DStv has been around since 1995, serving over 40 countries in sub-Saharan Africa. They offer premium TV content, ranging from Premier League live matches to news and entertainment channels for the whole family (source: DStv Kenya website). Once you subscribe to any DStv packages in Kenya, you can stream online on a computer or mobile device at no extra cost.
DStv offers various decoders in Kenya for watching their content. The HD Zapper Decoder costs Ksh. 3,499 and comes with a 1-month DStv Family package. On the other hand, the DStv Explora decoder and a smart LNB cost Ksh. 10,499. The full kit, including the dish, costs Ksh. 13,499.
The DStv Explora decoder is also XtraView compatible, which means you can link it to another decoder within your home and share the same subscription. However, you’ll need to pay an extra access fee for each additional decoder connected.
