Compared to smartphones, tablets are much better for watching video largely due to their larger displays, making the TV viewing experience on tablets better. Their larger 7-inch to 11-inch display offers a more brilliant view. With a DVB-H accessory called, the Drifta, you can watch DSTV Mobile on tablet computers running Android, Windows 8, iOS, or Windows Phone and you can even watch free if you are an active DSTV subscriber.
