'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, 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, SABC1, 2 and 3, the privately owned terrestrial channel e.tv is also available to subscribers in South Africa. These are not available to subscribers elsewhere, for rights reasons, although they receive the SABC Africa channel.
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, most recently having introduced its own Personal Video Recorder (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.
DStv also has separate 'bouquets' of channels in Portuguese, German, and Indian languages.
''Note: DStv changes their channel structure from time to time, all channels will move to three digit locations from 1 October 2007''
