However, with the stiff competition from every corner, especially from streaming service providers such as Netflix, one question remains: Should you subscribe to DStv packages in Kenya? In this Guide, we will walk you through all that you need to know about DStv

What is DStv Kenya?

DStv Kenya is a pay Satellite television model that has become a daring choice for entertainment for most Kenyan families due to the many channels and packages it offers. DStv came to Kenya in 1995 due to partnerships between the Multichoice Group and Kenya Broadcasting Corporation.

The Multichoice group is the same parent company that owns DStv in Kenya, Showmax, and GOtv. To use the Platform’s service in Kenya, one must own a decoder and pay for the package of choice. Additionally, DStv has launched its streaming services in Kenya, dubbed DStv now, to try and compete with Streaming Giants such as Netlfix and Viusasa, which have led to a decline in its Subscriber base.
