here you go: [removed by request]

root check removed
auth/device check removed

no decoder here so can't test it, pls check and report

EDIT: this is not a paid app so I HOPE it won't be considered warez. if mods do think otherwise please feel free to remove this post

Good news is the app installs and opens. Unfortunately it crashes when it seems to want to start displaying the picture...

Going to try on a stock P7500.

EDIT: Just tried on a stock P7500. Exactly the same behaviour :(

Thank you seo for removing the root check though. I am sure when the release this officially for the P7500 that we will be asking for that root check to be removed again.

Installs and opens fine.
Ran the app, with decoder on.
Skiped authentication part.
Found my decoder.
Said I needed to update the firmware of the decoder.
Updated the firmware.
Said if it doesn’t connect, I should reset the decoder.
Reset the decoder,
Restarted the app,
Found the decoder,
Gave a message… connecting to *decoder name*.
Then crashed.

Tested on Desire HD
Will test on a galaxy tab 10.1v and report back

Exactly the same thing happened on my Samsung Galaxy S2. Manages to find decoder, connected, updated firmware, restarted. Connecting and then just a black screen, and then menu screen of the phone. I would send a logcat, but my work PC doesn't have the SDK, will try this evening from home.

Thanks again Seo.

Thanks again Seo.

But your S2 should work, or have you rooted your phone?
The S2 is one of the supported devices.

Thanks for your help. What is the reason it wont work?
Should i get a logcat from my 10.1v? Do you think that would make a difference?

nope won't make a difference. too difficult to explain. better wait for an official support for your device

Watching and learning

as I said already: if you have a feeling that this can be considered warez please explain "why". and I will take it down immediately.

EDIT: everything else is nothing but trolling

    Don't think us DSTV people aren't watching this.

    You should watch and learn then.

    I'd be truly amazed if someone from multichoice was actually watching... its taken them over 5 months to get out a app, that only works for 3 devices... perhaps they should have commissioned xda-developers to write there app for them, I'm betting it could have been done in a fraction of the time...

    No doubt about that.
    But its all good. The app is now out there, and someone will find a way before Dstv release a proper app for more than 3 devices.

    No wonder that Samsung "sponsors" idols, and its just curious that the 1st android devices happen to be 3 Samsung devices. two of which are old (tab and s1).
    Its a joke if ask me...

    But like I said, now that the app is out there, someone will find a way.
