Without much fanfare DTSV Mobile have snuck out a “beta” release of their Drifta client software for Android devices. This is a mammoth release (compared to prior ones) and now supports an extra 30 odd devices covering a number of different manufacturers including :

• Sony (XPeria Range – X10, Play, Ray, Active, Pro, S, Arc, Neo, Pro)
• LG (Otimus range, Prada, Tablet)
• Motorola (MB860, Atrix, RAZR)
• Vantium (V1)
• Huawei (Ideos X5, U8800)
• HTC (Flyer and Sensation)

There are also a couple of extras on the Honeycomb and Standard release, nothing major though.

Check out the full supported device listing in the FAQ : j-j.co.za/gofaq on supported devices. Don’t forget that rooted devices can be made to work using OTA Rootkeeper.

Thanks to DSTV Product Development manager @neilinspace for tweeting about the update, even though I did miss it for a week or two

   i downloaded and installed the ‘beta’ version on my Neo, all works perfect on the phone, i plug in my HDMI-out, the channel listing appears on the TV, as soon as i select a channel the screen throws out the ‘do not support device’ message, is there as way around this?

     Hi Bevan

     DSTV don’t allow you to connect to external devices such as TVs. As soon as you plug in the HDMI cable the app will terminate.
