DSTV Mobile is set to release its third mobile TV device since the pay-TV operator’s mobile wing was commercially established in November last year.
The latest addition to DSTV’s mobile offering, the Walka Handheld TV, is a slim, lightweight device with a 3.5-inch viewing screen providing digital visual and audio quality.
The device’s predecessors, the Drifta and Drifta USB, give access to mobile TV across a wide range of devices such as PCs, laptops, tablets and smartphones. This is done through pairing the viewing device with the Drifta, or connecting the Drifta USB. The Walka is a portable TV that does not require any other devices to view.
DSTV Mobile General Manager, Mark Rayner, says the Walka Handheld TV was designed to enrich the mobile TV viewing experience.
After activating the Walka through the MultiChoice call centre, it connects to the DSTV Mobile DVB-H broadcast signal, giving access to 16 DSTV channels in the genres of sport, music, news, cartoons and general entertainment. The content line-up includes two new channels: M-Net Mobile and Discovery.
The same channels are available across all DSTV Mobile-capable devices for the same subscription rate. DSTV Premium subscribers pay no subscription to access DSTV Mobile.
The Walka will be available at MultiChoice centres and select retail outlets from 1 December.
