DStv updates Drifta Android app to support lower-spec devices

DStv Mobile’s Drifta WiFi app for Android, used to stream DVB-H mobile TV broadcasts over WiFi to an Android device, has undergone a few changes, the company said today. The update doesn’t remove the need for one of DStv’s Drifta mobile decoders but it does add in support for low-end devices running  Android 2.2 and upwards. DStv Mobile have also tweaked the branding and some of the WiFi
