Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: DStv Stream at 4.5 against HKJC TV's 3.5. DStv Stream also leads on review sentiment (36% vs 6%) and ratings volume (13K vs 13). HKJC TV's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
