After purchasing dongle, user needs to call the customer care to upgrade the d2h STB software to enable connectivity and subsequently for the App to function. • In case of Bluetooth Connectivity, features like Media Sharing can be possible only with the help of a USB hub on which both the d2h Bluetooth Dongle and the USB storage (to store shared content) have to be connected. • Videocon d2h does not sell the USB hub and can be purchased from the market. • We recommend HUB iball 4 Port Piano 44 • Usage of the application is free.
