meobizy:
Where’s proof of the claim?

Ournolly:

Exactly the same question I am asking.
I am not currently using the services so I can't agree or disagree, their marketers however have been making such claims.
It is also boldly written on their website.

meobizy:

I don't need to visit their website to know they're spouting falsehood. The service till now has zero customers talk less of a working device. If so, then Nairaland has moderation bots; a claim the authorities here can make which the enlightened know too well is a lie. Without DStv, a lot of Nigerians would remain ignorant of High Definition video. No Nigerian service, in fact most satellite video providers that I know of, have provided as many HD stations as Multichoice, South Africa. TStv will learn the tricks of the trade after Multichoice perfects then discontinues them. For now, they are not in the same league.

MrKodak:

Hmmmn! I would have thought like u, only until I decided to install my TSTV.
Truth is, I don't know if they run on 4k cos I don't use a 4k tv but, their channels are in super quality, much more clearer than DSTV. They have more high definition channels than DSTV (I have DSTV as well so no bias here) The only thing they don't have is premium sports like EPL and maybe shows like big Brother. Personally, I keep the DSTV for the rest of my family and TSTV in my room cos the channels I will rather watch are found on TSTV and I am not joking.

meobizy:

Pictures?

MrKodak:

Am not a tstv marketer, if u need more info, go to their office, if not stick to what are using. Couldn't care less. I just gave an opinion on what am using and working for me and i am happy with.

austino677:
Not bad at all

anozie09:

How many inches is the TV and what brand please? I’m looking to get a new TV.

austino677:
Samsung q6f 55" i think 17/18 model

meobizy:
TStv claims they offer a hundred plus HD channels when their elder brother Multichoice doesn’t have up to forty. Nigerians will never stop deceiving one another.

Ournolly:

I do not see anything special about providing HD channels, almost all channels these days are on HD.
Many American satellite pay TV providers offer uhd channels.

Ournolly:

Yeah, not bad but certainly not 4k resolution.

Themandator:



He says he doesn't have a 4k TV and you are repeating the same thing...his television cannot transmit 4k picture cause it is not 4k compliant but HD

Ournolly:

Bro he didn't say his TV is not 4k complaint, na you dey add this one here.

Check his next reply he actually said his TV is Samsung q6f 55, as a Samsung smart TV fan that currently uses a new model qled TV I can confirm that his TV has 4k capability.

Ournolly:

I directly quoted austino677 who posted the picture in that reply and certainly not referring MrKodak.
Seems like you are a bit confuse here.

Themandator:




OK. The person who posted picture is different from the person who made the statement of not having a 4k television

At any rate, tstv broadcast all their channels to homes as HD pictures which is more prevalent in Nigeria now than 4k

When 4k becomes common we will debate that one

Ournolly:

Actually, 4k is common but the content is lacking.
You should be aware that 4k resolution is very expensive to maintain as the data transfer involved is massive.

Take the file size for example
1 hour movie of
HD ready (720p) - about 800mb
Full HD (1080p) - about 1.2gb
Uhd 4k - about 43gb, H.265 encoding may compress it to about 10gb but we all know that H.265 is CPU resource intensive.

Imagine broadcasting in 4k to 10,000 subscribers at the same time, can tstv afford that? Certainly no.
TSTV may have the equipment but cannot afford the resources of successfully broadcasting in 4k.
As rich as Multichoice seems to be I doubt they can afford the resources too.
We all know their HD channels are in HD ready and not full HD.

Ournolly:
Thread update, tstv does not offer 4k resolution in any of their channels.
Ignore their stupid marketing lies.
