Hi Everyone,

I'm in a confused mood right now. I want to get an Android mobile phone but I'm not too sure if any of them support DSTV Mobile? Does anyone have any info relating to this.

All Android and Symbian phones that have wifi will be able to use the drifta to access DSTV mobile, so basically the drifta will be like the decoder and send the signal to the application on your phone via wifi where you will be watching it.

Thats not quite correct. Your device just having wifi does not qualify it to work with the drifta, you still need an app for the iphone or a software to be installed on your PC for it to work. DSTV do not have this app yet for the android devices so they are not supported even for the Nokia and black berry fones with wifi, it won't work.

You have to get an IOS enabled device to use the drifta (Ipod, iphone and Ipad) or better still get one of the DVB-H compactible nokia phones and use it w/out the drifta.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Chuck, I thought as much after reading ebizguy's reply. I was thinking that there might be a DVB-H compatible phone that uses Android OS. I don't think any Nokia phone does for now.

Thanks again
