DSTV mobile android device

[marine1]

Anyone using it?
Is it worth getting if you are already on premium?

What do you think?

Thanks

 

[sonsnell]

No its not worth it to go and download it

I assume you referring to the drifta app or the dstv guide?
I'm using it on my galaxy tab. It works fine provided you using the wifi as Internet. If you are using your 3g on your device then it becomes irritating. The streaming quality is ***.

Hi Marine

Are you referring to the wifi-drifta or the mobile drifta (which you plug into your android device's USB slot)?

I think he means the device you plug into the android device.

Only worth it for live sport, when you are out and about or at the office.

I am unashamedly watching the Oscar trial as well :O

Don't need a drifta, you can use the Supersport app for that. I'm guessing that if you're technologically advanced enough to have drifta that you'll have a supersport app compatible device of course.

The only issue would be data usage. Once again I'm assuming you'd be in an uncapped wifi scenario (office example)

I think you can only stream on the ipad app. Not the Android app.

Supersport app on Android?

Yep. No live streams currently (because it's 8am) but here are highlights for example. Resolution varies. Streams full screen at times. This is on a 10.1" tablet.

Ooooh hectic. I'm sure it was only on the ipad app. That's awesome. Do you use your dstv account to login? And I presume you using your wifi to stream? Busy downloading it

Yes you need your DSTV Connect login details. Yes using wifi.

Guys I have a premium account, want to watch tv on the Samsung Tab.
That is what I am asking and streaming via WIFI is not always an option

Thnaks'

Then get a drifta. Quality isn't great bit will do.

Oooooh. I also thought this was only available on the iThings and only that crap programming schedule was on Android - well, that was the case the last time I looked...

Thanks for messing with my future productivity, abzo. I owe you a 440ml can of Castle Milk Stout.

 

[Georgios]

I'm almost certain it was never on Android. It must of been on an update or something. Beer is definitely in order.

 

[MartyMarts]

I'd bet that 440ml can of Castle Milk Stout I'm keeping for abzo that it was not available on Android a while back.
