I applaud this. I'm not laying a curse but stating facts when I say even in the year 2040 no Nigerian satellite television provider will produce content up to 10% of DStv's offering.

Habaaaa .. 2040 !?

Even later at the rate they are going.

I remember back in the day when I suspended my DStv subscription to try out startimes. The boredom wey hammer me using the platform ehn, no one told me to run back. I received the new explora 2 decoder for being a loyal customer -- the picture quality of their HD stations is unlike any TV service provider I've ever come across. I can sit down now and indulge in a boring TV program only because I'm mesmerized by the video quality.

Startimes picture quality when compared to DStv's is subpar, even below if possible.

Just like the new TSTV..
