The Drifta is a mobile decoder for connecting your device to DSTV Mobile. DSTV Mobile broadcasts signals in DVB-H, but since most devices do not come with DVB-H receivers built-in, a DVB-H accessory is usually required for watching DSTV Mobile on your mobile devices. The Drifta Decoder receives the DSTV Mobile signal on its built-in DVB-H receiver and connects to your mobile device via Wi-Fi or USB depending on the model you choose.
With the Drifta you can watch up to 16 DSTV Mobile channels on your Windows or Mac laptop as well as the Android, Symbian, iOS, Windows, Windows Phone, or BlackBerry smartphones and tablets.
