We use MCL or PBS in Aba. With N2,100 monthly, you watch the whole European games, CNN, Al Jazeera, Discovery, etc. It's unfortunate that some powerful Nigerians connive with foreigners to rob us.

Please tell me about MCL or PBS! Is it a decoder? How does it work?

You said it all. Competition is what we lack. Also, the monopoly of Dstv on Euro Sports show should be broken, if possible.

[size=15pt]DSTV is "holding ground" only for now.

If the will of the people could bring "almighty" PDP to its knees, who and what is ordinary DSTV.

In the voice of Martin Luther King: "One day, Nigerian consumers would be spoilt for choice. DSTV would come calling, begging and bikoing but the market would look the other way. Has any brand ever won a war against the consumers? He who laff last laff best.[/size]

When buhari finally becomes the numero uno, one of two things will happen

Comsat(tinubu-owned) will start a rigorous competition with dstv by vying for EPL live matches licence

Or

Al Jazeera will be welcomed to increase their footprint to the south where all household can access them


Either way, bye bye to dsthieves

Something or someone has to come resolve an issue you are encouraging? Bro be fair to any government that does anything; if say they suspend DSTV's airing will you stand behind the government and forego your precious SS3?

Let's not lie, the Nigerian populace is not disciplined enough to solve this matter so its unfair to pass all the buck to the government

Good opportunity for Dokpesi to bring his Daarsat to limelight but instead of him to focus on developing business empire, he is busy meddling with politics. I just pity those who bought shares into the company when he floated his IPO

@trojanhorse and all those asslickers of DStv take note of the thread above. It will no longer be business as usual in Nigeria. A new dawn is here and DStv will definitely feel the wind of change blowing across the nation.

Nigga...ever heard of watching football in ur comfort zone?
Can u go to a viewing centre by 10pm to watch la liga matches?

The fact you enjoy your gotv at 1.5k is good for u.
The fees are extremely high for premium users cos aside weekends and weekdays football I dont see the usefulness of payin up to 14k....I use dual view...so I ve got to pay 16k every month..

All we need from dstv is to introduce pay per view as dat would reduce d subscription fees

I'm not saying it is right, I'm just saying it is not by force. grin

I dnt av a dstv, I have goTV. wetin I wan watch for dstv wey I go pay 14k? SS3? No, I'll pass.

If I dey used 100 watch match for 30 data at viewing centre, I no go spend 5k per month.

By the way, I av sound city, Chanell O, hipTV, trace, nat geo wild, Sony max, discovery, glitz, super sport select, ESPN, and so much more for just 1,500 per monTh.

So, na ss 1-7 go now make me go their office dey drop 14k per month?

Maybe later, when I can afford it.

We all know Nigerians patronise dstv mainly because of supersport. remember hitv was showing football matches too at about half the price of what dstv was charging. a few hundred thousand dollars in the pockets of some highly placed people and hitv was history!
I think we need to renegotiate terms here, it's either they slash their tariff by 50% or they waka go!
Re: Multi-choice MD, Spokesperson To Face Contempt Of Court Charge Over Dstv by queensmith: 8:15pm On Apr 17, 2015
Quite frankly I find the aggression towards a PRIVATE BUSINESS rather concerning can dome tell me whether it was DSTV that cobalised Nigeians? Is it by force to patronise them? Or if by impact of the falling naira they are forced to increase tarrifs what right does a court have to suspend them?

I downgraded from premium to compact this week. I even tried to pay ahead last month only to see the price had changed before the April 1 date on the ATM.

Quietly I carry my card Commot. Now I will watch whatever they show on compact. Use the balance to pay for swiftng data.

Don't see the sense in paying 14k for TV. The 12 was out of habit now they have made me go cold turkey.

Guy, where you see ESPN? It shows you don't even own a dish talk less of a decoder
dudes, sorry for ur loss, ok?

Naturally, gotv shows trace, ok? For ESPN and glitz, it requires just a little tweaking and upgrading to display. It is simple, ask from the viewing centre owners. They will gladly introduce them. Even with a strong decoder, u will make some stations work freely.

I hope u knw u can upgrade ur software both offline and in air?
And I hope u knw that transmission varies by states. If anybody from Ogun state says his gotv doesn't show trace and Chanel o, then I'm lying.

In akure, anybody can confirm this, gotv doesn't display more than 15 stations. African magic is not even there talk less of hiptv. Ask anybody from akure. U can't watch nat geo, discovery or aony max. So if your area doesn't transmit trace and Chanel O, dnt blame me.

I bet u dnt even knw u can use your Mtn subscription for full transmittion with the dstv. But the only reason I dnt do dt was because it requires u changing the settings every now and then.

But my gotv clearly shows: espn, glitz, with tweak, but trace, sound city, hiptv, super sport select, discovery world, Sony max, African magic general, Yoruba and Hausa, and so fuckin much more without tweaking.

And, I dnt even have a dish because gotv doesn't use a dish. I not mine long time ago and the antenna is even internal not the new ones with external antenna. My antenna is the small one u just hang inside or on ur decoder.

You said that without tweaking you can get Trace; but it is not listed on their website. I cannot find it on my list either.

Check http://nigeria.gotvafrica.com/mobi/channel-line-up.aspx

The only channels beginning with letter "T" they offer are Telemundo and Televista. GOtv does not "naturally" show Trace .

if ur go TV doesn't offer trace, sorry abt dt. I av it. And I av trace since 2013 dt I bought and tweaked my decoder. Listen bro, upgrade and dnt choose Nigeria. I knw u think it won't work but the guy who sold it did it right in his office, ok? And he said he only have to change some settings which he did with just a token since 2013.


My Gotv has trace urban, channel O is at channel 70 even though it stopped airing since march 31st according to M-net.

Anyways, whatever u think. Even if u say I dnt even av a TV. No wahala grin
