I have done a review of the DSTV mobile service by MTN but there is more to this package than just Mobile TV - It comes with a smart Nokia 5330 mobile phone.
Nokia 5330 Mobile TV Edition has a DVB-H/DVB-T broadcast receiver through which it received the TV service, but it is much more than just TV.
Great digital camera
It has got a superb 3.2MP camera that works like a digital camera since it can take clearer and much farther pictures of objects that may be far away. The camera works with a flash light and it can also switch to video recording one you flip the button.

I just bought my 5330 tv application, how do i configure my mobile tv application. Please guyz and experts help me out
Just insert a 128k MTN sim card into the phone, insert an earpiece and then switch on mobile tv. It starts searching for channels when channels have been found it may ask you to subscribe. Click on subscribe and buy. It costs N0.00 now so after that you will be able to browse.
Note you also need to have some credit on your sim as well as have it set up for gprs before installing the mobile tv else it wont go
