Interesting list.

The Outfit and The Drop Out don't get hyped on here. Heard they're frontrunners for Emmys glory.
I have them on my watchlist but mehn imma really struggle reaching my goals this month. Too many good content coming up this month.

While DSTV totally needs a revamp of thier programme outside of sports, they are actually doing Africans and in this context Nigeria a huge favour with the kind of pay tv they operate. In the uk for example, Virgin that owns The Sky brand are actually doing a bigger fleecing per say, you can pay as much as £41 for the sports package and mind you they share EPL "blockbuster matches" slot with BT sports, so BT sports owns the 12:30 EPL spot on Saturdays so imagine Man city and Liverpool have a game on Saturday by 12:30pm , you can't see it after paying £41! and mind you Sky doesn't have rights to the UCL, la liga and seria A. To get the full Sky package could cost up to £115! and this is huge money if you understand how earnings and taxation works in the UK. Even big boxing fights and UFC aren't even added to the sports package so you have to see them on per pay view, But DSTv shows you virtually all the games from EPL, La liga, Seria A, UCL, UEL, UCF, UYL, world cup, Euros, formula one, UFC, WBO etc on ONE SUB!

To DSTV content outside of sports, though i think they need improvement but still i think they are trying. Most movies are owned by the "Big 7" movie cooperation and these companies have move thier movie titles to thier respective streaming platform and to get rights to air them on a pay tv, you have to acquire these rights. and DSTV regularly have MCU or DCEU channels, during the height of GOT, Dstv was doing same day release as HBO!. and aside of movies they have other interesting content too like crime and investigation, Discovery, food channel, Nat Geo and Nat geo wild.

To thier pricing, this is i squarely place on the government and the unfair business clime here, imagine there was a Diesel shortage for a about two months this year, how did you think DSTV will break even at the end of the year in this situation?.

The prices for rights are not cheap. Dstv paid close to $650m for thier last EPL rights! coupled with the formula one, WBO, UFC rights, you tell me how can they afford all these with the business conditions here without reviewing thier prices frequently? HITV got full EPL rights and was offering full EPL package on a 4k sub per month, they were out of business in 3 years and was neck deep in debts.

The best movie I've ever seen in my life hands down, cinematography was crisp, soomany action sequences and dope choreography, soundtrack was Godtier too but the part that really aces it was the Pacing, it was soo perfect and helpful in creating a really coherent plot and story...
Wow, I really had a blast with this one and I highly recommend...Netflix have outdone themselves again...

Also shout out to Nicole Kidman and childhood hero Van Damme for also bringing their A game to this instant classic, a million applauds from me to everyone involved in making this beauty, really can't wait for the next sequel.

While these are salient points for DSTV's pricing system, I believe they need to do more especially in terms of pay-as-you-go they employ in SA and some other parts of Africa. It should be a fair billing system for most countries most especially when we're their biggest market. There's almost no advantage we enjoy despite being their most important market. And that's where the resentment with the company starts from.

The pillars of DSTV is sports content, Africa Magic (Nollywood content) and BB Naija. I don't see why Nigeria shouldn't have some preferential benefits given how important we're to its business development.

I'm out of the DSTV/GOTV ecosystem so I don't care much for their content these days. The only entertainment I gained from that vendor was it's music Channels. I was already leaning away from its Nature and Wildlife programs. Their sports programs, I could only access through viewing centres cos my siblings no go let person rest with Zee World, Africa Magic and Disney.
Still those yeye people messed up the music programming.

The only benefit I see now is the TNT movies I could be forced to watch to catch up on old movies I missed over the years.
I just missed when I was up to date with new music videos back then. Now I could only depend on regular broadcast TV and YouTube.

The French dispatch, is it any good? I have bookmarked it since

it is good if you are familiar with Wes Anderson's style.

Bro, Dstv doesn't offer "Pay as you go" anywhere in Africa because as of now, the infrastructure they have wouldn't be able to sustain the tech, they will need a total revamp of thier existing structure and require the end uses to have steady internet for this to be even technically and commercially possible. Let me break it down.

"Pay as you go" billing means you pay when your tv or device is connected to the DSTV system and you don't pay when your tv or device isn't connected to the DSTV system, this is typically a two way system requiring DSTV to be able to monitor your usage to know how to bill you, and they can only do this if the TV or Device is connected to the internet, how many people in this poverty capital of the world, have steady uninterrupted steady internet to stream DSTV content? So Dstv uses a "one way bill" cable system, where they charged a fixed amount per month not minding if you use the services or not, that's the only way they remain commercially viable and make profits. "Pay as you go" billing works on telecommunications because that's how the system it's built and the network can monitor your usage as you go but this isn't feasible for cable tv in this clime as of now.

There's also talk of "Per pay view". This is also DOA because both DSTV and the costumers will lose money. There was a Manny Pacquiao fight one time that cost approximately 38k to see on per pay view and meanwhile the highest dstv package was 18k at that time, imagine paying for one boxing match for 40k or 18k for DSTV sub for a month where the same boxing match will be available.

Me has completed ruled out Dstv for my music and movie needs, but really on them for sports and Docu.

Why not make use of IPTV if you have an Internet access.

An IPTV subscription cost about 20k for one year.
It's comes with all premium station's around the globe you could ever think of.

Live matches, movie channels, Series including NETFLIX subscription all for one year.

It's works perfectly on Smart TV, android TV or TV with android box, smart phones (IOS and android OS).

All content are in HD
