Which Nokia phones can be used to watch DSTV?

DSTV is a popular service provider in Africa when it comes to their cable Satellite TV service. They offer people a Pay TV service that allows subscribers to watch hundred of channels across the world including local tv channels.

With a DSTV subscription, watching TV is no longer boring as people in Africa can now watch channels like CNN, Aljazeera, MTV, E!, Telemundo, Channel O, BET, Cartoon network or African Magic.

To watch DSTV channels, one would have to be a subscriber and also have some electronics like a signal decoder, a satellite dish and a television. That system however makes one only able to watch DSTV at a fixed location such as your home or office. How about being able to watch DSTV or other cable TV service on the go anywhere you are?

Well, mobile phone companies like Nokia have invested into the mobile entertainment business using mobile phone technology on some of their products. There are some Nokia phones that allow you to watch live tv on the go without having to be connected to a television or even the internet. Those phones normally come with Digital Video Broadcasting - Handheld (DVB-H) technology. DVB-H is basically a platform through which data can be broadcast to mobile phones from media companies.

GSM companies in partnership with DSTV in Africa have already started tapping into Nokia's technology in offering subscribers the ability to watch mobile TV channels from DSTV on their phones.

The DSTV mobile service is available to any mobile phone that has in-built DVB-H technology and Nokia seems to have the most of such phones.

So, if you want to watch DSTV on your mobile phone without having to use internet data or connect to a WiFi network, you should get a DVB-H capable Nokoa phone and these works with cable tv providers like DSTV.

Here is a list of some Nokia phones that can be used to watch Cable TV on the go.
