Three Reasons To Give The Remote Control A Night Off With Remote Viewing

The 21st century has been great for lovers of entertainment. Not too long ago, the whole family had to gather around a box to watch something together – and if you didn’t want to watch what was on offer or what everyone else was watching, too bad.

With the digital age, it’s a whole new world of viewing pleasure on your terms. Consumption of sports, series and movies is no longer linear like it was in the past, hence we’ve rounded up the three best reasons to make sure you get on the remote viewing revolution – and how to do so:

Beat the commuting blues

Because you can watch DStv shows and movies anywhere, thanks to a few clever Apps, you can make previously unpleasant spaces enjoyable. Like the morning traffic jam or the commute in a taxi to work. And when you go on holiday at the end of the year, you can rest easy knowing you can still catch up on your favourite shows – anywhere in the country or world.

Minimise family tension

Picture yourself getting home from a long day, looking forward to unwinding in front of your favourite series binge – the prize at the end that kept you going the past few hours. You put your feet up – only to be notified that the kids or significant other are watching some other show already. This is more reason to upgrade. As a premium subscriber, you can maintain your sanity, peace in the family while keeping up with your viewing pleasure at the same time. If you’re watching on different devices, you can have multiple people in the house catching up with their favourites on the same account, at the same time.

Don’t let PHCN get you down

Remote viewing is great for everyone, but it’s especially great for those of us who are not strangers to power outages. Don’t be in the dark about your favourite shows – you can still watch DStv and ShowMax even with no power! With the DStv Now App, you can download your favourite shows and movies before the lights go out, then keep yourself happily entertained during the outage.
