Want to watch DStv Now outside of Africa? Just like Hulu doesn’t work outside the US, and DAZN is limited to several regions around the world, DStv Now does not work outside the continent of Africa.
There is a way to watch DStv Now outside of Africa, and we will go through it in this guide, but spoiler alert, it’s tougher than the steps in most of our guides, because of the main limitation of DStv.
DAZN, Hulu, Disney Plus, and so on all have a geo-block on card payments.
...If your card is not issued in the region of the platform, you can’t get an account.
But there are ways to bypass this block.
When it comes to DStv, it’s a little bit different, though.
That’s because DStv now is essentially just a platform that lets people that already have DStv, watch their content online.
...And getting a TV subscription designed for the continent of Africa, if you aren’t on the continent of Africa, that is hard.
The solutions?
This is the hardest part of the guide, but once you figured it out, it’s relatively simple.
The key to watching DStv Now outside of Africa is to unblock it.
That’s because DStv is able to show a lot of content in Africa that it is not able to show outside of the continent because other companies already have right to show it.
...Thus, the service needs to make efforts to prevent people from watching easily, as otherwise, it would get in trouble.
By making a service think that you are in the continent of Africa, when in reality, you aren’t, will allow you to bypass this block.
Here’s how to do it⬇️
We already mentioned that to watch DStv, you are going to need to make DStv think you are in Africa.
In this example, we are going to try to make it look like we are in South Africa.
How do you make yourself look like that?
By using a VPN.
A VPN service will allow you to change your location virtually in 2-clicks.
Although, it’s not that simple as just connecting to a server in South Africa and watching.
DStv also has to take measures against VPN services, meaning they don’t work.
...This is where PrivateVPN comes in, as a service that won’t blow you away as far as the number of servers is concerned. It doesn’t come with thousands of servers like some other services. Instead, it offers servers that can unblock entertainment platforms like DStv, Hulu, DAZN, Hotstar, and much more.
...But that’s something you can find out for yourself when you sign up for PrivateVPN’s 7-day free trial with no need for a card.
Here’s what you need to do:
...And that's it. You are in and can watch DStv Now.
Unfortunately, most smart TVs and TV platforms like Apple TV, Chromecast, and Roku simply don’t support VPN services.
Due to that, it’s hard to watch DStv Now on TV.
Of course, like with anything, though, there are solutions.
With PrivateVPN, you will unblock much more than just DStv Now outside of Africa.
You will also unblock services like Hulu, Hotstar, Disney Plus, and much much more, which you can find out for yourself with the help of our guides and when trying out the 7-day trial with no need for a card, or hop straight into a subscription.

Disclaimer: While PrivateVPN supports DStv, just like with any service, no VPN is able to guarantee non-stop 100% of the time support, due to the fact services are always making efforts against VPN services.
