DStv Mobile Drifta Android support imminent

Also works on Sony Xperia Arc - but does not work on Xoom with 3.2.

Odd, as it was reported to work on Asus Eee Pad

Does not work on my non-rooted Desire 2.3 (non HD). Once I select a channel it crashes.

Hi everyone.

Please download the following application:

Is the link still working?

Is this the apk?

I love how it doesn't work on "rooted" phones. Isn't the whole point of Android the ability to mod and customise.

no... not at all.

No, there is a newer one that does not require that your device is rooted.

DSTV FAIL.

Very very unprofessional support. First, they advertise that android support is coming 'soon', then in the user guide its already printed with 'android' support, then they go for a partial roll out 5 months after the release date.

In the words of The Wire's Bunk .. "Sh*iiiiiiiiiiiiit"

Most of us prefer a decent phone

Just so funny!! Thank you for making my day. Instead of focusing on the drifta, he should rather focus on his phone! Good on you for pointing it out to him!

can two phones whatch from the same drifta? same channels? or does it have a duel view func.

This is a very good question. I have a drifta myself and once the drifta is set up it transmits a signal, similar to a wifi signal, which is picked up by the receiving device like an iPhone. I can't see why you can't use multiple devices on the same drifta, similar to using multiple devices on the same wifi router. But I have not tested it. I will test it on an iPhone and iPad simultaneously and let you know.

Only one device can connect
