  1. I have installed DStv now following the approach above but it times out after about 30 seconds of watching. Is there any fix for this?

  2. Trying to enter url
    Error: Forbidden. Try using https if you used http

  3. I followed your instructions above and managed to intall the DSTV Now app onto my firestick but when I clieck the app icon it shows the DSTV Screen for little more than a second then goes back to firestick home screen.

    It there not something else that I need to do to install Google Play store?

    I’ve searched other ways an most of them say I should aso use downloader to install 4 Google play store files, but somehow downloader cannot access these file locations.

    • Yes, you’re right with that. We’re trying to find out new ways to install Google Play Services and DSTV for that matter. We will let you know once we figure it out. Thanks for letting us know.

  4. Just be careful with Google Play services. Installed it on my device a few months ago and it basically bricked my firestick which I had to reconfigure from scratch. I’m back to watching on a Firefox browser but have found it basiccally stops working after exactly 15mins (goes back to login screen) after which I can launch the DSTV Now shortcut again, choose who’s watching, select Live TV and watch the same program…annoying.

  5. Is there an update on this Google play services error that won’t download on firesticks?

  6. DJ O'kay Megamixer

    Please, can you confirm if this still works in August 2022? I installed it but couldn’t see beyond 10 channels. Are those all that could be viewed or is there something I didn’t do right?
