscribers in South Africa also receive the South African Broadcasting Corporation's three terrestrial channels, SABC 1, 2 and 3 and the privately owned free-to-air terrestrial channel e. tv. These are not available to subscribers elsewhere, for rights reasons, although until August 1, 2008, they could receive the SABC Africa channel, until it was dropped by DStv due to poor performance. Other countries are also able to receive their terrestrial channels, including TV Uganda and TV Mozambique. In each case for rights reasons these terrestrial channels are not available to subscribers outside the 'home' countries. DStv has numerous products and services, in 2005 introduced its own Personal Video Recorder (PVR). On 24 July 2008 they introduced the High Definition Personal Video Recorder (HD PVR) which allows the subscriber to record DStv's content. This functionality is similar to that found on set-top Digital Video Recorder units in other countries, such as Britain's Sky+ PVR. However, neither of these systems allow viewers to download or archive the recorded content.
  • Digital Satellite Television (eher bekannt unter DStv) ist das digitale Mehrkanal-Bezahlfernseh-Angebot von MultiChoice in Afrika. Der Betrieb begann 1995. Es wird im südlichen Afrika auf Ku band gesendet. Zum Empfang ist lediglich eine relativ kleine Satelliten-Empfangsanlage nötig. Andere Länder in Afrika empfangen DStv über Ku band und C-Band für dessen Empfang eine größere Anlage erforderlich ist. In Südafrika können ebenfalls die drei öffentlich-rechtlichen Sender der South African Broadcasting Corporation, namentlich SABC1, SABC2 und SABC3 sowie der Privatsender e. tv digital empfangen werden. In anderen Ländern können Abonnenten lediglich SABC Africa empfangen. Gleiches gilt z. B. auch für den öffentlich-rechtlichen Sender Namibias, Namibia Broadcasting Corporation (NBC), der nur in Namibia empfangen werden kann. DStv gilt als eines der innovativsten und modernsten Bezahlfernseh-Angebote weltweit. Hierzu zählt unter anderem der Personal Video Recorder (PVR), der gleichzeitiges Aufnehmen und Abspielen von Sendungen erlaubt. DStv bietet neben dem Standard-Bouquet auch ein portugiesisches sowie indisches Bouquet bereit. Das deutsche Bouquet wurde 2007 eingestellt.
  • DStv (acronimo di Digital Satellite TeleVision) è stata una piattaforma televisiva di Telepiù per la televisione digitale satellitare. La piattaforma era a pagamento e destinata al mercato italiano. DStv è stata la prima piattaforma televisiva a pagamento per la televisione satellitare destinata al mercato italiano, in ordine di tempo, e la seconda piattaforma televisiva a pagamento destinata al mercato italiano, dopo TELE+, sempre in ordine di tempo. DStv è stata inoltre la prima piattaforma televisiva a pagamento per la televisione digitale satellitare attivata in Europa, soltanto un anno e mezzo dopo la statunitense DirecTV, la prima piattaforma televisiva a pagamento per la televisione digitale satellitare attivata nel mondo. Altri due primati di DStv riguardano il calcio e la pay per view. Nel settembre 1996, infatti, per la prima volta è possibile vedere in diretta tutte le partite di calcio di Serie A. Le singole partite sono acquistabili anche in pay per view: si tratta della prima offerta di pay per view rivolta al mercato italiano.
  • DStv is een benaming voor de satellietontvanger in Zuidelijk Afrika (het staat dan ook voor digitale satelliet-televisie). Het werd opgericht in 1995. In Zuid-Afrika en in de buurlanden van Zuid-Afrika wordt het uitgezonden via de ku-Band, hierdoor heeft men slechts een kleine satellietschotel nodig, de rest van Afrika ontvangt het via de C-Band. Abonnees in Zuid-Afrika ontvangen ook de Zuid-Afrikaanse televisiezenders SABC 1, 2 en 3. Deze zenders zijn niet beschikbaar in de omringende landen, dit heeft te maken met de uitzendrechten per land, de rest van Afrika kan echter wel SABC Africa ontvangen. DStv heeft ook aparte boeketten voor anderstalige kanalen, zo zijn er Portugese, Duitse, en Indische boeketten.
