MultiChoice has announced that its DStv Mobile TV service will no loner be available after 31st of October, 2018.
DStv Mobile TV since its launched in 2010 has been in operation and it used DVB-H technology, this allows subscribers to access DStv on their smartphones, laptops, or tablets via a technology designed by geeks called Drifta mobile decoder.
This decoder receives a DVB-H signal and converts it into a Wi-Fi signal for smart devices to be able to access it.
The service was N1,260 per month. DStv Premium customers received one month Mobile subscription for free, with additional subscriptions charged at N1,260 per month each.
"Over the last few years, technology has evolved as broadband access continues to grow. It’s not feasible to continue to maintain a separate land-based, dedicated network for this service alone, when an even better service can be offered to our customers on DStv Now via the Internet and WiFi,” said MultiChoice. As you can see DStv Now App is the main reason why Multichoice is ending its DStv mobile service. Drifta mobile decoder receives a DVB-H signal and converted it into a Wi-Fi signal for smart devices to access, but DStv Now does that over internet and Wi-Fi connectivity". They said.
MultiChoice told subscribers who currently have a Mobile subscription that it has already started to switch off certain transmitters. This will impact reception for certain users.
As a result, users will not be charged their subscription fee from 1 September 2018. Decoder insurance on Mobile devices will also be canceled.
DStv Now is what is in vogue these days, so you don't need Drifta mobile decoder anymore. Just open your Dstv Now app end enjoy the streaming live
