channels are available across all DStv Mobile capable devices: sport, news, music, cartoons, and general entertainment will continue to inform and entertain subscribers.
It was also announced that the popular channel, M-Net Series, has been added to DStv Mobile bouquet. "Consumer feedback has shown us that M-Net Series is a highly desired channel for mobile consumption and we’re glad that we were able to secure it for our mobile viewers," comments Aletta Alberts, general manager of DStv Content.
