Senior Software Developer

I work on the DStv Now project: a service offering online streaming for linear and video on demand to DStv customers.

I am responsible for creating new features, maintaining the website and supporting customer queries escalated from a Command Centre agent.

DStv Now

DStv Now Video on Demand

DStv Now is entertainment on the go – online, on your smartphone or tablet. Watch live TV, search for your favourite show on the DStv Guide, stream or download DStv Catch Up shows and movies, and even manage your DStv account. Available on selected packages – it’s your DStv to watch wherever you are, when you’re ready.

DStv Now Stream Restriction Limitation

To enforce as rule provided by legal, we restrict viewing for that customer once the condition has been met. This allows a certain number of concurrent streams to play for a user while any further stream playback is restricted.

DStv Now Live TV Channels

On DStv Now, under the Live TV tab, all the channels for the users' subscription package is displayed.

DStv Now Playing

Now playing River Season 1 Episode 27. When the user clicks on a poster image of a movie or series or a channel in Live TV the user is redirected to a page that allows them to play said asset or channel.
