HOW TO SUBSCRIBE TO DSTV MOBILE TO WATCH PAID CHANNELS

With the beginning of paid
channels on dstv mobile, you
now have to pre-pay for the
service before you can start
watching the mobile tv service
on your device
On a capable device such as the
Nokia 5330, the mobile dstv
service has been made available
by DSTV in partnership with
telecoms companies like MTN, Glo
and others.
For about a year, this service had
been free for a while with about
14 channels being viewed by
numerous subscribers. I guess it
was the service provider's way of
allowing users to get used to it.
In order to start watching mobile
tv on your phone, you need to
have it configured for the service.

watching dstv mobile:
- A capable device
