DSTV Mobile (DRIFTA) - What They Dont Tell You

Before you rush and buy that DSTV mobile gadget - Drifta or Walka, you need to know a few things they will never tell you.
1. You can only use it 'where there is signal coverage'. When I called their customer care to complain i couldn't connect, they told me the signal is only available in 'some parts' of Nairobi and Mombasa.
2. You can only see a few channels - currently 15 - that include the Big Brother, KTN, Cartoon Network and some others I have never heard of. So if you thought you will see all the Premier channels - for the Premier subscribers, think twice.
3. Whether you are using a laptop, PC or mobile phone, the window to view is as small as a smart phone screen, maximum of around 10cm X 8cm - and you cannot enlarge it more than that!
4. Your phone or Laptop or PC has to be Wifi enabled. If you thought you could use it in that pre-'08 PC, you are in for a 'pleasant' surprise.
Otherwise, it is a brilliant service, if you are ready to live with the above

It should come with a magnifying glass then!  Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

Nowadays magnifying glasses have their price with 60% being tax due to high importation tax,duty and vat so for those who don't want to feel cheated just tear a black veil and leave a hole of around 10cm X 8cm then cover your screen got the idea from buibui dressing

Otherwise, it is a brilliant service, if you are ready to live with the above @Popi, must have been meant for office use, right under the bosses nose. Ka-EUROCUP katembee!! Pesa Nane plans to be shilingi when he grows up.
